This next quote wasn't actually said by Morgan Freeman, but it does make sense.


I'm not exactly sure how many people defend themselves from bears with a gun...

Is that because they're all dead? What else would you defend yourself with? Your out hunting deer and you happen across a ______ bear (fill in the blank for ANY kind of breed! yay!) bear sees you, and runs towards you. what do you do? SHOOT. NOW. DONT WASTE TIME. Or just become bear chow, thats cool too.

Politics on the Blockland Forums are like Black people voting in the 1950's.

Why can't the anti gun crowd move to countries with tighter gun control?

Gun laws should be more strict.

The possession of automatic weapons should be illegal, unless you have special police permission and observation (experiments!) or are in the army. Police may carry semi-automatic ones. Same should go for shotguns, civilians should not be allowed. Only pistols/handguns should be allowed for citizens to carry.

Police have no need for automatic weapons. Automatic assault rifles are inaccurate and terrible for long range attacks. Besides automatic weapons are already illegal for ownership unless you have a class 3 license, which are hard to get.

Going to make a quick post seeing as I'm on my mobile, I will go more in depth tomorrow.  But, keep in mind a semi automatic pistol in the hands of a trained professional is a LOT more dangerous than a 16 year old kid with no gun knowledge wielding an automatic rifle.

says the guy who's profile displays a pony and claims the show turns people into filthy perverts
automatics maybe, why shotgun? why RIFLE!? You do realize these are two winter sports, right? OLYMPIC winter sports? aka you will NEVER remove rifle/shotgun from american gun stores in like... EVER?

Shotguns aren't a danger. AA12/jackhammers/SPAS-12 are a danger, because they are fully automatic. Otherwise, they have a long barrel and their action requires a set amount of time that in the same situation of the Connecticut shooting, far fewer would have died.
In the case of a bolt action rifle; holy hell those take a long time to deal with the action without damaging it / jamming the bullet, not to mention you might have to replace each individual bullet unless you have it set to magazine fed.

Deer population would EXPLODE, resulting in more accidents out where I live. There is also a tiger rescue facility that takes care of tigers, and guess what they rely on? DEER MEAT DONATIONS FROM HUNTERS. And what would all of the hunters do now with this free time? studies show that less than 50% of Americans own a firearm, but only 1 in 10 hunt. That said, 1/10th of america's current population is still roughly 78,739,750 people (someone double check that for me? <3 that was quick mental math, I may have skipped a step)

Police have no need for automatic weapons.
Except in cases of some guy holding out in the building with an AK and several magazines. But that totally doesn't happen.

Hahahah good one. You listed two semi automatic weapons as fully automatic

Asking people who disagree with the status quo to leave the country is making an unreasonable demand of them, a form of censorship, and also doesn't make any sense in a historical context - the nation was founded on disagreements and if we all followed your suggestion there wouldn't be anybody left here.

You're right, it doesn't happen. When someone's holding out with an AK in a building the police notably DON'T go in, even with assault weapons and body armor, because it's a stupid idea.

Mr. AK is no match for police sniper with a Ruger 14 with a scoped mounted on it. Seriously whats the point of having MP5's and AR15's for small town police forces. All you need is a shotgun, maybe a ruger, and your .40 or .45 calibre pistol. I can see LAPD having a reason to have AR15's, mp5's. Also does anyone think police officers going around with camouflage is stupid?
