THE (RESTRICTION) OF RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!

[Kniaz]

You should look into countries that have active bans/restrictions in place.

Places like lovely Australia.

Look up statistics of gun violence/related deaths, and put them next to that of America.

Look at how Self Delete rates actually dropped, after the restrictions came into place.

Then look into why we got these restrictions.

Interesting stuff.

except with a 120 drum you can kill more people...

You're a clown
120 rounds in a drum is the same thing as 10 magazines with 12 rounds each
120 bullets
10 reloads
Also means you'll focus on every shot and make them all count

Skipped the last 8 pages, this may be a bit misinformed, but...

Considering the population of America, can all those people really be trusted to make decisions regarding the use of a gun, that would be the most beneficial to society? By that I mean that shooting up a school is not very beneficial to society, as is shooting up a mall.

  I was reading the entire first ~8 pages, and I never saw the word "trust" being used. That's what it is about in my opinion. When you have one person in your country, then perhaps. But when you have 313.9 million people, there are going to be people who you can't. Probability-wise, It'll be inevitable that someone will simply misuse guns due to their persona, and just because of the fact that we're human. Maybe some people are naturally cruel, or simply like to cause trouble, or they're just plain stupid and are easily influenced. One can increase education about firearms, which may reduce the issue, but you can't remove the problem completely. If America is willing to accept this 'price' they must pay to keep the gun market open, then that is their decision.
 
  Really I think that everyone who wants a gun should have to go though a extensive system which would then decide whether or not the individual in question should be allowed own a license for a gun. Nothing bigger than sidearms.

You can't compare other countries. Mentalities and cultures are completely different. Japan for example. Yes, they have zero guns, and their crime rate is low, but they have a very differing culture than ours.

Look at Mexico which has no right to bear arms and look at all the crime and corruption. Then compare the US to other countries that also allow their citizens to own rifles and handguns. The point being is that laws that work for one country don't work for others.

Also did you know are more likely to be killed by someone you know rather than a complete stranger?

And their internet is forcibly censored. Don't forget that.

This isn't about Internet censorship, pretty sure.

That's funny because that's already a thing
it's great you know
we have these crazy things called BACKGROUND CHECKS that already exhist
But they don't do anything lol! They just check your criminal record, medical record, social behavior, other worthless material, haha! Not like it's done by a federal agency or somethi- Oh. Wait a second.

Edit: I JUST noticed your second part of that statement and had a good chuckle about that one too!

Ha yeah I know right? Because it would be terrible if criminals could find a way to fit a M1911 in their coat pocket because of their small size! Wait a second I own a jacket where one pocket is shaped LIKE a handgun... Oh no I could hide a sidearm! Well that's okay, cause a pistol can't hurt you as much as a shotgun!
Unless y'know, they hit me with a bullet, which goes completely unaffected by the gun itself, so regardless of whether it's fired from a rifle or a pistol it'll still loving kill you on impact
People, firearms aren't a difficult thing to figure out, just use some common sense please

[Bisjac]

all governments need to be overthrown every few hundred years. its required.
it can't be done without the citizens being armed. that is the entire point of the second ammendment.

you guys been brainwashed into thinking its got something to do with home security.

I already overthrew the government. They've been working for me for the past ten years.

Ahh, that's what they want you believe! In reality, it was I that overthrew the government!

that must've sounded funnier in your head
you've basically said "lol no it was me"
p. sure that's not how humor works

yeah these guys watch the news and think law abiding citizens are the ones shooting up theaters and schools.
when in every situation, the guns were stolen from people who passed their own background checks.
the checks are irrelevant to stopping crime, since a criminal isn't going to be stopped from attaining weapons regardless of the laws.

[ResonKinetic]

Exactly as planned. You've been working as my pawn for ten years straight, completely oblivious to what was happening right before your eyes.

your due date is coming up Mr. President

You do realize that I chose the President to do my bidding for this world, correct?
