We must ban everyone from having something because a few idiots will abuse it.

That's not my argument.

Then what is?

YOU MUST
NARFLE THE GARTHOK!

Robdude is my LW Wife.

Regulating Gun Ownership is necessary, but an all out ban isn't an efficient practice. I don't expect that there weren't any Shootings under this Ban. I'm sure there would have been more cases of Incidents where a Licensed Owner injured/killed another individual (Or even himself XD). But I bet that now there will be less incidents in which a licensed/illegal owner injured/killed another individual. All together decrease in statistics.

But the simpler thing to do is just not allow gun possession. It will be out of reach to the mentall ill people that might commit crimes and those hard ass dudes that have guns will always have them anyway. Allowing the general population to have guns doesn't solve the problem.

The fact that besides rifles for hunting and whatnot, guns have no real purpose for the general population. The laws should be a lot stricter and an indepth background check should be carried out if they want one. They'd have to renew the permit every 6months or so.

If I had a knife, and you didn't have I knife. I'd be less scared of you, and if I wanted something, I'd know I can get it easier. However, if you had a gun, I'd say fuck that.

It's the uncertainty of who has a gun and who doesn't that will make a difference.

defense, protecting oneself from the govt's potential tyranny, the fact that you dont NEED a reason, etc. and mentally ill people are statistically not more violent than mentally 'sane' people, even though statistics dont really matter when deciding personal freedoms

---

That's what I'm saying, there should be a reason for owning a gun, not just giving it to those that ask just because.

But statistics prove it doesn't make a difference. People aren't scared of everyone because they may have a gun. Arming everyone won't solve the problem, it will just make it worse.

---

If statistics don't make a difference, how would you explain the higher crime rate in DC over a large portion of cities all over the world? Disregarding Third-world-countries.
