Gun control does work... Australia has proven it, the evidence is overwhelming, it shouldn't even be up for debate anymore.
The fact that guns can still be smuggled in, printed and abused by those in positions of power doesn't discredit the effectiveness gun control has had on Australia or other nations that have implemented Gun Control.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: There are billions of guns in the USA and there is no way gun control laws work in a large country. |
Sure there are, it will just be a larger logistical effort than other nations.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: Corrupt police officers and custom officers can get guns through because a good pile of cash to turn a blind eye is appealing. |
Then they need better and stricter border policies, that's not the fault of Gun Control.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: It is an Americans right to bear arms to defend his/her property. |
Sure. But what you forget is that Gun Control doesn't actually remove your right to bear arms anyway, making this argument extremely redundant.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: Guns do not kill people. People kill people. |
Guns allow for the death of people far quicker, easier and conveniently than other methods which tend to be more confrontational.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: The NRA, Gun lobbyists, the Republicans and the majority of Americans oppose gun control laws. |
And? Who cares? Plenty of people are supportive of gun control laws.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: Good guys with guns will stop the bad guys with guns. More guns for good guys is needed to stop the bad guys with guns. |
Not always. Sometimes the good guys get killed first.
Sometimes the good guys fuck up and kill other good guys.
Sometimes the good guys fuck up and leave their weapon of choice unsecured which can sometimes result in the death of a curious child, or stolen by someone with malicious intent.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: Only Leftist/Socialist push gun control laws that can never be implemented in a large country like USA, Russia or Germany, corrupt officials, public backlash and the growth of a black market of illegal arms dealers. |
Fake news. Gun control was implemented by a right-wing government in Australia and has generally had bipartisan support ever since, it's only from the far-far-right or left political parties/loonies that oppose it.
Gun Control isn't leftist/socialist.
I find it hilarious when someone states that a nation that can land a man on the moon cannot implement Gun control, do you have any idea how silly your claim is?
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: Small countries like Australia, New Zealand have implemented gun control laws that have been effective because the countries have small populations and manageable and there is no bill of rights that gives people the right to bear arms. |
The size of a country has nothing to do with it.
The bill of rights has nothing to do with it.
The right to bear arms isn't being destroyed, it's a false fear-campaign from the uneducated about gun control, you do NOT loose access to guns, you can still own guns in Australia and New Zealand and other nations.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: It has been a God given right for Americans to own guns for 240 years and it is in the bill of rights of the American Constitution. Republicans, NRA, gun lobbyists are not going to allow any changes to the American Constitution. |
No changes needed to the American Constitution.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: There is not much Americans can do to change anything in the US because the Republicans, gun lobbyists, strong conservative media ensures that nothing changes. Americans have a great fear of Socialism/Communism and propaganda is spread to ensure that people vote for no changes and America stays the same. Only 50 to 60% of the American adults vote in Presidential elections ensures that nothing ever changes in America. |
Maybe Americans might just stop supporting politicians who are getting paid off by lobbyists/lobby groups?
