....this is a very strange thread, and I'm not sure what the argument is given that virtually no one is saying we should ban THOSE types of guns. So I don't think I will bother saying anything more. I will, however, leave the results from this CNN poll that states that yes, people do in fact want common sense gun control regulation. Just, you know, don't ban all guns. Cause that'd be stupid

CNN's audience is hyper-liberal. Let's try a Gallup poll instead.

Only idiots and lonely old woman agree to phone surveys. Excuse me if I don't respect the opinion of people who are too dumb or polite to hang up on an annoying and interrupting call.

I agree with background checks, no guns for felons and mentally ill, and would be up for discussing high capacity magazines, but banning semi-automatics? I think some people don't know what a semi-automatic gun is. That basically means each time you pull the trigger, a single bullet comes out. That would be most guns, including most handguns, revolvers, and a ton of rifles.

Hey, I like my 30 round mags. I have a nice little speed loader so I can load up several mags and go out to target shoot. The more rounds per mag mean I don't have to stop and reload. I'm not shooting anybody, just targets. Why should I have to throw away my property when it won't have any effect AT ALL on criminals commiting crimes?

question: how hard is it to get a gun in the states, if it's your first time (hand guns and machine guns)



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

people here talking bout weapons like that make me feel sad, i dont want guns around me, i dont want armed cops
weapons have no purpose other than killing, weapons as a sport is ridiculous

I guess self-defense against criminals is not a purpose? Are you also against archery competitions (weapons as a sport)? Tell you what, I'll buy you a house next door to me on the condition that you put a big sign in your yard that says "I don't believe in guns and don't own one", that way, any criminals will bother you and not me.

well, ive never needed a weapon, i dont know anybody who has needed a weapon there must be something wrong with people around you plus a weapon doesnt stop anybody from using weapons, even if you carried a M16 with you, i could easily kill you from your back
