Theres a solution to that though.... get good quality Cops and lots of them.
Tighten controll of shipping, and make sure guns dont get in.

Its possible to controll that.

Our borders are too huge to be conrolled, even in US borders with Mexico, which are right now much better controlled, still lots of drugs and illegal guns come to US via Mexico. Imagine here in Brazil, which has even bigger borders with not only one, but several countries, in almost each one has its own drug cartels.

keep in mind that Canada has a border with the States and gun ownership / murder is massively lower than in the USA, to suggest that you're linked to something with a stupid amount of guns would cause you to have guns and homicide then you have Canada which disproves that 100%

If Canada shared borders with the same countries as Brazil, everything would be different, guns and drugs would rain all over in Canada. US, with all problems they have, has a much more prepared police and better laws to deal with this situation than the countries Brazil shares its borders with.

We are gonna have to go for the lesser of two evils. This means gun control because the ultimate question is how many others are there out there sick like this dude. I would prefer gun control to rolling the dice on innocent lives.

Yeah because when Hitler or other dictators banned guns, everything was just peachy.

The fact that "Gun Control" Translates to its most extreme variant of "Banning all guns" in your mind shows that you're not mature enough to be having this conversation.

The government will keep pushing for more "Gun Control" when they find out their last attempt fail like always. Eventually, resulting in banning guns. Look how Chicago has some of the strictest gun control and yet a higher than normal gun-related deaths and politicians are still trying to push for more gun control in Chicago. The end goal of gun control is banning, let no one fool you otherwise.

1/2. Canada is not another country?  As “other countries” implies, more than one nation has a system historically proven successful that West Korea could look to.  You didn’t want to look at small, and/or island countries.  Fortunately, West Korea has a nation right next door that is exempt from your arbitrary, disqualifying criteria.  But don’t let that stop you from moving the goal posts enough to convince yourself that the continued strategy of sitting with your thumb up your ass is a viable alternative.

3. Of course not.  Best refrain from replying to a possibly nonexistent comment from a bygone era, then. So much easier it is to find something that is actually relevant to say to the present subject matter instead.

4. And yet you were the one who brought it up all on your own.  To me.  What are the odds?

Here you go, SuaveFauxcialist.

Awesome.  I cannot wait to read this!

.........

Unsurprisingly, I see nothing in that link resembling what you told me.  But looking through that thread, I do see you have a long-standing pattern of reading things that were not written, though.  

if you read this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8735922 you will note that I never argued for disarmament in the first place, quickly clarifying that in point of fact, nor did I say anything of that silliness about “the proletariat” or the “bourgeois state”. Thank you for turning my attention to this; your “evidence” wound up absolving me of your accusation, and it also vindicated my observations of your illogic/questionable literacy.

I can see why you didn’t want to talk to me, I gave you quite the spanking in that exchange. For it to have haunted you for so long...I wish you a speedy psychological recovery.

So, so much wrong here. 

Strawman fallacy followed by a slippery slope fallacy and a false equivalency/Confirmation bias. 

Chicago having higher than average gun crime does not disprove the concept of having stricter laws resulting in better management of the gun problem. Look at virtually every other developed nation in the world for my counterpoint/counter argument. 

Strawman fallacy because you're using the most extreme version of your opponent's argument to make your point; also known as argumentum ad absurdium. (or something like that. The exact spelling is too Latin for my English sensibilities.) 

Slippery slope fallacy is illustrated by the fact that you think that stricter laws will automatically default to that strawman fallacy. This is false, and there is virtually no proof to back up your claim, hence your confirmation bias wherein you find one example (Chicago) that supports your claim while strategically ignoring the overwhelming mountain of evidence to the contrary. 

I repeat: you are clearly not mature enough to be having these discussions if you employ so many fallacious arguments and can't see beyond your own bias.

Hey, whatever you say, SuaveStateCapitalist. With "advocates" of the working class like you, who needs capitalists? 

But for some reason you think I "accused" you of something. I merely said that I don't want to have the same discussion again (which is where it would've lead.) But of course being the anti-social personality that you are you kept pressing. Now kindly leave me alone and go roleplay elsewhere please. Thank you.

The reason being that I understand what words mean, and I can read them as they are written.

You...not so sure.  Too much evidence to the contrary.
