Should we Ban Guns?

You have to take a psychotic test to purchase a gun in Canada, and it's easy to fail, one of my very normal friends took it, and failed. If you have a history of schizophrenea, or bi polar in the family, even if you are mentally competant and disease free, you can't get a gun. You also sometimes need family member to take the psych test if there is a chance they can steal the gun from you. I also believe you need a justified reason for owning a gun, and there a few clauses (like you can;t own a handgun if you have children under the age of 6). For example, I can't get a gun outside the shooting range unless I want to purchase a rifle for hunting deer. It's almost impossible for me to get a handgun because I have no use for it. I don't like in a ghetto neighbourhood, and if I did, I would pass the fitness test, so I can fend for myself without a gun.

In Japan it's almost impossble to get a gun, and I'm not even sure if you can own one, just lease it from the government.

In South Korea, it's literally impossible to get a gun. Border security is tight, the only way you can get a gun, is if you make it yourself.


Because of these strict regulations, an old lady can't buy a gun if there is a chance her teenage son will steal it and use it. This is my issue with guns, it's just too damn open in the USA. It's fine if an old lady in a ghetto area wants a gun for protection....IFF you can garentee she has no family members who might abuse her, steal the gun, and kill people. Guns are just too easy of a way of killing others.

You analogy to drugs is true, but drugs are easier to smuggle. You only need 1 seed to grow a drug plant. You can't grow a gun.

A)  The vast majority of drugs in any country are smuggled in.  Practically nobody actually domestically grows drugs except for personal use.

 

B) By buying a gun... I mean illegally.  It is extremely easy to buy guns illegally. (or pretty much anything. people find ways to eaisly buy fucking tigers and shit.)

 

A) Complete bullshit. Example, in Canada Marijuanna seeds are legal to buy. You can actually buy Marijuanna seeds at the store because the law banning Marijuanna specifies THC as a banned substance, but seeds are dormant and contain no THC.

B) This is probably why USA has so many problems. You guys at least need stricter gun....and tiger, controls.

People don't jump on you because they're gun crazy.  They jump on you because they're well informed.  Gun control has been statistically proven to either do nothing or possibly even cause harm.

You are scared only because of your own ignorance on the topic.  Someone with a liscense to carry a gun is less likely to shoot somebody then someone who doesn't own a gun. 

Also, yes meth is that big of a problem in Denver.  

BS too, you know how crazy you sound on my end? You need a pistol to go to Walgreens so you don't get robbed. That's ludacrous.

I'm ignorant, I just showed you that countries with strict gun control, and good boarders have less homicides. You completly ignored that fact. USA, Mexico, Russia, all have boarder controls, and poor gun control regulations, and as a result (Plus because of drug abuse) you have high homicide rates.

Someone who has a liscence to carry a gun is less likely to shoot somebody who doesn't own a gun? I don't know where you heard that, but regardless, if the gun owner can't garentee that his gun is out of reach of a family member or friend who might use it, he shouldn't be able to get a gun. Simple.

Grandma's don't need semi-autos, and they shouldn't be able to get one when their kid is nuts.
