Edit: I'll also add that anyone who wants to ban guns please take a walk through downtown la, or compton, or any gang infested block at night and tell me what you think when you are done. the United States has a gang violence problem, not a gun problem. The gangs get their guns from illegal sources in the US or when they buy their drugs from the mexicans. Banning guns will not impede their ability to purchase them in any way as the guns they buy are illegal, come from illegal sources, and come from a country we have no juridstiction in. So until there is a closed border with no drug/people/weapon smuggling any leglislation is useless. Thses weapons will be bought from people drugs dealer instead of a gun shop or show. On top of closing the border we would have to remove the need for gangs to exist, which is drugs. With out the drugs there would be no reason for gangs, with no gangs there would be less violence and less deaths (as most gun deaths occur in cities with gangs). so if your really anti violence and really want to savbe lives you should be pushing for better drug laws, and for closing and securing the border. But I dont see many polititions who are anti gun being pro closing border so nothing will change. |
Pepper Spray is available in different concentrations. One of my friends tried it out to see if it worked, 300lb, down in a second. Tasers work too, but you gotta hold them down.
As for your edit, yea, maybe in those neighbourhoods you need one. However that doesn't mean you shouldn't have stricter Gun Regulations. In Canada, if you don't live or work in a high crime neighbourhood, it's much harder to get a gun, and it should be like that in the States.
I also said countless times that Drugs are a much bigger issue then Guns.
