Well lets calm down a bit and talk about this.
First of all, im not from america. Im from europe so we have clear gun rules here and that is no.
The way i see it is that gun control is a very important thing. And banning them could solve alot of problems.
Here in the netherlands there hasnt been a single school shooting as far as i know. Think its even like a couple in entire europe in the last 30 years. Why? Because we cant easely get our hands on guns.
Look, i can understand that people want to protect themselfes. I also have a bat next to my bed just in case. But think about it. You dont put a handgun in a safe just to protect yourself. Because by the time you open the safe, its already to late and they are in your room. So you keep it at a place easy to reach.
I legit think most of the people with guns in america are handeling it with care. Keeping it away from kids and so on. But there are always those that do not. Those create the situations that causes problems with guns.
And its also the fact that instead of having a handgun for protection, there are people that have an entire armory at there house. I even heard from people that they have a freaking sniper rifle at home. For what is my question then.
Again, im not from america so i really cant judge. All i do is sharing my opinion about it hoping i wont offend anyone. So stay calm and discuss and no name calling plz.

I appreciate your opinion. Speaking as a person raised in the South, I have seen some of those things that you heard of. I would point out though that Switzerland has people strolling the streets with ARs strapped to their backs. I know that is like comparing apples to oranges. I would like to know what the Swiss do so differently than us. I freely admit that we have a problem here in America, but I also realize that the situation is far more complicated than just a mental illness problem. We tend to oversimplify the issue and that prevents any real meaningful change. I would love to study Swiss culture and find out what makes them able to have ARs without people killing each other in the streets.

Aren't you talking about army tho? What normal people stroll the street with an AR strapped? You kidding me right?

I legit didnt know that was going on in switcerland. Yeah that is also wrong. Right now i really dont have a solution for it. [spoiler]i know my spelling is horrible right now, but thats because i just realised we are also talking in a different thread and cant stop laughing. Lets say i will [i]let it go! Let it goo!![/i][/spoiler]

Edited by Gladlin: 10/15/2015 5:53:48 PMYeah but as I said, the Swiss do not have a problem with gun violence despite the prevalence of ARs. This leads me to believe that there is something about the Swiss culture and society that prevents the violence we see over here. I am a student of criminology so I would love to spend a year in Switzerland and observe and learn from them. [spoiler]You are such a turd!! ;-). I am very pleased to meet you, friend.[/spoiler]

Edited by Unforgiven: 10/15/2015 11:26:46 PMPossibly the Swiss have more common sense, and have better ways to keep the guns away from kids. Americans on the other hand so far have shown that they are unable to control the access of guns to children. Let me ask you a question. What do you to a little boy who doesn't listen. You take a way his toys. Same thing here. Take away the guns from the people. Simple. Eliminate the gun, and take away the risk of it doing harm. Simple.

Taking away the guns will create more problems. There are people out there who will consider it a literal act of war if the government makes that move. For the sake of peace, I hope that never happens.

Great they should make their own country then with their own stupid redneck laws. I prefer to be in a country where I don't have to worry about having someone shoot me in the head when I accidentally walk onto their property.
-
I live in the Deep South. Never had that worry.
-
Banning guns doesn't help alot though, because then the people with the guns are the criminals who got them illegally.

Edited by Unforgiven: 10/15/2015 11:31:57 PMThats good then they can kill each other. Most criminals are cowards. They choose criminal life because they are too lazy to do anything else or were pushed into it without a choice. Most of their lives end up badly or they find Jesus and pretend that they were forgiven. But they will get whats deserved in the end. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

True, but you do agree that something should be done right?
-
There need to be more checks to see if you have the mental health to own a gun. Nothing can really stop the black market guns, but it needs to be harder for the crazies to get a legal gun.
