Throughout history only slaves have been disarmed. Gun control will never occur in the United States with 230 million Americans armed to the teeth (90 guns for every 100 people). By the way, you can purchase shotguns and rifles in NYC, and even conceal carry handguns (if you're an investment banker...). "High-powered and automatic" weapons is subjective, as a shotgun has more "mass mowing" power than anything, and 99% of civilian assault rifles are semi-automatic because obtaining a class 3 automatic license through the ATF is basically impossible.

I like those odds to protect my life, property, and liberty.

America will enjoy its guns and other western nations will enjoy their very low rate of gun crime.

To each his own.

Mexico has the strictest gun control laws in the world, and is above America.

You should do some research before you post. You can purchase a gun anywhere in the country of Norway if you meet some very basic requirements. "Norway has a large population of hunters.[3] Semi-automatic and bolt action rifles, as well as shotguns, make up the better part of the guns in civilian homes."


"Also, there is a restriction on the number of weapons an owner can have for each calibre. For recreational shooters, only one gun is allowed in each caliber. For professional and semi-professional shooters, a spare gun is allowed. A recreational shooter is only allowed to own four different handguns"

Btw to become a "recreational" shooter all you need to do is complete a 30 hour class to receive your permit to purchase guns.

Yee fucking Haw

your right i didn't do any research on that one I just remember it was one of the media talking points about the incident. (I could have heard it from fox news?)

The thing is though its a near statistical impossibility that your going to be involved in one of these types of shootings so if your 10 times more likely to see it in a lax gun control area its still pretty similar chance as a strict gun control area. Not that we shouldn't be working to reduce this type of thing

To the people that are saying your going to become a slave if we had stricter gun laws.. there's plenty of countries around the world that have strict gun control and it doesn't seem that their citizens freedom is threatened by the government. There are other ways to defend your home/person then guns.

Also note that it doesn't look like Norway is out of control with gun violence tragedy aside...could this be some type of evidence that gun laws are not a huge factor in the rate of gun violence? I will say i definitively like the idea of forcing people that want the responsibility of having a firearm to take a long and serious course on how to use the thing.(maybe even one every year)

America is the last bastion of freedom in the world. Britain already lost their Magna Carta. The entire continents of South America and Africa are shitholes. The rest of the planet from India to Mexico to Korea to China are 3rd world slaves too.
