Some of you guys support "gun control" (aka banning legally owned guns)? So sad.

Must have lived very comfortable lives to believe a fairy tale like that. Illegal guns are super easy to acquire in almost any state if you know the scumbags. I went to Granite Hills High school in California (one of the schools which had a school shooting in the early 2000's) and despite that putting the school on high alert and our state having some of the strictest gun laws in the country, guns could be bought on school premises even by people not intimately involved in any kind of gang activity. And my point here is that; if it is that easy to obtain them on a school, how easy do you think it is to get them somewhere with less restrictions?
Some people equate gun control with gun elimination, like somehow it will magically make them disappear.

Guns aren't going away. Guns cannot be eliminated from the streets, our towns, our cities, our country. Gun control will make it harder for law-abiding citizens to own them but it won't do a thing to stop criminals from acquiring them. Can't just ban guns and expect them to disappear.

A gun.

And I liked Predator 2 Tradesonred. Sure it wasn't near the same as Arnold's Predator but it had it's own charm.

Prohibition didn't work. War on drugs FAILED. Laws are only followed by good people. Outlawing guns would be laughable to sociopaths. Disarming their victims.

I think its easier to see the negative externalities associated with widespread (legal) gun ownership as opposed to the positive ones. If a kid accidentally shoots himself or a psycho shoots up a church, you can physically count the death tolls.

It's harder to count the deaths and crimes that are prevented, and I'm not talking about that ridiculous 2.5m statistic that the NRA puts out.

Ban all the guns, and people will still have 1000s of guns. It's not a problem that'll go away.

Even in UK cities people convert replica pistols into working weapons despite rigorous controls.

Inmates in prisons construct guns. Yeah, they can be controlled. 8)

I'm not saying I'm pro/anti guns. I'm saying let's not kid ourselves about prohibition/laws.

You cant make this stuff up

"Iowa grants gun permits to the blind

No one questions the legality of the permits, but some officials worry about public safety."

Fuck off Hannity.
Implying I'd hold a vigil for southern garbage.
Trash like his kind are just as bad as the wiggers.

Nope. I'm sorry that very simple logic seems to offend you.
