Funny cartoon, but let's be serious here. Firearms are clearly a problem in the US. 70% of homicides involved firearms. 70% of those were using pistols ( https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/uc..._2008-2012.xls ), so it would be less invasive and more effective to ban pistols than rifles, shotguns, etc.

The problem with banning pistols is it is rather invasive to the general population. Around 40% of US households own firearms and a third of the 300 million firearms in the US are pistols. Black men are only 6% of the population yet commit half of the homocides ( https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/uc...ender_2013.xls, https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/uc...-homicide-data ). So if we simply ban this 6% of the population from owning firearms, we'd reduce homocides by nearly 50%! Don't even need background checks.

Man this guy deserves a requote as well Big J.

Proud of the dunks r00t and co. are hitting.

If guns themselves are the real problem, then the people who own the most guns would be responsible for the most gun violence.

But that's not the case.

So stop talking about taking away guns like that would really fix things.

Would there be less gun violence if there were no guns? Of course. But why stop there? There would be no violence at all if we chained everyone in the world to a wall. Let's just ignore the real reason for people using tools improperly and strip liberties away instead of fixing the reasons why people use tools improperly!


Like... ask any decent parent. If their one kid decided to hit his sibling with a baseball when he got mad... would the parents pull the kid out of his little league? Would they throw away every baseball and other spherical object in the house? After all, the kid doesn't need balls to play with, and when he throws those instead of just slapping his sibling it can cause more harm.

Fuck no. The parents address the real issue, the poor judgment to be violent towards the sibling. They teach he kid to deal with frustration in different, less violent ways and/or they look for the reason why he got upset in the first place and try to fix that.


Don't take away guns. Fix the reasons why people feel the need to use guns improperly.

I dunno about that, last night we were awaken to a mutiny, all of my firearms rose up and I had to give them all hugs or else they were going to shoot me and my GF.

Even if you were an American citizen, you'd still be too poor to afford one.
