Guns are banned, people still died.

Yeah it isn't an issue of guns at all. People who want to commit crimes, commit crimes. People who want to kill someone, kill someone.

Because no one ever accidentally shot anyone *cough* Cheney *cough*.

And even if they did, just look at all those statistics on people accidentally getting knifed to death; it's totally the same thing.

Totally; just like guns they serve no useful purpose [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seriously though, I'm not anti-gun ownership in America. Like I said, the cat is already out of the bag here. Plus some idiotic judicial interpretation of our constitution (that completed ignored the "a well regulated militia" part of the 2nd amendment) has ensured that even if we wanted to we could never put the cat back in the bag.

Also, my father-in-law sells gun lockers and goes hunting like every other week, so if I was anti-gun ownership family get-togethers would be VERY awkward [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But at the same time, if you look at the statistics of countries that didn't let the cat out of the bag, it's plainly obvious that they have a lot few gun deaths per capita. So, in those countries I'm absolutely in favor of gun prohibition: it's just indisputable that their gun laws have saved thousands of lives (and saved many more people from lifelong injuries).

Come live where I live, and then tell me a gun serves no purpose. You'd learn the quick way.

Heh, I think you know what I meant, but even so I get your point. I'd argue though that whatever problem you have that a gun would solve could instead by a police force that actually does their damn job.

I think for the most part cops respond as fast as they can, but even the best and fastest police force in the world won't always get there in time to save the frantic and helpless 911 caller. Take the lady in this news story, for example. Turns out, she wasn't so helpless after all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Arizona Woman Shoots Intruder

"They've tried my front door, my front door, and now they're trying to break in my back gate…," Cynthia tells the 911 operator at one point. "I have a gun in my hands. I'm terrified."

Later, "Somebody is on my back porch." And then, "Please help me, please!" as the operator assures her that help is on the way.

"They're coming out as fast as they can," the operator says. "Have you heard any voices?"

Cynthia: "Hurry, hurry! They're coming in right now, please, please, please!

As it turns out, the police weren't coming quickly enough. Lewis broke into the bathroom and started attacking Cynthia. So she shot him.

Lewis: "Ow! (Expletive.) What was that? What was that? What was that? (Expletive) did you do?"

Her answer was classic. "Did you think you could beat me half to death?"

Lewis: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

Cynthia: "You bet you're sorry you nasty thing."

^^^LOL, I love that last part... Maybe next time that piece of shit will think twice before breaking into houses and attacking people.

I'm fine with not banning guns I'm not fine with not banning air 15s. You don't need them.

Six round magazine max. Be reasonable.

How could you or the government possibly know what I "need"?
