The Gun Control Thread

[ELVIS]

I'm not saying arm everyone...

I'm saying roll back all of the anti-gun legislation and let law-abiding citizens carry what ever firearm they like anywhere they like...

Let schools hire armed security if they feel it necessary to do so...

Go to the French Quarter in New Orleans where nearly every T-shirt shop has an armed off-duty police officer looking you in the eye...

So, schools are going to pay for that how? Most can't fucking afford paper because funding from education is going away...but now we are going to hire an armed education force?

And there you have it. A perfect example of in-fucking-sanity.

Free up some federal funds that are being wasted on predator drones that kill children, or something...

Just don't involve the fucking TSA !!

Armed security? Are you aiming for society that resembles South Africa? Instead of evening the odds by arming everybody, why not go the other way and disarm everybody?

Sure, I know your next argument is gonna be that criminals will find a way to get weapons, but criminals in most cases go after other criminsls. It regulates itself :-)

Why is that insane ??

To have a possible armed criminal think twice before robbing a store and killing the owner ??

How are you going to disarm a criminal ??

More guns = more gun violence.

As I wrote earlier, criminals mostly go after other criminals. Self-sanitation :-) Here we have many armed criminals, and many shootings (for a small country), but I have never heard that an innocent person has been a victim. At least not in my town, and we have MANY shootings.

And if you make guns illegal, it's easier to put criminals behind bars.

[ELVIS]

It's already illegal for a criminal to have a gun...

I at first envisioned an unarmed 14 year old kid stealing a T-shirt, making a run for it and ending up with a hole in the back of his head.

You see, this is why it's good to discuss this sort of thing. Different possibilities require different solutions. It's complicated and I certainly don't have the answer.

And so the racist trailer trash Elvis shows his true colors once again.

You add nothing to the conversation with your venomous attitude. Please stay on topic and try to argue the point of this thread. Thank you!
