Face it, the U.S. was a whole lot safer when everyone had guns

Who knows what it would be like to have even more idiots in United States than we have now, to own a firearm.

Well, I see the point of banning bullets: certainly eventually existing stocks will run out, and producing them illegally would be more expensive so there would be less of them. But they'd still be around, so repeating what Pekka said, this way criminals would still get bullets but regular citizens wouldn't.

Respectable citizens will probably want them too. (Well, it depends on if you can call Southern huntin' hicks respectable )

The counter argument to that is, when everybody has guns, criminals will upgrade to assault rifles.

They already do so whenever they can afford it and/or put their hands on them.

I am against the banning of guns, but I am for STRICT gun regulations. Require the guns to have features so only the owner can use it.

BTW: Minnesota is the only place in the US where a person is a member of the Sierra Club and the NRA at the same time.

you just naturally assume I'm white?

now who's the racist? I know many black men who enjoy guns.

btw guns can be banned successfully.

The solution is have the goverment perform door to door searches and remove all guns. This would eliminate crime from our society

well I won't deny there will be millions of deaths if everyone had a gun.

But once that bloodbath is overwith. Things should be very peaceful

I do think we need better background checks.

In our state we have a criminal background check.

But currently insane people can still get guns if they have no criminal record.

Just the other day a guy who had mental problems for 8 years shot and killed mexican in my city. He also shot a cop between the eyes! And the cop survived with no serious injuries!! It was only a .22 caliber

They are calling it a hate crime.

First of all can a black man commit a hate crime against a mexican? I thought hate crimes only applied to whites .

And second, can an insane person be capable of a hate crime?

Yeah great plan. Dead ppl. dont shoot at each other... hmmm ... what will the US do with all the free property once the smoke fades? ...

Look at the 19th century. Crime was almost non-existant.

Have you seen Gangs of New York?

Crime has been with us since the days of Ancient Rome. Rome itself never had a police force and the army was outlawed from entering the city limits. It was a haven for some the same kind of wretched scum we see in today's metropoli.

gangs of new york seemed overly violent.

I have trouble believing things were that bad in a civilized city like New York.

And....? Next time say somehting that means something.

You'd have to do two things.
1) Lose some of your arrogance
2) Work on your comprehension skills

I see neither happening.

And Dissident, you're funny as hell.

Civilized, like NY.

As if Texas was ever civilized -- isn't it still a backwater province of roving white barbarians??

Or grenade launchers.
