Can someone explain to me clearly and without the bullshit why they believe an outright ban on guns would be a good idea?

I don't want to argue the whole "They're dangerous for people to have anon" because that's opening up the whole can of worms where I could just as easily rig explosives with shrapnel packs of BB's to rip apart a fair few people, or use other projectiles such as compound bows for harming people in rural areas.

I just want to know this, and if you've shot a gun before more than the typical "I shot a .22 at the range when I was 10" thing.
>>
there is no ban on guns at the moment and 50 people died. Why didn't anyone shoot the guy who killed 50 people? Why didn't 50 people who had the right to carry guns protect themselves?
>>
>>689523702
That bomb is good for one use and will be effective over a fairly small range. And if you think you can kill nearly as many people with a bow as you can a gun in the same period, you've never shot either.
>>
>>689523702
Fuck banning guns.

The cartoon that you posted actually hits the nail on the head.
It is not about availability, it is about demand.

Banning them will do nothing if people still want them. If they are wanted, they will be acquired.


The problem is that so many people want a gun.
Stop people from wanting to shoot each other and you will solve gun crime.


Same thing in our country, too. If you want one, you can get one. But through decades of education and having a rather reasonable populous in general, the demand for tools to kill with will never be present.

So, sort your shit out, United States. You can keep the guns, just do something about all the fucking idiots.
>>
>>689523702
>shot a gun
Nope, never shot a gun, fired a couple tho.
166 mass shootings from 2000 to 2014, 133 of them in the USA. The problem is a combination of people having access to really high powered weapons everywhere and the culture of vengefulness and anger.
There's no solution, the USA has been degrading into a place where this is normal for years now.
I remember the dismay when it was reported a 2 year old got shot in the head in crossfire during a gun fight in LA. That was in 1992, it was all over before most of you were born.

You seriously think Aussies just 'don't want guns'?
>>
>>689524963
Nope. Not an access issue. You could give guns away in some countries and have no change in gun related deaths.

The problem is not guns, it is your society.
Sort that out.

>>
>>689525414
Now imagine if whole USA was a "Gun free zone"
>>
The current problem the US has with guns is the sheer amount of them and how easily a mentally unstable person can get their hands on one.
A ban would not be a good solution anymore. It would only spark massive black markets.

Imagine if there never were guns in the US, the situation would be quite different.
>>
>>689525486
Do you not get that tgevpeople buying guns for $200-$1000 wouldn't be able to afford their inflated black market pricing? Okay fine, the extremely wealthy and certain organized crime syndicates sure. But the average dipshit shooter won't be shooting up anything if the gun he needs costs $35,000 or higher and black market involvement.
>>
>>689524963
Weird that prior to 2000 we only had one or two mass shootings per year

Weird that mass shootings and media coverage of them seem to align with politician agenda

>>
>>689525924
I can build a gun out of pipes, a $20 drill and some ammo, take away my machined ammo and I can still build a blunderbuss. I would, too.

>>
>>689525493
People would be getting wounded much more often. The rate of gun crime goes down and other crime rises to compensate.
>>
>>689525924
No, I could build a fairly effective weapon for far less than that.
But I don't need a gun, so I don't.


Just saying that it is an option that is pretty much ignored by most people, because they don't want or need one.


The point is that it is a mindset thing. America needs to sort out its society to stop the killings, not just ban guns.

Policy should be evidence based. In Australia following a mass shooting of 35 people, tough gun control laws were brought in. You can still have firearms if you are a member of a sporting shooters association, or a farmer. But you can't have automatic or semi-automatic weapons.

Another side to it is that greater equality of societies correlates with lower rates of violent crime. Australia is a more equal society with universal healthcare, free education and a robust social security safety net. Care for the mentally ill is important.

Less marginalisation of minorities is a factor. Australia has a partially government funded broadcasting network called the Special Broadcasting Service which broadcasts TV and radio programs in many different languages. It's really only in small, backward communities where racism is commonplace.
>>
>>689523702
How about simply because it works very well for the rest of the developed world that has done it. And no, I am not interested in your really badly manipulated statistics on your infographic made by the NRA. Guns make it a whole lot easier to kill people, accidentally on purpose, whatever. They are machines of death. That is literally what they are for. Killing.
>>
>>689527252
Yeah. They're made for killing. They're made for killing people who want to take away your rights. Such as criminals, and politicians. And anti-gun advocates.
Our constitution isn't like the rest of the world. It doesn't grant rights, it recognizes the rights we grant ourselves, using our guns. Rights don't come from ink on paper, they come from blood and bullets.
You can't take our guns, because you can't take our rights, because we say you can't, with our guns.

I think the 2nd amendment is moot. Even if American gun owners did organise themselves into militia, they could not withstand the force of their own military which is under the control of the government.

The "we need our guns to protect ourselves from despotic government" argument doesn't hold water.

If the American people aren't yet convinced that their government is despotic, they do not deserve guns or any other "rights" beyond the rights of the child.

In germany we had some right-wing terrorist group called "NSU" the last years, the reason why they werent able to do more harm than killing a couple of sandniggers was, because its not easy to get a gun in germany, whats so complicated to understand? They actually killed a policeofficer with his own gun in order to steal it, for that sole reason.
What i am trying to say here is :no guns or restricted distribution----> little possibility of acquiring one.
Whoever thinks you go to the dealer at the corner and get a gun watched too many action movies.
I see why people think illogically about things that became part of the identity, for example in germany we have no speedlimit on some highways, which is literally impossible to justify.
Its the same on a smaller scale, lower speed=less deaths in traffic, less guns available=less deaths by guns.
People tend to defend their culture, but its no real use arguing about these things if someone isnt even willing to accept simple logic or look at some stats.
The fact that someone thinks, theres nothing wrong with being able to acquire assaultrifles or semiautomatics easily, baffles me.
If you have a bad day in another 1st world country you maybe stab someone or beat someone up, in the US you can literally get an assoult rifle and do a massshooting

>>689523702
I am ex army, in the UK, so I have shot a fair few weapons. The statistics are clear - fewer guns, fewer shootings. In the Uk we have very strict gun control, and no cases of toddlers killing themselves or their friends or parents. very few suicides, very few domestic murders, very few murders at all. very few killings during robberies or other crimes. no road rage shootings (althought he odd beating up) no mass shootings, thankfully, for decades. We might have one in the future, sure. a determined terrorist may do it. But that is always the case. We used to have bombings - IRA that sort of thing, but they were also rare. Determined bad guys will kill people - but you do not have to make it easy. You have flooded your country with army grade weapons - I do not know how you will ever get it clean again - it was a short sighted money grabbing opportunity combned with a short sighted Republican political move - promote fear adn distrust of the government. bad can of worms to open. but a gun ban is the only way you will ever get a civilised country back . American now is third world in terms of civil society, civil rights and health care - you guys need to do something.

I would normally say UK violent crime, but the common response is that they judge violent crime differently.
Australia had a similar increase in home invasions following their gun control laws.
I could find charts, but i'm lazy. It's not even really a question of how much crime, it's a matter of the quality of crime that your nation deals with. I'd just rather have more dead from guns and a government that lays off my dick, than beat up people and an overly oppressive government. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Is it possible for a right wing terroristgroup with strong connections to the underworld to acquire a handgun in europe? - obviously, but only after killing a german policeofficer, which clearly was not their targeted group of victims.
Is it possible for any random angry cunt to kill 50 people? only with excessive planning and months of organisation,bombbuilding etc

americans have the weird ideology that they automatically become rambo if they have a gun, and that it would have gone differently if they had a gun

the reality is no one needs an assault rifle >>but it's ma constitutional right to bear arms

this is were america has gone wrong for years

if you weren't a warmongering nation that made guns, assault rifles and other deadly shit you wouldn't be such a bad bunch of lads

Countries laws are only as strong as their weakest link. the EU with its open borders and US with each state having different laws allow people to get shit through the border. When the entire continent has banned weapons of war not just hunting/defence you just don't get massacres on anywhere near the same scale if at all. The last terrorist we had in Australia only had a shotgun and simply couldn't have ever killed 50 people.

I understand you guys want to keep your toys but you keep crying and praying for victims every time this shit happens then do absolutely nothing to fix it. Usually the smoke hasn't cleared the gun barrel before 'muricans are defending their guns.

your face when a country of 70 million people has two gun deaths a year. so multiply that up - if you have the maths skills - and get just about nine people per 320 million.

I'll take "what is a soft target for $500".

When you can have assault rifles legally right outside a "gun free zone" it's only going to keep out the law abiding citizens.

People won't attack gun conventions and trump rallies because theres 100 rambo's just waiting for the excuse. They attack schools, churches, clubs anywhere they can do the most damage.

The US's horrible health system and wage disparity means theres so many people out there broke or mentally Ill with nothing to lose then they get a facebook message from an Isis recruiter and get a reason to live.

>If the American people aren't yet convinced that their government is despotic...

Well here's the thing: The government is the the people. That's what democracy is all about. So the only logical conclusion must be that the americans think themselves of despots and possibly totalitarian. And completely nuts. And I agree with that.

You can't ban guns in america anymore. It's too late. They've been going into the wrong direction for 40 years or so now. Their society and culture is beyond fucked up in that regard and it will take a lot of work to bring it back, if it's even possible at all.
>>
It's a society thing. America is a tough and unforgiving place to live if the chips don't fall your way. Like if you're born black, or poor. And you have a government that is so compromised by interest groups who squeeze the working and middle classes to the brink so that they cannot survive without taking second or third jobs. People are stressed. They get angry and desperate and are pushed to the limit and react. Guns are available and single shootings are common. We all give Canadians shit because they're considered too nice. But maybe there's something in that. Although gun ownership is high per capita (the US has 90 guns per 100 people. Canada has 31 guns per 100) the rate of gun homicides is proportionately high in the US. In 2011 11,000 in the US compared with 158 in Canada. How out of whack is that? But also consider this: nearly all of the MASS shootings in the last 30 years have been caused by angry or disturbed white males. Only one has been by a woman. Solution: either chill the fuck out and smoke more weed, move to just about any other country in the western world, or use your vote to oust your current, corrupted leaders. Americans are understanding that last choice. This is why Sanders and Trump have done so well.

Nobody except the most regressive liberals believe in an outright ban on guns. Nobody. Not Hillary. Not Obama. Everybody with any common sense has given up on the notion that we will ever outright ban guns.

What most democrats want to do is to expand background checks, have a way to prevent certain individuals (such as in this case) to not be able to purchase guns. Additionally they want to ban certain types of guns (AR being the most widely brought up) and close certain loopholes such as in the case of gun shows.

Honestly, I support 3 of the 4, the only reason I don't fully support AR ban is because they are really not any more deadly then similar guns and the wording is very poor. Many non-AR guns can be easily modified.

Now with that being said, this conversation took place less then two weeks before what happened in Orlando.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlgMOmoGI-A

To sum it up for those that don't want to watch a 1min30sec video....A gunstore owners asks why we can't have common sense gun laws. He says we can't because everytime any type of common sense law comes up for discussion the NRA incites everyone to think its a law to ban guns. Even if its not. Additionally he mentions that there are people on terrorist watch lists he can not prevent from buying guns - he can prevent them from getting on a plane but not buying a gun. We already know that the person in Orlando was being investigated and is likely a person that could have on a ban list for buying guns - again I said COULD, I don't have any dream that he could not have got them in another fashion but babysteps...

The term assault rifle is generally attributed to Adolf Hitler, who for propaganda purposes used the German word "Sturmgewehr" (which translates to "assault rifle"), as the new name for the MP43, subsequently known as the Sturmgewehr 44 or StG 44.[8][12][13][14][15][16] Other sources dispute that Hitler had much to do with coining the new name besides signing the production order.[17] The StG 44 is generally considered the first selective fire military rifle to popularize the assault rifle concept. Today, the term assault rifle is used to define firearms sharing the same basic characteristics as the StG 44.[citation needed]

In a strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle:[2][3][4]

It must be an individual weapon
It must be capable of selective fire
It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle
Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine[5]
And it should have an effective range of at least 300 metres (330 yards)

Nothing anyone has proposed is common sense. Trying to lower round counts and force us to cannibalize our AR's is NOT common sense. It's all based on misplaced blame and fear.

Same with trying to make private sales harder, I live in Idaho, where I could sell a SCAR at a yardsale for $15 if I wanted. Look at that state, third highest gun ownership rate in the u.s., and yet is still in the top 10 for lowest violent crime.

Truth is, the states with looser gun laws are the ones with less crime, we don't need any of the "common sense" bullshit that's designed to slowly chip away at our rights.

Man, if according to that comic, buying with ease, owning and carrying several fire arms, including some of greater military use are the crumbs left out of a satisfying cake... what was the cake at the beginning? Were you allowed, nay, required to carry several bazookas and machineguns at the same time?

Nevertheless, for the sake of the argument, let's say that guns are not the problem. Then what is? Why does America have a violent shooting like every other week? Note that the eye-rollingly cliche answer of "immigrants!1!!!!1111!" will get you laughed out of the argument as US is not the only nation with a high number of immigrants legal or otherwise.
>>
>>689543577

This is exactly the point the other poster was trying to make.

>It must be capable of selective fire

This means multiple shots with a single pull of the trigger. The majority of civilan owned firearms are semiautomatic meaning a single round is fired for every pull of the trigger.

>>689544983
Actually yes, in the beginning there were virtually no restrictions.

As for what's the problem, our absolutely shit mental health system, and society stigmatizing the idea of people with mental problems seeking help. Have depression or thoughts of killing? Better not tell anyone or your life is fucking ruined. So people with problems get shunned until they feel like they don't even want or could get help so they take it out on whoever pisses them off the most, that's what.

Shootings are just the flavor of the country, everywhere else they use knives or explosives or clubs, or anything else.

Their media doesn't sensationalize it for an agenda, it's like how people think there's more degeneracy and stupid people now when there's not, you just notice them more now because the internet gives them a voice. Same concept with guns.

Not only that but people go after the guns used the least out of all, more people are killed yearly by hands and feet than rifles.

Also this
A selective-fire firearm has at least two firearm modes, which are activated by means of a selector which varies depending on the weapon's design. Some selective-fire weapons have burst fire mechanisms to limit the maximum number of shots fired automatically in this mode. The most common limits are two or three rounds per trigger pull. Fully automatic fire refers to the ability for a weapon to fire continuously until the feeding mechanism is either emptied or the trigger is released. Semi-automatic refers to the ability to fire one round per trigger pull.

The presence of selective-fire modes on firearms permits more efficient use of rounds to be fired for specific needs, versus having a single mode of operation, such as fully automatic, thereby conserving ammunition while maximizing on-target accuracy and effectiveness. This capability is most commonly found on assault rifles and military weapons of the 20th and 21st centuries.

People will always kill people no matter what. But in the US crazy people with no connections can by a high power assult rifle with no issues.

>>
>>689544085
What do you consider common sense then? Are you fine with continuing to allow people who are unstable the right to buy guns?

The problem I have with your Idaho argument is simple. Gun's don't cause violence. Conflict causes violence. So pointing to a state that is not very population dense to make the case I don't feel makes any case. That state would have a low crime rate with or without guns just as a state like California or NY would have a high crime rate with or without guns. But the guns violence magnifies the problem that exists.

I am all for getting to the root of those problems and trying to fix the violence at its source. But that doesn't mean I still would not agree that we can regulate certain items better.

On that note, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama have some of the highest gun related crime rates. The three states with the least restrictive gun laws are Louisiana, Mississippi, & Arizona. So for every Idaho there is also two Louisiana and Mississippi's.

See, that's the /actual/ problem with unregulated guns. Sure, every country has their own violence issues, but when you can only get a knife or a club, you cannot mow down 50 people before being taken down unless you are fucking batman. And the fact that you know that you cannot take that much people with you is in and out of itself a good demotivator for all the bitter or mentally-ill people that in America would end as shooters. There's almost no point.

Common sense is running campaigns on how to ask your kids if they're having problems in life, and promoting mental help centers instead of labeling anyone with something worse than ADHD as a risk to society and a crazy.

Start labeling mental help shaming in the same light we put bullying or gay bashing. Making sure people in general just ask how someone's doing more often, whether family, or a stranger noticing someone having a bad day. The solution to this is to work towards actually being decent fucking human beings.

To get rid of accidents reinstate optional firearms courses in high schools, encourage parents to take their kids shooting when they roll over to their early teens and to teach them proper handling and safety. Remove the fear of guns early by showing them that guns are like any other potentially dangerous object. You wouldn't mishandle a chainsaw would you? So don't mishandle a gun.

Beyond that you really only have gangs which would be taken care of in the original bit about running campaigns about talking to your kids, if they feel loved and cared about at home they wont feel the need for the "family" a gang provides.

I would support all of those, but I would also state that it still doesn't fix all of the issues. Too many people are shitty people. While it helps some there are still too many shitty people out there.

I would also state that in two of the most recent cases we are talking about an ideology that would ignore all of that. They simply want to destroy us. So all the good those things you suggested will do, it wouldn't eliminate those forces we cant influence. Shouldn't we then do our best to keep guns out of the hands of those individuals?

I would also state that one huge correlation among violence crime states is poverty rates. This is your average everyday "Chicago Weekend" violence that we are basically immune to at this point. While your points would help reduce some of these "mass" shootings it doesn't address the everyday violence. And that is really the problem we have. These mass shootings are tragic because its a sucker punch to the gut. But the real problem is the constant beating that is the real issue.
>>
>>689523702
People argue that a larger number of mass murders happen because of how easy it is. So the arguement goes x amount of people want to make a massacre, but some of x are only willing to put in a medicore amount of work to enact a massacre. What you do when you outlaw guns and assault rifles in particular is you set the bar a little higher. Now if everyone were willing and trained to shoot a pistol this wouldn´t be a problem since there would be much more good guys with pistols than there would be bad guys with assault rifles.

They are also one of the most xenophobic nations on the planet and they tend to deal with thier problems through suicide rather than anger.

Alright dipshits, here's your solution to the gun deaths in the US: outlaw handguns.

WOOAAHH controversial idea, I know, but the VAST majority (orders of magnitude larger) of gun deaths and injuries in the US each year are due to handguns, not high powered rifles (or rifles of any kind for that matter). This is due in large part to the fact that they're very concealable. You essentially have no idea when talking to a person, or walking past them on the street, whether or not they're carrying a handgun on them.

Yes, we will still have mass shootings like the ones in Orlando, Sandy Hook, VT etc. but that's the price we'll have to pay for freedums and pertecting urselves frum the gervunment. The reality is, that with outlawing the production of handguns and instituting a buyback program for the ones already out there, we could drastically reduce the number of gun related incidents in this country.

All the legit hunters and the fucking tinfoils could still own their assault rifles, they could even walk around the streets with them if they wanted, but you'd fucking know if a person was carrying a gun and I'll bet you'd act a lot differently toward them. There would be no escalation of a situation without your not knowing that the other party was packing heat.

Win-win-win

End of discussion.

Everyday violence will always happen, the mass shootings are the only problem we have that people are so up in arms about. Doesn't matter if it's with guns or not, there will always be the distressed co-worker, or the abusive husband, or Jamal who cant afford his liquor. These crimes happen in every other country at about the same rate, the only difference here is everyone makes a big deal because it's with guns. Most of which are pistols not rifles of any kind like the AR-15 people so badly want to ban. There's not a whole lot you can do about those besides look for warnings and have well trained law abiding citizens to hopefully resolve it.

Which by the way many MANY more situations where a gun comes out wind up resolved without it being used. Just having them is almost always enough to stop petty crimes, no one wants to die over $200 in a cash register.

I'm honestly all for peaceful resolutions, I never ever want to have to use a gun on anyone else and this feeling is almost universal I'd imagine but I'd like to have the option of a level playing field if someone else doesn't feel the same towards me or anyone else. Guns are purely a hobby first for me honestly, it's like cars, both are dangerous when in the hands of someone with bad intentions or idiocy.

I said in the post that it doesn't, dipshit. We'll still have mass murders, but the actual number of gun deaths in the country will plummet.
