Guns should be banned.
The argument that guns shouldn't be given to rebels in Syria on the fear that it gets in the hands of terrorists like Al Nusra should also be applied to US population.
Guns should not be allowed to citizens on the fear that criminals (or soon to be criminals) gets their hands on them.

Guns are allowed because government allows it (legislative, judiciary and executive).
Right now executive is trying to change some things about gun rights. If all branches of govt were for removal of gun rights, there wouldn't be guns. The constitution can be changed with a majority (2/3) vote.
Amendments are called amendments because they're changed. Your rights are not God-given, even Christians don't really believe that.
>Everyone should be punished because of the actions of the few

Well Trump is proposing to ban all Muslims from coming into the US and plenty of posters in this board don't disagree.
And just because you propose something, doesn't mean you have to do the most extreme thing. Gasing people is far less worse than banning guns.
There are plenty of people without guns in Japan and Europe. They're living their life just fine. How is that any comparable to gasing people?
>>61002083
Maybe so. I wasn't arguing that it was going to happen anytime soon. The argument I challenge is that your gun rights are inalienable, which is a ridiculous statement.
>>61001923
Either given by God, or if yo prefer, Darwin. Rights exist, irrespective of your desires that they did not. Governments can only either respect and shepherd those rights, or else violate and abuse them. Even if you somehow managed to get the government to use its apparatus to abuse the rights of the citizens, it would not abolish the right to bear arms. That right would still exist, and would rapidly be reasserted by the citizenry.

Fact of the matter is, guns do far more good than harm even in the US. They are used defensively, at minimum, 5 times more than they are used for murder. This number increases to 25 times more when you ignore gang murders.

>>61002650
Do you have a reliable source on those statistics?
And even if what you say is true, the risks of death are far too high compared to other Western nations. It's not a risk worth taken.
The reason why guns are used defensively so much is because there are so many guns allowed to be sold legally in the US. You wouldn't have to use guns defensively so much if there wasn't so much sold to the general populace.
There's also a problem with police forces being so armed but that's another problem.

There are intelligent people who have poor self control. You can have good analysis of the "good" and "bad" and still do the "bad" as a result of illness.
Still, I don't believe they shouldn't get prison. They're not insane (i.e people who don't even know what's right and wrong). Many of those criminals know exactly what's wrong but made the choice. Whether the choice is a result of nurture, nature or free will is irrelevant. Prisons should still be their new home. But I don't think you disagree on that point.

Of course it can be infringed but many people don't think they should be.
Could be infringed and should be infringed are different things. The people I'm arguing against believe those rights shouldn't be infringed because they're not supposed to. I'm arguing that those rights are inherently written to be infringed by a government with the right legal process.

.22LR is more lethal than people give it credit for. a THR poster verified this, putting rounds of a reasonably good manufacture of .22LR clean through a frozen turkey at various ranges between 100 and 300 yards. he even repeated the experiment with soaked and windchill-frozen blue jeans wrapped around the turkey, sufficient penetration was still achieved in most cases.
but! it doesn't really take niggers out of the fight. with all those piddling little bullets that start with .2 you can be mortally wounded and just keep on going, which means you are still a threat to the owner of that poodle-shooter. if the .22LR is not underestimated, then the .223 is completely overrated.

well, it's like this. in norway you're allowed to have a maximum of three rounds in your magazine when hunting with a rifle, but it is legal to buy magazines with any capacity. so 30 round mags are legal to purchase. i believe the only restriction is for shotguns, where only 5 rounds is max for those types of magazines.

The government does NOT give us the right to defend ourselves. Whether or not you believe in a God, it is a natural right of people to defend themselves against lawlessness.
This is true around the world.
It just so happens that many governments are so afraid of their own citizens that they strip that right from them.
That is why wording was included in our Supreme Law of the Land that prevents our government from taking that right from us.
I only have two 30 round clips loaded at a time. One ready to go and the other close by. If I miss the intruder breaking in my home, I have 59 bullets left to try. If somehow those miss, I have a .40 in the night stans with 2 12 round clips. If I get coerced outside by the intruder I have a .45 in the console of my car with a 8 round clip ready to go and another 12 rounder.

If you think you'd get 2/3rds of the public to vote to disarm themselves, you'd have your head firmly up your ass to insulate yourself from the northern snows.
Even with every branch of government saying "NO GUNZ", they'd have to get it voted through by the public, and 1) you aren't getting that in state governments, because gun rights and 2) there's nearly a third of the US population that own guns, never mind people like me who don't have one but support gun rights.
The only way they'd get national gun removal is literally taking them from cold, dead hands, as if it got to the point of mass confiscations you'd see another American Civil War.
>>61005632
Nah. The truth is, politicians are not that smart. In fact, very few people could actually be considered smart.
So, by being against gun ownership, they somehow look like pure little angels who just want people all to hug each other and stop fighting. That's good PR, so they do that. It has become PROFITABLE to be anti-gun.
The government no longer needs to be afraid of the people when the people are all split into so many tiny groups that there is no cohesion whatsoever and they'd never succeed in doing anything against the government anyway.
I mean, just look at /pol/. People are divided through so many STUPID positions they hold that they'd never actually work together.
Sure, if they have weapons it'd be tough for the government to round them up and put them in camps, but since that would never be lucrative it's not like the government would ever do that, either.
>>61005895
That's impressive. I limit the amount I have because I can just go outside and target practice for the fun of it and that gets pretty expensive. I've been using "amend2" magazines. So far so good though. Everyone always recommends magpul, I may order one just to see what the hype is about.
>>61004032
So you don't really have any higher than thou authority you can appeal too. Hence, those rights are not god given.

It's not an intelligent decision. It's an emotional one. A strong devotion of some holy idea that guns are the center of American values and freedom. People are devoted to guns because it's culture. But not all cultures are equal or and not all aspects of one culture should be free to not be criticized.

This is a typical argument against Gun control in the US. What people don't realize is that the surrounding areas of Chicago and states have much more lax laws on gun control. So a lot of guns make their way into Chicago from outside.

No. What humanist will argue is that there are rights (human rights as they will say) which are universal and should apply to everyone.
Where do they get those rights from? What authority do those rights have?
Well, this is where the idea that rights (as in law) and morals are the different becomes ridiculous stance to take if you're a secular humanist. Basically, the only way for their argument to make sense is to argue that morality is objective (deontology is an example of objective morality) and that laws are an application of morals. They can be change because humans aren't perfect and try to apply those mores as best as they can.

You realize that a study of gun crime in chicago found that 99% of all the guns gotten in gun crime were illegally acquired, not registered, nor legally purchased right?

>He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied.
—Gospel of Luke 22:36-38, NIV
Jesus, according to the New Testatement, did this to fulfill a prophecy where he would be apprehended as a result
He didn't tell his disciples to get swords for self defense. Two swords aren't enough for that. They're enough for the authorities to brand him as the leader of brigands.
That was the prophecy.

>>61006700
Of course they're illegally acquired since they go against Chicago's gun laws.
The point is that those guns, while being illegal in Chicago, where legally acquired at some point in time in other parts of the region ( a state next to Illinois or some parts of Illinois where gun laws are much more lax)

No thats not why, read it again
illegally acquired means they didn't go fill out a form in any way or shape or form. which means they did a private sale from an illegal seller. not registered in any neighboring state since they all need registration
illegally purchased means they didn't buy it from an FFL

They aren't as stated above.
The majority of people can disagree, which makes your inalienable rights not so inalienable after all.
You're not explaining what self defense is. It's an incredibly vague term. Some redneck can very well claim that shooting a cop is his god given right to defend himself even if he was going against the law because "self defence" is a higher right than obeying some law like the law against carjacking. He'd be wrong of course, but self defense doesn't mean much on its own.

Those guns were illegally acquired after they were legally acquired by someone.
If I buy a gun at a gun show in Indiana and I cross the border of Illonois, go to Chicago and sell it to someone (or give it for free), what I did in Chicago would be illegal. But buying the gun in Indiana at the gun show was legal.
Again, read what I previously stated. At some point in time, the purchase of many of those guns in Chicago were in fact legal. If gun rights of sales in Indiana, Iowa and all other states were not so lax, there wouldn't be as much guns in Chicago. Of course, because of the crime and gang culture, Chicago would still be the worst but it wouldn't be as bad.
>>61008077
No. Many of those guns they were bought legally in the US, transported illegally over to Canada and sold illegally (or given illegally) to people in Canada.

As the Supreme Court heard arguments for and against the Chicago, IL Gun Ban, this man offered you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.
Interesting take and one you don't hear much. Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter.
"The Gun Is Civilization" By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception.
Reason or force, that's it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunken guys with baseball bats.
The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

There are always different measures to take when one's life is in danger than using guns.
Albeit, I'd agree that some confrontations could warrant the use of guns for self defense (hence why cops are allowed to have guns) that doesn't mean everyone should have guns.
The argument of owning a gun if you live in the middle of nowhere could have some merit. But that doesn't mean it's the same realities for everyone.
Introducing guns in an area of the country just because of anomalies (like terrorist attacks) does more harm than good.
You don't burn a house down just because there are deadly spiders in there.
Gun rights in most cases of self defense are an extreme solution that creates more trouble than solves.

They're not allowed to own armed tanks with ammunition.
The conversation is about self defense. An unarmed tank is useless in that regards.
You should read more about context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_(language_use)
>What's ultimately your point?
I'm asking you why aren't people allowed to have those military hardware in the context of self defense.
You're avoiding the question because it shows an obvious flaw in your thinking but you're too idiotic to see.
It shows that your fanatic devotion to guns are not about self defense. If it was, why not own an armed tank or at the very least believe that citizens should be allowed to have.
The question ultilmately revels how insane your position is. You wouldn't mind an America where civilians (and as a result of realities criminals) can have armed tanks and jets.
You also failed to explain how those rights are inalienable.

They're okay. If you're going to modify an SKS, at least in Canada, I'd recommend a magwell adapter that lets you load 10-round XCR pistol magazines. The final cost once you've got the adapter installed and everything will be around $5-600, but it still cheaper or the same as any other non-restricted semi auto centerfire on the Canadian market that can get 10 rounders.

Murder rates are low in rural areas because people are closer to others there. They're not as densely populated as urban areas, hence less crimes.
>inb4 but per capita!
Per capita doesn't take into account of the reality of density. The more densily populated an area is, the more strangers they are to others.
You're not seriously going to argue that an area where there are only 50 people living with 100 guns per person is less violent than others because they have more guns. They could have less guns, and they'd also be less violence. The reason why there's less violence in both cases is because people are closer to others there.

>Not really, the only thing that's guarenteed to stop somebody who's decided your life is forfeit is their death or maiming, and the only way to guarentee that in any circumstance is a gun.
And if you kill them, someone will want to avenge them. Your life will always be endagered because you use violence.
Instead, this is why societies have law and order. So people don't have to take measures into their own hand. This reduces instances of revenge.
This notion was argued by ancient Greek philosophers and is a cornerstone of Western civilizations (and any other civilizations for that matter).
The attitude of taking things in your own hand is turning your country into chaos much more so than order. Of course, you're not a third world country so things aren't so bad. But if you were also a third world country, things would be much worse with those lax gun rights.
