Do people honestly believe that taking Americans' guns is as simple as passing a law?

No, but we in England struggle to see why you allow guns to be readily purchased and used to shoot children

@MikeGaynor Have fun requiring your ID to buy butter knives 🤣

@MikeGaynor ask King George why, and guns don't shoot children. Psychos do!

@Invisible It's weird that you think that's some sort of comparison. Knives, butter ones or otherwise can be used as weapons so there's no reason children should be permitted to buy them.
MikeGaynor · 36-40, M
@abe182 Do you not think that removing them from sale would reduce the amount of innocent people killed? I know it'll never happen because you all go mad for that kind of flat waving crap, but I don't see why anybody at all needs an assault rifle.

This is gold 😂

@MikeGaynor NOPE I do not believe that at all. And define assault rifle please. Semi automatic or full auto?
MikeGaynor · 36-40, M
@Invisible In all seriousness, why is there an obsession with being able to carry around weapons with you lot?
MikeGaynor · 36-40, M
@abe182 The first part of your reply has confirmed to me that there's no point carrying on this discussion. If you're splitting hairs to that extent to justify one type of lethal gun over another, then we're wasting our time.

@MikeGaynor no it sounds like you don't understand. Taking guns away in America is NOT EVER GONNA HAPPEN.
Invisible · 26-30, M
@MikeGaynor You need to take a good look at all of the innocent people that were slaughtered throughout history because they had no means to protect themselves. I assure you that it vastly outnumbers all of the shooting victims by orders of magnitude.
i play golf. And I’m surgical with my 7 iron if I do say so myself. As soon as I bash someone with that same 7 iron. It becomes a assault 7 iron 😏👍

@MikeGaynor and we in the USA struggle to understand why y'all allow cars to be purchased and used to mow down pedestrians

@Invisible it never ceases to amaze me that these people from other countries want to constantly talk about our gun laws.

Sure we have more killings in America. But our population exceeds these other countries by how much?
Invisible · 26-30, M
@SW-User Two thirds of US gun deaths are suicides. Over half of the remaining number is murder committed by a certain 13% of the population. What you're left with is around 4,000 murders a year in a country of 320M. That's around 1 per 100,000, which is really not bad when you consider we have more guns than people.

@Invisible very true
@Invisible don’t use facts. Sends them crazy 😏

@MikeGaynor be careful, you guys can get arrested and thrown in jail for expressing a thought.

@SW-User They want to talk about our gun laws because it helps them forget about their own lousy lives and how they have to be careful about what they say. And of course who wouldn't want to forget about the muslims taking over.
