Cars kill people. Ban cars? No. Require liability insurance for guns.

No, but liability insurance on guns, like cars, might work out very well. I imagine the liability insurance on a 22 or a hunting rifle would be peanuts compared to the liability insurance on an assault rifle which would probably be prohibitive. Let the free markets decide.

Ban people owning guns. Hand in all guns to the authorities and destroy them. The Americans I have met are lovely people and I lived there for months- yet there is this crazy law from hundreds of years ago that encourages tens of thousands of murders every year. Its archaic and should be stopped to bring the US in line with civilised nations.
Now I'll wait for the gun slingers to hate me!

@HarrietteSpeedy that might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

And those authorities would NEVER use those arms to stomp on the now helpless population...

[@HarrietteSpe are you still upset about what we did in 1777?i know from reading that only the rich in your country(kingdom) can go hunting.we have a thing called freedom here and your country will never take it away.i love to hunt but i do have a right to protect my self and my family.

@beaglehunter Not sure what a long gone colonial war has to do with the murder of hundreds of children, but if you put hunting before kids' lives, well, that shows your morality. My country has no intention of taking away your freedom but we do wish you'd mature a little. We like you!

@HarrietteSpeedy I totally distrust totalitarians thirst for power and control. And mediocre, unethical people gravitate to unearned power

@MrBrownstone have you noticed how many of these anties come from other countrys.many of the countrys our American service men died for to keep them free.maybe next time they want help we should just tell them NO GUNS

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M

@beaglehunter That’s why I don’t take them seriously.
