I Am For Gun Control
mind control, countries like Japan, Austria , Switzerland have as much guns per capita as USA and you don't hear about shootings. Americans should not be allowed to even own toy guns.

@SoggedNapped they also said there was nothing of use in the declassified Tesla files that were confiscated when he died.. you rely to much on your government to tell you the truth.

@xSharp Oh dear.. narrow-minds ignore the rain falling on them, then complain they are wet and it's a conspiracy that umbrellas work.

@SoggedNapped narrow means NOT considering all possibilities.. educate yourself.

@xSharp SoggedNapped is correct with the FBI crime stats. However, it is true that you are 30 times more likely to be murdered with a knife than an assault weapon. And 3 times more likely to be murdered with a knife than a rifle or shotgun. For murderers, the firearm of choice is the handgun...because of concealability.
And if SoggedNapped looked closely at the data he/she referenced (and clearly did not) he/she would have learned that 90% of firearm homicides occur in America's inner cities, due to gangs and drugs.
Foreigners love wagging their sanctimonious fingers at the US and tell us we have a gun problem. They don't know shit, and act like a bunch of parrots mimicking what others say.

@BizSuitStacy jordan peterson a clinical psychologist claims that drugs and gangs are not the root cause of violent antisocial gangbangers and he says that it is caused by a terrible family life, no guidance for the children and lack of resources.
the children grow up suffering and eventually are able to justify causing suffering on others, its caused by nihilism.
very interesting lectures he gives on youtube, check them out :)

@BizSuitStacy so as long as it isn't where you live, its ok?
Granted this only goes to 2013: But how am I wrong again?:

@SoggedNapped where are you wrong?
1) you don't know where I live.
2) you've assumed that I'm ok with the violence in America's inner cities. I'm not.
3) you, like so many others from around the world believe that the cause of violence in the US is due to high gun ownership.
4) you flaunt the FBI UCR link as if it magically has the answer.
I've spent many years studying crime statistics, and gun control.
I'm sure you believe more guns = more violence. Well, here's something you missed in the FBI's UCR. The US firearm homicide rate is down 50% over the last 25 years. But gun ownership has nearly doubled. Gee...how could that possibly happen?
30K deaths via gun. Why put that stat out there if you know 20K of those are suicides? Are you intentionally misleading people, or did you MISS yet another detail?
Did you look at the firearm homicide statistics per US state? Why do some states like Vermont and Wyoming have firearm homicide rates on par with European countries like the UK, but states like California, Missouri, Maryland, Louisiana have firearm homicide rates on par with war zones? Do you have ANY explanation for the massive discrepancies within the US, or did you miss those also? And guess what? Vermont and Wyoming have far LESS gun control and far more guns per capita than states like California, Maryland, etc.
Did you bother looking at the firearm homicide rates within certain cities. How is it that a city like Chicago can have more than 500 firearm homicides in a given year, but cities adjacent to Chicago...many of those have 0.
What you've missed is that violence is concentrated within America's inner cities. If people TRULY want to reduce firearm violence...focus there. I've been screaming about these facts to my local legislators for years. It all falls on deaf ears.
Politicians talk about gun control. This is stupid because 90% of firearm homicides are committed by felons. And felons, by law, are banned from having guns. But they don't care about the laws and get the guns illegally instead.
Politician KNOW what the problem is...it's them and their stupid policies that keep people in poverty. Poor people resort to crime and violence to survive.
