What is your stance on gun control?

The simple answer is to prohibit all magazines in excess of ten rounds and severely limit how many of those a person can have per calibre/firearm @Qahnaarin

@Qahnaarin Grow up. We don't live in a video game.

@Graylight wtf are you talking about? We have this thing called the 2nd Amendment or hadn't you heard?

@pdqsailor1 not so simple, do you think criminals play by the rules?

@Qahnaarin Gee and that is why I thought they make prisons - break the law, go to prison.. So if a criminal highjacks an air craft and is going to smash it into a building you figure you should be able to buy one and crash it into his house? If a Criminal nation builds nuclear bombs - you figure you personally should have one to bomb their nation? if a drug lord has a Tank with a 100 mm cannon - you figure you should have one too? How about automatic weapons? You figure you should have them? There are sensible LIMITS to everything and the man who proposed this idea was one William Ruger - the founder of a very large and successful firearms manufacturing company that bears his name.. it is a reasonable limit on firearms insanity, it should be the law and prison should be the place for those who do not obey the law.. and I am a gun owner.....

I live in Canada - there are magazine capacity limits on every single firearm not exceeding ten rounds with ONE singular class of firearms.. exempted and that is Rimfire rifles.. carbines because things like lever action Marlins wth tube magazines existed at the time they formulated the law can hold more than ten rounds... if Canadians can live with ten round magazine capacity limits or LESS than this than so can you.. I know it may not be as convenient but honestly if it takes more than ten rounds to hit a target or hunt for an animal - you should spend more time practicing.. your forefathers made do with a single round and if they did not hit what they were aiming at - they did not eat. . if you go back to the revolutionary war - the entire affair was fought with single shot muskets so please keep some historical perspective about the technology and time line of fire arm development... the constitutional protections never foresaw the technology of repeating firearms.. not revolvers, not carbines ... none of it.. an originalist argument could be strongly made that single shot fire arms are the ONLY thing protected by the constitutional right to bare arms.. so please consider that the considerable intellect of Bill Ruger was espousing a fair idea when he said ten rounds..

@Qahnaarin I am a Canadian gun owner... I follow and I obey the laws in Canada - and there are a LOT of them... I obey them to the letter of the law.. I follow the rules and I am what the RCMP calls a "responsible gun owner". I have spoken to the RCMP and they could not be more helpful or respectful... I took the courses, I filled out the application and paid the fee, and submitted the application and the RCMP agreed to issue ME a possession and acquisition license - which is a privilege not a right in Canada, you need to demonstrate that you have met the standards .... This process took nine months.. after you get the license, you can purchase a gun and ammunition, no license no gun - under the law.. There are a LOT of rules and laws to obey.. I know them, I follow them. Now criminals buy guns and ammunition smuggled into Canada from the USA with no licenses and no rules followed and every single day you read about some criminal breaking the law.. I don't say this is not fair, I say find the criminal and throw them into prison.. that is where they belong.
