I'm Pro Gun [Pro Gun]

It seems like a no brainer, but to those without any...the criminals, psychopaths, and all others bent on destruction do not obey laws. Using Freudian pop psychology doesn't always work. A gun is a tool just like any other. Responsibility goes with it.

I don’t know man. Other countries without civilians carrying firearms seem to be able to cope with those problems just as well
@SW-User the day we gave up ours we gave up all our freedoms too 🇦🇺

@SW-User When the bad guys get ahold of guns and start laying people out in those countries people wish they had protection.

@HopalongMJ that’s a hypothesis though. When the moon falls to earth we all die kind of thing
HopalongMJ · M
@SW-User Hypothetical? Look at some ofthe killings in England and Scandinavia.
SW-User
@HopalongMJ so arming the citizens is the answer? Seems a bit irresponsible
HopalongMJ · M
@SW-User As opposed to having no one armed?
SW-User
@HopalongMJ I would rather have no one armed instead of having everyone armed

@HopalongMJ ok. I have never been in a situation where a gun would have came in handy and I have been around believe me.

@SW-User And would you consider all law abiding citizens turning in their guns while violent criminals continue to get theirs in some alleyway more responsible? Especially if you have a family to look out for?
Doesn't matter how many laws are passed, there are always those who will not follow them. And banning legally owned guns only makes it much easier for those still, illegally armed, criminals. And on average, it takes police about 30 minutes to show up for a call. It takes about 1-2 minutes to murder a family of 5.

@Indieoriginal maybe the fact that America is full of violent criminals with guns has something to do with the gun culture itself don’t you think?
HopalongMJ · M
@SW-User We have more people, so yeah. But, not every crime is committed with a gun.
SW-User
@HopalongMJ countries with significantly more people have much stricter gun laws and those crimes without guns involved eliminate the need of guns in that situation. The citizen bringing a gun into the middle of those situations is not a solution
