Guns don’t kill on there own only stupid mofos don’t understand that.. It’s behavior of the individuals. If it’s not a gun there is other ways to kill. To take away a citizens right isn’t going to make it any better.. back when I was in school there was a fight and a guy got stabbed.. Should we take away knifes to? Look how many students across the country get get injured or killed in automobile accidents should we take away cars? We really need to take a better look at what is happening with the behavior of these individuals rather then to start changing laws...

@ItsRichard that argument does not hold up whatsoever #
ItsRichard · M
@Daintybeast it should it takes people to kill people the gun doesn’t shoot it self.. your argument doesn’t support nothing either.. come back at me this way and not even trying to see a different way doesn’t help solve the problem... It’s a behavioral problem you take away guns they will find away to get them or find another way to kill..

@ItsRichard Flawed argument. How do you explain the statistics if gun control does not work?

Cars have a practical use and benefit in society whereas guns were designed purely to kill. Comparing cars to mass murder with firearms is about as desperate (and stupid) as it gets.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k It’s a damn good argument look how many deaths happen... and you can say it’s a weapon of mass destruction look at theTerrorist attacks with cars, trucks, and airplanes.. a killer is a killer they will find another way..
fazer1k · 56-60, M
@ItsRichard The statistics prove otherwise. It isn't practical to ban planes and cars. Civilians, in general have no need for guns.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k that’s your opinion and I think your wrong. And it is practical to ban cars and planes, people got buy with out them before. I’m sure we can again..
fazer1k · 56-60, M
@ItsRichard I'm sure people could, but there's no need. Guns are the problem. How many school massacres were committed with a car or plane? Answer - none.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k I still remember 911, I still remember the federal building in Oklahoma City, you say it’s the guns that are the problem, but that’s not the answer, it’s the people... GUNS DON’T SHOOT THEM SELVES... It’s a behavior issue.. The part you don’t get a killer will only find another way..
@ItsRichard just jumping in here. Behavior and access to guns can both be problems. It's like letting your pyromaniac kid play with matches. Sure, we don't want to ban all matches, and we want kids to not play with lighters or rub sticks together even, but leaving the matches for them to play with is still not good.

@ItsRichard If crimes are already committed using planes and cars you really should take guns out of the mix to prevent adding to the death toll. Some people clearly are not taking responsibility for their guns and allowing others to get hold of them to use in crimes.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k guns don’t commit crimes people do.. and disarming a country makes it more vondrable to more terrorist attacker’s

@ItsRichard Americans commit the vast majority of murders using guns.

Gun Control makes the environment much safer. Statistics from other countries don't support what you say. You can make false claims all you like but the statistics show what really happens.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k what other country from what I here, the crimes are just as bad, let’s make it easier for ISIS to take over.. I have never shot a civilian in my life, and never will.. I’m not giving up my guns I like to target shoot and also like the security of it. Everyone doesn’t like everything it’s to bad that we only disagree but what makes you think you have the right to say what and who can have what... That doesn’t make you a free country. That’s called a dictatorship and that’s not happening.
fazer1k · 56-60, M
@ItsRichard Then you are happy to turn a blind eye to all the shootings so as you can keep your guns? That's hardly reasonable with regard to the victims or their families. America's strategy so far seems to be to do nothing and let the shootings continue - that's just barbarism.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k it’s not barbarism I feel sorry for the victims and their family I have two daughters my self.. and friends with families and we treat each other like family... it’s the individual not the gun what don’t you understand? They will find another way to kill if they want to kill. You don’t have to disarm your whole country to stop crime, criminals will get guns one way or another... I’m thankful you don’t live in my country because you are to one sided... it’s been one of our independents for a long time and I agree with it...
fazer1k · 56-60, M
@ItsRichard Statistics prove gun control works. What don't you understand?

I'm on the side of those who lose their lives.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k we can’t hold our feelings on our shirt sleeves.. The more it seems people want to ban guns the more the killings happen... It’s a behavioral situation and you can’t tell me it’s not.. all the violent video games don’t help and violent programs don’t help..

@ItsRichard No guns = No gun deaths.
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k criminals will still have guns, and there will still be away to get them, So if the start killing with bow and arrows are you going to take those away to?
fazer1k · 56-60, M
@ItsRichard You have to start with the control somewhere. It takes time to get gun out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them but that's what armed police units are for. No solution is perfect but if nothing changes how are you going to stop the shootings?
ItsRichard · M
@fazer1k America isn’t going to take away the 2 Addmendment ... No way that is going to happen.. I don’t trust most of my government let alone other countries.. an armed country is still safer then an unarmed one..
fazer1k · 56-60, M
@ItsRichard America clearly isn't a safer country for its own citizens. The statistics show Americans are 25 times more likely to be shot to death than the citizens of any other developed country.

You are placing a higher priority on the right to own guns than you are on the right to live.
