Do you own a gun?

[Likealokey]

To protect your family or for your personal collection display?

The problem isn't with a weapon. The problem is with people. since the beginning of man all we've managed to do is find new and interesting ways to put an end to each other.

I can do a lot of horrible things with a broadsword before anybody could be marshalled to stop me. I could say the same thing about an ice pick or a brick.

A firearm doesn't lead to violence. It's the person behind the firearm that leads to the violence and why we need incredibly more stringent regulation.

Not gun bans. Regulation.

you should be required by law before you file for a gun to have a mental health assessment. At the very least.

A firearm is a tool just like a hoe is. Their purpose is specific but that's what they're designed for. And you can easily kill someone with one or the other.

Don't blame guns for violence. The violence was already there.

that breaks second amendment. Everyone deserve a gun and then there's less crime because everyone can defend themselves all the time.

Guns are too OP and stupid, they need a nerf. Until they get a nerf, I don't want one.

Maybe a country that doesn't care is the problem

"We don't have a gun problem... We have a political agenda and media sensationalism problem."

Congrats on seeking out the necessary information to confirm your biases, even if the information is misleading and mostly irrelevant.

That doesn't break second amendment.

The second amendment of the United States Constitution requires that people be allowed to have weapons in order to form an organized militia in a resistance against tyranny.

Nothing I said prevents someone from owning a gun.

But it would limit the number of legal weapons in the hands of people that have mental defects that would lead them to cause acts of violence. At no point in time does the Constitution say everybody should have a gun, and I'm pretty sure 47 out of the 48 presidents would have agreed with me.

I will stand by a person's right to own a firearm because our country was built on revolution and the ability to fight off tyranny. but I'm not going to trust Joe schmo down at the grocery store who thinks he's the next big gangster to have a gun.

The ownership and operation of a firearm is a privilege. Granted to us in the US by constitutional law. And that's the big word there.

Privilege.

I can no longer purchase firearms because I have had an extended slice of time in a mental institution. And I have absolutely no issue with the because I know that I could be dangerous.

I will fight for your right to own but I will not fight for the right of everyone to own.

3 of them, most of them are hand-me-downs though. 2 .22 caliber rifles I had since I was a kid, and one single-barrel 12ga. shotgun. As they were all gifts I'm not aware of the make and model of the rifles, I just know the type of ammunition they use. Thought about buying a pistol down the line, I figure they're more useful for home / personal defense as far as guns go, especially if you're in your house or something and have to ward off a thief or intruder.

How do you upvote on Steam?

I've been selling all of mine over the past few years. Some went to pawn, others in simple cash exchanges with fellas in passing. All legal of course.

I own an old muzzle loader I plan to hunt with someday if still legal. We've also got a real neat .22 but it has problems with an ejector plate so it's broken down and put away.

Nope. Guns are not for me and while I still am able to profit from what I do have, I will. That's about over, with only a small pistol to get rid of. It's old and the serial is dented off. It'll probably go to my local p.d


My home protection is locks, a bat, and Jesus. :)
I'm 41 single and always will be. That's why the guns gotta go.

[fournotice]

No But i wish since most europeans countries don't have the freedoms to bear arms what so ever. But i wish too, Hoping to fight for it in the near future.

Also adds unconditional love into the picture. Say no to guns and yes to dogs (including gundogs).

Well, even though i’m mostly neutral or leaning for tighter regulations in my country, i can still find some counter arguments here, which are:

You just said how people can kill others with ice picks, why give those people something far more lethal and long range? Fire arms doesnt lead to violence but it enables very angry and unstable people tools to do a lot of harm. Sure, buying illegally is possible, but idk how easy it is in reality, might be pretty hard, or easy depending where you live.

Someone thinking about having a revenge on bullies or whole school, might just never do it with knives or some other melee, or driving over class mates with a car. Its always a gun. Without guns, they might just vommit suicide, and even though i think bullies should burn in hell, it is better outcome, as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up as it sounds.

Also, mental health checks cant predict how someone might snap in future, over divorce, going broke, losing a job etc.

I do agree with tight regulations, but i think they should be very tight.

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

But see here's the counterpoint.

Which one is more dangerous. A man with a gun or a man with a knife? I would argue that both are equally dangerous, depending on motivation.

A firearm can expedite the killing of people but that's about it. It's a weapon designed to do just that.

But you could probably do significantly more damage to the human population with the pointy end of a Sharp piece of metal.

Part of a firearms scariness is the fact that it's very loud and intimidating. It's an attention getter.

If you were to hand me I could shoot enough people until the ammunition goes dry. If you were to hand me a knife I could do work all day.

Entry level easiness of operating a firearm is not a reason to not have them. A weapon itself doesn't have any kind of ill intent.

You don't need to ban guns, you just need to control where they're coming from and who has access to them.

If you were to ban them today, but that wouldn't stop people from having them. It would just mean the wrong people have the majority.

The majority of gun owners are actually quite responsible with them. Otherwise my country would be like the wild West all over again. And it certainly isn't.

I own and shoot regularly. I've owned quite a variety of guns as I explained earlier. I have never pulled and fired my weapon in anger once.

When you pull you have to have the intent to kill. and if someone were to break into my house and I had no other option I would do so. Which is what 99.99% of gun owners believe and follow.
