Problems do not come from the guns, If you didnt have a gun you would use a tazer then just slit the throat of the person you tazed, or you would use a rock or heavy object in a sock and beat them to death, People will kill eachother no matter what they have to use
so your argument revolves around the fact that if you want to kill someone you can kill them? Well damn straight, you can just choke people.. But that said, how fast does a gun kill? how easy is it to take a life when you have a gun? It only takes a moment of anger and you might end up as a killer..
But a gun does make it easier point and pull the trigger, at least when you lift that rock or shoot the tazer you have that time to reconsider a gun is instant.
well the theatre shooting could have easily been downsized if they werent so strict, IE someone with their concealed weapons permit and seeing him tried to stop him
you do realize that there are so many laws for guns that you can't use it how you think anyone can use it. in my area you can never carry a gun around. you can only have it in your house pretty much. you can only transported to and from the gun range and if you stop anywhere you could actually get arrested if a police officer sees the actual guns. guns cost a lot of money. ammo cost a lot of money. you do realize that the only problem with guns non law abiding citizens. a lot of people at least obey the laws. the only instances where laws aren't obeyed is in the case of not knowing the law, in which case you could face many years in jail over a technicality, and if you were a criminal, in which case you don't need to follow all of the procedures to get a gun in the first place and you could actually buy one off of the black market easily. all the people who say that guns are so bad clearly don't know **** about them.
What's more retarded is the gambling age, which is 21 in my country.
If you're eighteen:
Join the army? Sure. (Not that our army does anything.)
Alcohol? Surely you started at thirteen.
Have a say in who runs the country? Go ahead.
Using your own money in a game of chance? **** off mate, you don't know what kind of **** you're messing with here!
With context, I think the whole gun thing is actually about the Army, not that you can buy guns at 18. "You must hurt yourself or others", as in kill or be killed, a common situation in combat.
D'oh, I read that wrong. My mistake. Anyways, you can drink at 18 on base if you're enlisted, from what I've heard. Federal law only says you have to be 18. No state law can overrule federal limits such as age limits on drinking.
