3/4ths of guns used in mass murders are obtained legally. The six guns used in the Sandy Hook shooting were legally bought possessed by the shooter's mother.

gosh I just told someone I was done debating the subject so here is my final comment

which is why instead of banning something I think they should just perform background checks on people, that could also help and people could keep their guns. also the guns were obtained by a person who wasn't apart of the shooting which means the people using them were handling them illegally

Who said I was in favor of banning guns? Pro-gun rights activists usually spout that strawman when in fact we want the same reasonable legislation that you'd probably be in favor of. Federally mandated background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and banning most if not all extended magazines. I'm also in favor of banning assault rifles, but JUST assault rifles. People who want guns for morally honest reasons would be forced to buy some other type of gun, boohoo. We can't always get what we want because sometimes the government deems it dangerous to society, like illegal narcotics for example.

also this is totally off topic, but do you play League of Legends or own a PS3 because you seem to be one of the few reasonable people I've seen on the internet and I would like to add you as a friend on something, don't really care what game I'd add you on just any random game would work.

I've got an Xbox? Neither of those though, sorry.

my brother moved out recently and I let him take it with him, damn.

oh sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention before and I guess I just assumed you were against gun use. But banning assault rifles, that's a very broad term and can be interpreted in many different ways. A person can look at a bolt action hunting rifle and say it can be used as an assault weapon, so sure you could ban certain firearms but please make it more specific than simply "assault rifles"

If you didn't know, the Clinton magical fairy princessistration passed a law known as the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and it laid out the specific grounds for what types of guns would be banned. I actually just want that law reenacted, as it expired in 2004.

well we seem to have found a common ground, good debate my friend (if you could call it that because we kinda agreed on stuff)

and even if they werent they didnt grow on automatic trees , even illigal guns have bein on a store shelve someday

Not necessarily. And I don't see the point you're trying to make.

i mean that when an automatic gun is manufactured it isnt put in a public bin for the illigal person just to take
its bought by a store
who then sells it for a profit
now if you are a bad person you can go and sell this gun for a higher profit to someone who hasnt got a license but wants one to lets say do harm
then this gun is now deemed illigal
but saying it has never bein inside a store once in its time is total bullshit

People who make guns don't just sell to gun stores. And I really fail to see the point here.

The only legally registered fully automatic weapon used in a murder since the law was passed in 1934 was registered to a police station. One of the cops there stole the gun and used it to machine gun his wife's lover.

THANK you! No one gets that! They think if they ban them, they will go away. Nope, we just will not have them, but they still will.

glad to see i brightened up someone's day

....ummmmmmmmmm
so wait
you are saying those illigally obtained weapons werent in a store before this
they just came falling from the fucking sky
yes
sure
no gun laws>store buys automatics>guy legally buys automatic>guy isnt actually that nice and sells it for a profit to someone who wants to do harm using it

its not like illigally obtained means it has never seen a store shelve

so you want to ban them because you think it will keep them away from people, please tell how hard it is for people to obtain banned drugs and honestly i dont feel like debating about this with someone over the internet because both of us have made up our minds and all it will turn into is a flame war. so this is my last post on the subject, bye bye

well i wont flame i promise that i stay above that
but its not like the illigal guns are aquired by people just running into an army base and taking them
those are militairy propperty and not for trade
the guns that are in illigal hands may not have gotten there from a store
but they sure have bein inside a store sometime in the past
as its the only thing gun manufacturers send these guns to exept the military

okay screw it I'll keep commenting. to add on to that, not all guns are manufactured by large companies there's tons of people who know how to make and mold firearms. you don't have to buy them off a mass produced shelf in order to get them because someone could just make them underground and sell them that way

PS: the captcha required for every comment is really bugging me

also sorry about the grammar in my last comment, I typed that out pretty horribly

aren't

Your example of most of the Thor movie of him being only slightly stronger does prove asgardians as only slightly stronger than people. However, Thor himself is a demi-god, the only reason throughout most of the Thor movie that he was weaker without his armor was because when Odin cast him out, he took away his powers as well until he proved himself worthy of them again.
