Gun Control

1) Man attacked by pack of wolves: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ent-piste.html

If he'd only had his ar15 while skiing in Europe he could have killed those 3 wolves. No way a smaller gun would have worked in this scenario.

[Blake]

Never said that.

Well if you think intelligent life and space travel are both possible then....I don't know what to tell you

2) US invasion from another country, 17 US citizens killed: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-...illa-raids-u-s

3) Current example of authoritarian government with military control of the country: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43414348

I'd say the odds are greater than 0%

Wait, you really referenced Pancho Villa?

[Blake]

Let me know when your alternative actually gets implemented.

It won't because it's stupid to allow someone to own a nuke even though it's a cons utional right to bear it.

Like an AR15

[DeadlyDynasty]

Wait, i can own a nuke?

[Pavlov]

- Defense from coyotes/wolves and other pack animals where 10 rounds from a handgun is not sufficient.

- Defense from potential US invasion from another country (dem Russians)

- Defense from potential authoritarian/fascist US government which is controlling the US military

You just need to feel safe.

[Blake]

Nope even though it's your right to bear Arms

[DeadlyDynasty]

Nope even though it's your right to bear Arms

Lame, i was gonna buy one with bitcoin

[KenMcCoy]

1) Happened in the UK wilderness
2) Happened 375yrs ago
3) Syria

at these examples.

Are the chances 0% or are they greater than 0%? 1% maybe?

[Blake]

Lol not even close to 1%.

[KenMcCoy]

You just need to feel safe.

Agreed 100%. My need to feel safe is within my rights as a US citizen and doesn't impinge on anyone elses.

[SpursforSix]

Feel free to tell me how much you want your taxes raised to do this.

Tell me how much it's worth to you to lower gun deaths by 50%+

[TeyshaBlue]

Could a country occupy a portion/region of the US? You're ok with that region not being able to defend themselves until the US military arrives?

No.

[RandomGuy]

Growing up in a rural area, often out of town, I never, nor did I know anyone, encounter a pack of coyotes/wolves/javalenas et al. Chased a few coyotes off my land with a lever action Winchester 30-30 tho. Never had an occasion to fire more than 2 rounds.

No country on earth can afford to occupy a nation the size of the US. Not happening.

We wouldnt stand a chance against a modern military campaign even if we had rpgs and mini guns. If we ever get to that point (highly unlikely) we'll have much more pressing concerns than battling our own military.

Guns are for lazy s who don't want to be informed and involved. The best defense against tyranny is simply taking part in Democracy in an informed way.

SHOOTINGS NOW THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR U.S. CHILDREN

Quite a bit.

Arming teachers won't help, and is a waste of money and effort that can be spent elsewhere.

Generally:
Personally I am a bit tired of gun manufacturer propaganda. It's tiresome, and we can do better for public policy.

[Pavlov]

You have the right to flat out kill people if you don't feel safe, but that doesn't impinge on other people's rights.

[KenMcCoy]

Lol not even close to 1%.

.001%?

Armed teachers (with Thread Neutralization Training) would stop many of the mass shootings. And still allow for the shooter to be arrested and questioned as to motif.

And it wouldn't raise taxes that much. The training would just be integrated into whatever training was already in place.

Democracy can never be threatened?

You're either stupid, sheltered, or naive. I'm not one of these AR lovers/supporters, but your post reeks of someone who has never left green acres

[lebomb]

I just suggest ban ARs and this is where this thread goes. I actually kind of knew it would get here.

[RandomGuy]

No, not really. Canada is too small, and Mexico's army is not really up to the task.

Anybody else, and you have to tell me how they will get these mythological troops onshore, and supply them past one of these:



Not really an argument anyone should take seriously. Logistics, logistics, logistics.

[Pavlov]

.001%?

What is the regional invasion and occupation scenario you're planning for in your area?

[RandomGuy]

I am none of those things. I am, however, kinda fed up with propaganda that is really obvious.
