    so give me a good reason for why we have any laws?
    The majority adhere to the laws, hence we have laws. But there are a minority that don’t. So we pass laws for the majority and we punish the minority. A law didn’t stop and wouldn’t stop Parkland or Sandy Hook. For those situations, there isn’t much you can do but hope someone has a gun to ward off the shooter or that some act of God saves you. It’s a sad reality of life, but not a reason to have no laws.

    Like I said, "short-term thinker".

    They needlessly vulnerable. There are numerous ways to save lives without becoming vulnerable. For starters, they can work on their suicide rate.

    Good god, reading this thread reminds me of why I quit posting at this hole.

    Nathan89, you really are a . If you just admitted that you are selfish and wanna own a gun because it makes you feel good and you don't care how many kids have to be murdered in school for you to be able to do it, I could at least have a shred of respect for you. The bull arguments you make are what drives me crazy.

    And the hilarious thing is, even with reasonable gun controls and regulations, your stupid ass could probably still own a gun as long as you aren't a felon or have a violent history. Sure, it may cost a bit more, and may be a little more of a hassle to keep everything legal, but if you really love owning a gun and shooting, that shouldn't matter.

    People like you who want guns everywhere make people like me feel LESS SAFE. I will never understand why anyone would think they need to have a gun everywhere they go.

    "the powers at be"

    The NRA controls every branch of government at this point.

    Tell me, do handguns make the same wounds as AR-15 type weapons?
    Depends

    So they have about the same suicide rate as the US, but incredibly lower murder rate than the US...

    I think they like their 'vulnerability' exactly the way it is. BTW, it's not illegal to own guns in Japan.

    Ive often wondered several things. What do gun owners need protection for or from? That seems to be the sentiment for not wanting gun control, whatever thay means.

    And lol for the idiots who want to arm teachers. Jesus. How stupid can you be?
    Bad people do exist. Arming teachers is just a suggestion.

    We can't even trust every teacher not to have sick relationships with kids nowadays, and yet people want to arm them. Yeah, that'll get us places.

    so most people will follow the law.

    if a law banning AR's can prevent some people from acquiring said weapon that could end up using it dangerously, isn't that good enough, even if it doesn't stop 100%?

    Of course not. America clearly knows better about gun regulation.

    No, the difference between their suicide rate and ours is not "about the same" it's actually an astronomical difference. If you adjust our suicide rate to theirs we'd have 20,000 more suicides per year.

    They also have a geneous country. If the country had the demographics of Vermont we'd probably fair much better. Over half the homicides come from black people which is only 13% of the country.

    Yeah, everybody enjoys being vulnerable. In reality vulnerabilities are only a problem when they are exploited.

    this would be a viable argument if we had race wars over the street, with black people killing white people, and vice versa (excluding law enforcement, for obvious reasons). but that's not what we find. instead that just comes off as "black people are bad'

    Americans telling other countries that successfully implemented gun control regulations, and can actually prove it, how it should be done...

    This is also part of the problem in the US, tbh, people don't want to listen at all, even if the facts hit them straight in the face.

    You keep doing your "I know better" routine while people die, Japan will keep their low murder rate, thanks.

    There are 650,000 abortions in the US every year. Maybe we should outlaw peckers.

    Chicago and DC are riddled with gun violence and have the strictest gun laws. Most gun deaths (67%) are suicides. Most gun deaths are from handguns. 0% of mass shooting are committed by NRA members. 98% of shooting occur in gun free zones. Stay woke

    You can blame Pop for making this relevant to the Spurs. Otherwise it wouldn't be discussed here.

    You're correct. I don't care enough about an insignificant amount of murders to push policy on the rest of the country.

    You can go to the UK if you want to feel extra "safe" they'll take away your guns and your free speech.

    Of course it's a terrible argument. Heck, I didn't even touch the fact that such regulations make Japenese citizens much more trustworthy of the police too, etc.
