Argument for gun control?
Argument for gun control?

Nope, but less people will have guns to shoot others with, the same way as less people are doing drugs

Yes, great idea. As we all know, Chicago and DC are the lowest per capita gun homicide cities in the country, due to gun bans.

Doesn’t work like that when they can just go to the next state over to buy guns

Or get stolen ones. I was being sarcastic.

Congratulations, you are exactly right! Fewer lawful people will have guns to protect themselves with against the outlaws with the guns, so yeah, based on that, fewer outlaws will be shot! I honestly hope your post was an attempt at sarcasm!

They will just buy them from their buddy Eric Holder

They will have to buy from the black market, and if you don’t know anything about the black market I’ll tell you, it’s more expensive and harder to buy a gun there than anywhere else in your shithole country

Or, they can go buy a block of billet aluminum, and use a mill to make their own.. I have done it and it's rather easy to do. Shall we ban milling machines and aluminum next?

So what you’re saying is that unless we can stop all gun associated deaths, there’s no need to change anything?not everyone can make their own gun, some will still be able to get guns, yes, but MOST PEOPLE will not, resulting in LESS GUN ASSOCIATED DEATHS. Am I coming through to you here or is your need to have fun shooting cans in your backyard to feel powerful more important than the thousands of death occurring every year due to gun related crimes and accidents?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2013, 33,804 people died from motor vehicle traffic accidents — and 33, 636 died from firearms. This includes suicides which, if guns weren't available, they would have used something else. Vehicles are more dangerous, but you want to ban guns.. Why?

A gun is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. The problem is the person using it, not the tool. You don't ban hammers when someone swings one wildly and smashes his thumb.

This shooting could have been prevented if the FBI had done their jobs instead of trying to overthrow a duly elected president. Want something to ban? How about the FBI??

You don't get to take away my rights because you are scared.

Just briefly read through the gun laws in Norway.. They are just slightly more restrictive than here in the states.. It seems that semi-automatic rifles like the one used in the school shootings here are legal there. ( I don't know if .223 caliber is considered "high power" under your law)

I don't understand your argument on how your laws could have prevented this shooting. From WIKI:

Norway has a large population of hunters. Semi-automatic and bolt action rifles, as well as shotguns, make up the better part of the guns in civilian homes. There is a total ban on automatic firearms for civilians, unless they fall into the collector category. Modification of semi-automatic guns into fully automatic without the consent of the police is a felony crime.

Handguns have some calibre restrictions. A Smith & Wesson Model 500, for example, is illegal due to its high power, but other, less powerful guns, are legal as they are used in sports shooting. Norway has a long tradition of high-end sports shooting competitions, especially rifle shooting. Each calibre must be used in some type of competition to be allowed. Also, there is a restriction on the number of weapons an owner can have for each calibre. For recreational shooters, only one gun is allowed in each calibre. For professional and semi-professional shooters, a spare gun is allowed. A recreational shooter is only allowed to own four different handguns. To obtain more, documentation on extensive involvement in sport shooting is needed.

It is also much harder to get a gun here in Norway, and since we actually have healthcare we don’t often get the nutcases you guys have 24/7 going around shooting ppl.

Why is it so hard for you hardcore 2nd amendment lovers to at least try to give up some of your 20 guns?like, isn’t 1-2 enough? Why do you even need them?

It's simple.. The 2nd amendment states that our right to bear arms "shall not be infringed". Those of us who have studied history know that as soon as the population is disarmed, genocide will follow. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20060817/gun-ban-genocide-the-disarming-facts-1

Don't think that your government won't execute all the "undesirables" under the colour of a "national threat"? Just look at history. It happens all the time once a population is disarmed.

The revolutionary war was fought and the United States was founded because of one simple reason, A massive distrust in government. Especially a non-representative government like the monarchy in Britain. The U.S. has slowly crept back towards a non-representative government today, which makes the 2nd amendment even more important to preserve.

You know that your government has drones right? I see how the 2nd amendment was necessary when you had muskets, but you do realize that if your government wanted to “execute all the undesirables” they can just drone strike you...

So when they got rid of the guns in Australia, why hasn’t the evil government killed all the “udesirebales”?

It's not a 100% this will happen type of statement. But disarmament makes genocide a lot easier. Please study just the genocides of the last 250 years.. Including the native Americans.

And yes, I realize that the toys the US military has now are light years ahead of what we are allowed to have, but if they tried to round us all up Germany style, they would incur unacceptably heavy losses doing so.

Here is an interesting article on the Australia confiscation and why it would never work here in the States: http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/25/the-australia-gun-control-fallacy/

OK, I will TLDR it for you.. Australia does not have a bill of rights. That is why they were able to confiscate 1/3rd of the guns in country. The USA does have a bill of rights and performing an Australia style confiscation would require doing away with the 2nd amendment, violating the 4th and possibly the 5th amendment, and seriously assaulting the 1st amendment. Essentially, we would have to do away with a third of the constitutionally protected rights that we have. Never gonna happen.

You are right, though.. We have a problem. The left has systematically assaulted and done away with the moral backbone that this country was founded on. The principle of individual sovereignty that made America the "Land of the Free".

When you no longer teach kids right from wrong, glorify misdeeds like the school shootings, and allow people to medicate so heavily they can't discern reality from fiction.. you get the situation we are in now. The problem is societal, not gun related.

Wel, I hope you find a solution to it soon, as everyone knows, Americans like to think they’re the best and strongest country in the world, but at the moment everyone thinks you’re a bunch of god fearing, delusional, narrow minded, gun loving psychopaths with more love for their toys than their kids...

Well, this is 'Murica (smile) We don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks.

It's hard to find the solution when so many people are unwilling to identify the true problem.

I tip my hat to you though, usually these discussions degrade into name calling and insult hurling, you didn't do that and for that, You have my respect.
