Cause every day there's a school shooting, right?

Let's ban cars, because anyone can run over students with their car. And lets ban anything sharp, because anyone could use it as a weapon to stab people.

Oh, and lets not forget banning anything heavy, cause anyone can use it to bash people's heads.

Let's allow citizens to also own nuclear weapons, because other stuff can kill people too.

Comparing crime in America and crime in UK is comparing Apples and Oranges.

Let's look at this then: Notice how the top of the list has little or no gun control.

If by "saved asses" you mean "waited to see which side was going to win then coming in to look like the turning point" and "invading 3rd world countries and overthrowing democracies" then yes.

Uhh, no. School shootings are quite rare. Guns are used more for things like self-defense and hunting.

It's funny because I just did an essay on the Second Amendment and guns for History.

I believe that as long as the person is safe and responsible, why shouldn't they own a gun?

There is no accurate test to see if a person is safe and responsible. Look at the Jared Loughners of the world. People who can pass the background check, and the person can be a depraved violent criminal who hasn't got caught yet.

Oh, you're talking Japan. Yeah, Europe totally benefited from us taking out Japan and it wasn't like Russian soldiers were on their way to Japan also. May I ask why Russia would need to storm Normandy when they could simply walk into Mor- I mean Germany

Actually by beaches I meant Normandy and Italy, but by defeating Japan we saved China.

You mean his facts that claimed that guns are the only self defense option? Or the FBI one that did it at a national scale, which includes the people who do not have high crime rates due to income level? I am talking purely urban areas.

I'm only talking about the ones that completely discredit your argument.
That being said; I'm talking about all of them.

I never said that, but almost all the time just having a gun is enough to scare off an attacker. I carry knives with me all the time, I don't walk around with a holstered pistol.

Or the FBI one that did it at a national scale, which includes the people who do not have high crime rates due to income level? I am talking purely urban areas.

Well I am talking a national level, because not everyone lives in the city.

And the FBI one didn't state how crime rates have been falling for years. Statistics are very easy to manipulate.

I was talking about one of your sources. I will not trust any source that makes a claim such as that.

Well I am talking a national level, because not everyone lives in the city.

So you will never see where the actual violent crime happens, or where OC heads doing a quick B&E for a legally bought gun occurs.

Yep. Let's trust a source that says a firearm is the only reliable method of self defense, or

That being said; I'm talking about all of them.

one that completely neglects the fact that crime has been falling for years regardless of gun purchases. Besides, how would the criminals know gun purchases are up, until the statistics actually come out?

The answer was more focused on the fact that they were pig farmers. I put musket because there were no AK-47s in the 1700

Oh, I don't know what he's talking about.

A shotgun has no rifling, meaning it wouldn't be considered a rifle. Maybe the terminology where he is, is different.

I did a google search and the only thing that came up was rifles and shotguns made for hunting, so I'm not sure what he meant

The whole reason that gun ownership is a fundamental right in the USA is so that the people can stand up to their government.

Without the right to bear arms, theoretically (and historically), governments can walk all over their constituents unchecked.

You gave an example of America losing to pig farmers.
