Border control. That, or by using your logic, legalize all drugs.

Oh and you act as if the countries around the world are going to resort back to using swords/knives and other such objects to use in war.

Armies =\= civilians.

Sorry that I like to think realistically about the world and situations like this, unlike other people. I guess that's my cross to bear in life.

Baw, you're so noble.

Owning a gun is a part of life. I don't see how banning them would work.

It's simple. With both versions of gun control (make no mistake both sides attempt to control the use of guns) you still have people selling guns illegally on the street.

In America, in order to legally own a gun, you have to first pass a background check (no felonies), then you have to purchase the weapon at a gunshop legally, then go through the process of getting a permit (perhaps not in that order either), and I believe the gun has to be registered somehow, like a car. Basically theres this serial number on the side of a gun.

In countries where gun ownership is illegal outside of the police and military, the only way you can get a gun is if you're an designated employee of the government.

So lets think about this, the people who probably want guns more in America are people with felonies on their record, but since they can't get it legally they simply find a guy who's selling them out of his car trunk. Same thing with the countries that don't allow it at all.

Why does the UK have less gun crime than the US? because of gun control.

Your actually right, I do think we should legalize all drugs but that's a different conversation.

And border control will have about as much of effect as it does with drugs, which is little to none.

Because it's a smaller country that isn't filled with dangerous low-income areas riddled with crime that is caused by past socio-economic trends.

Comparing the United States to the UK is like apples to oranges. Lumping me together with something that happened on the west coast would be like me lumping you together with something that happened in Turkey.

Also my reason why Europe doesn't need guns. It's not like crime rate drops significantly when moving to America. You'd guess that with everyone being able to protect himself, crime would be far less.

Well of course guns aren't needed in the UK!

THEY HAVE BATMAN

this is old news, but I honestly think about this every time someone says, "nothing can go wrong when we use batons."

Because most gun crime isn't criminal V. civilian. It's usually criminal v. criminal.

"What's the point of having laws if people are going to break them?"

Well I guess we don't need laws anymore. Lemme tell the police to pack it up and go home.

You are twisting around the argument.

What's the point in taking away firearms from law abiding citizens to use in self-defense when the same law will not prevent criminals from obtaining them?

So not allowing guns in certain public areas prevents shootings in said areas?

Tell that to the mothers of the victims in the OPs post.

I would support regular citizens having guns, if they had classes on how to use them. Otherwise there really is no point.

Just throwing it out there, but most street dealers sell stolen guns from people who bought them legally.

Basically theres this serial number on the side of a gun.

And nothings preventing me from buying one and going out and gunning down as many people as I can. But hurr durr, I could do that with a car too right Nowhere enar as effectively.

In countries where gun ownership is illegal outside of the police and military, the only way you can get a gun is if you're an designated employee of the government.

Which means no one can do a quick B&E, steal a few guns, and circulate them on the street.

So lets think about this, the people who probably want guns more in America are people with felonies on their record, but since they can't get it legally they simply find a guy who's selling them out of his car trunk. Same thing with the countries that don't allow it at all.

A gun that was stolen when they broke into somebodies home. The people who buy the smuggled guns aren't your everyday crook, and they do not use them for the majority of crimes that will affect most people. If the only guns available were smuggled guns, you will not see everyday criminals being able to get them considering that smuggled guns are considerably more expensive then stolen.

Sorry if it wasn't simple enough for you to follow.

What I was saying is that the way blacks were treated after slavery caused most of them to be very poor.

Because of segregation, they were all put in the same areas. This created areas of poverty and crime.
