Americans, would you argue with these gun regulations being put in place?
Using Canada as an example:
- Guns must double locked each with trigger locks and additionally locked inside a steel gun cabinet
- Ammo must be locked in a separate location
- Legal rifle magazines are pinned to only hold 5 rounds each and handguns for 10 rounds each
With these sort of regulations, you can even keep your assault rifle. My father (Canadian) has a AR-15 in his safe, but the mags are pinned to allow only 5 rounds as opposed to 30.
Would you support these type of common sense gun control laws?

I suppose more stop & search laws are needed or having at least 5 armed guards/cops/national guard on patrol in every k-12 schools & malls or just move children out of schools into home schooling or tutoring the way it was a 2,000 to a 100 year ago. Video games, horror flicks, crime flicks, action flicks, sci-fi flicks, adventure flicks, war flicks, music that brags of murder or any gun crimes & hardcore xxx films influences teens with homicidal Ideals why not limit it all to E rating. Hollywood is the biggest promoter of fire-arms as a life saver necessary to fight evil: Django Sukiyaki/Unchained, dust till dawn, zero dark, saving private ryan, mission impossible, grind house, transformers etc. Perhaps hollywood should write out fire arms & replace them with spears, arrows, & tomahawk.
How about disarming military & law enforcement? What's going to keep their firearms from being stolen or sold in the black market by corrupt military, law enforcement, personnel, DA or DOJ's fast & furious program that lets suspects walk away in a sting without any intention to track & apprehend suspects letting loose fire arms waiting for them be used in criminal activity or homicides by non citizens & criminals they intended to arm.
You have laws against rape, murder, robberies, & many other crimes, why can't these laws stop criminals from committing these crimes. There are laws in driving safety yet many still don't follow. Costas reacted verbally against gun ownership when a FB player used it to commit suicide, but did not reacted verbally against car ownership when a FB player rolled out of control from speeding killing a team mate. Whether it's robbery, rape, murder, suicide, negligent reckless accidents, or abortion those who made the choice are responsible for their action no body else's, & there's nothing that can be done to ban or completely stop these from happening.
Law abiding gun owners out number murderous individuals, thugs, groups, & gangs by the millions yet they don't go out committing robberies, rape, or murder slinging or firing their guns in the air around intimidating people like thugs & gangs or the mid east & sub sahara.
Gun control dictates that only criminals should have guns. What's going to stop a home invader from raping a 12 year old locked in the bathroom closet? What's going to stop a family from being robbed by an armed burglar? What's going to stop a business owner or home owner from being looted during a disaster, a 1/2 or a 1/3rd of americans are not as principled & disciplined as the Japanese? The carr brothers would not have succeeded in sodomizing & killing 4 unarmed people if those 4 were armed with some self defense training, or better yet if those 4 were former seals, rangers, marines. Not everybody has bodyguards, henchmen, secret service to watch their their backs, families & homes 24/7.
People without or with violent tendencies who may not have committed capital crimes yet can someday commit capital crimes & there is no way anybody can predict when a crime is going to be committed unless every person in the country are monitored or spied upon by the government, plus law enforcers don't have a tele-porter device to transport them to where the criminal or criminals are within micro seconds. Even members of law enforcement & legislature commit crimes. A gun is not needed to commit capital crime, toxins, fire (esme kenny), poisons, strangulation (marsha trimble), sharp objects (nicole simpson), cars, blunt force from stones, & bats is just as effective as a gun.
James Holmes, Jarod Lee Laughner, Major Nadal Hasan should've been executed within a year. Sentencing is all that is needed when capital crimes are committed in public view with hundreds of witnesses caught in the act. Japanese generals were hanged & german insurgents faced firing squads within months after capture in WWII.
Parolee's, Released Convicted Felons, mobs, & gangs (criminal groups, clubs or organizations) should be searched (stop & search), & raided for Illegal fire arms regularly on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Tracking chip implants in vital areas to all released convicted felons. But these will unlikely happen as the mindset revolves around criminals having rights even though criminals violated others or their victims rights. Any one should loose their rights when they commit capital crimes or had been convicted of capital crimes.
Principled Values in self-reliance, perseverance, hardship, hard work, responsibilities & real discipline (boot camp) is what a great society need & fight against savior complex, self-glorification, self-promotion, & arrogance delusional or merited the way the japanese huge majority, shaolin & amish society live their lives with the amish being the truest pacifist. Whether atheist or religious the path to a great society is not to be self absorbed & very dependent on others.

Taking away parents rights to discipline their children properly only encourages facilitating spoiled behavior not learning that there are consequences in negative behavior. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201212... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201212... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201212... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1566715.stm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95zI8zrmxIQ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=190_1355606038 http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3083618&page=1 http://news.yahoo.com/okla-girl-12-shoots-intruder... http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/burglar-calls... - CalvinLv 78 years ago
All but the magazine limits at the manufacture and sale of said magazines would be entirely unenforceable (the police in this nation cannot search ones home or place of business without a warrant).
The magazine issue would be very expensive in its enforcement even simply as to manufacture and sales. Magazines are manufactured by MANY companies, most of which are not gun manufacturers, and would require the ATF to treat magazines as controlled elements (which would be very costly to enforce being they are simply plastic molds). California for example has laws limiting a magazine to 10 rounds...BUT if you personally inquire of people owning magazine fed weapons they will virtually all own magazines that feed more than 10 rounds (even if they do not use them publicly).
There are tens of millions of supposed "assault rifles" already in the hands of the public, and hundreds of millions of 30 round magazines out there (even if all else was undertaken by the ATF to limit it as you suggested).

Well, you must understand that we share a border with Mexico. Criminals can easily get weapons through the black market. What are we going to do when we encounter criminals with AK-47s? Do you think that their ammo will be limited? Hell no!
Putting any kind of major restrictions on guns would give criminals the advantage.
How can people protect their families if they have to go to a separate location, load their weapons, and then hope that they aren't all dead before they can shoot back?

No. Because it is merely something to make people feel better while doing nothing but making it more difficult on the law abiding. Criminals don't obey laws, why can't you people understand that? Or do you do understand it you just choose to ignore it?
There is nothing about anything you propose that is "common sense". Your side has used that term as a way to make us seem irrational. It doesn't work.

It dose not matter what gun laws are enacted, I get to keep my all my grandfathered so called "assault weapons" with their unpinned magazines, so no I wouldn't support cause it won't make a difference anyways and I like my 30 round magazines.

No I honestly dont see that anyone has the right to tell me what I can or cant do. As Thomas Jefferson said, " I cannot, No I will not suffer for the whim of the majority". We are all free by right to do what we wish. And if we make bigger guns then that is just what we decided to do.

There are already weapons every where that go outside of your boundaries. The problem is nowhere near this simple to solve. Making restrictions on firearms isn't going to work because the restrictions you want to implement are already beyond broken.

These seem pretty reasonable, and would definitely cut back on theft.
I think early education on rights and responsibilities is where things should begin with regards to rising violence in America.
