Gun laws don't stop gun crime. Murder laws don't stop murder. Should we get rid of murder laws?

Obviously, they aren't working.

It's just another way for Big Liberals in The Government to control us.

We don't need a nanny state.

Stop all these murder laws!!!

Stop all these gun laws!!!!

    Yes we might as well, according to "NRA logic."

    The only thiing that will work is to do what we did 50 years ago. Back then we identified the psychotic antisocial people as children and locked them up in secure mental facilities for the rest of their lives.

    That is the reason that we did not have the type of mass murders that we have today.

    When we interview people who knew these killers, in almost all cases many people knew

    that these individuals were psychotic and a danger to others. we locked them up in secure mental facilities before the could do harm to others.

    That is the reason that we did not have the mass murders that we have today.

    Also, 50 years ago, we had far more people who carried guns and could stop one of these individuals if they did manage to get by the mental health system and attempt to harm anyone.

    I think people are starting to wonder why the public would need military weapons in the homes of the citizens of the United States.

    Having speed limits on our roads are there to make it safer for all of us.

    To argue, we will lose our cars and have to walk would be a weak argument.

    What purpose does having 30 rounds in a clip in a weapon serve?

    weapons must be banned. You people ought to understand which you are the only united states of america who has a habitual difficulty with mass shoot outs, while it quite is thoroughly minimum in each and every united states of america- on the fringe of uncommon, even - and that's because of fact another united states of america hasn't stupidly legalised weapons because of an previous piece of paper categorized "The shape". situations have replaced and of course everybody is going to misuse weapons and there is not something all and sundry can do approximately it until weapons are completely banned. do you prefer to verify extra little ones get their brains blown out? do you prefer to verify people get bullet holes of their guts for in simple terms going out to the community cinema? do you prefer your little ones to strengthen up in a international of gun violence, questioning that it quite is "ok" to p.c.. up a hand gun and start up capturing it love that's a toy? it is not ok, in case you have not picked up on that already.

    Yes absolte power corrupts absolutly. Lets out law gas one gallon of gas has the same distruction as a stick of dynomite. Lets out law knives, they can be used to kill. Lets out law prescription drugs they kill when not used approiatly. People kill people not guns or ect. If we took away guns we would find some other way of killing ourselves. Lets out law the violence in movies television they desensitize killing. Where do we start surly not with guns.

    Same with drug laws.

    The "War On Drugs" has been a monunmental, costly failure, yet any suggestion that pot should be decriminalized brings howls of outrage from the same people who oppose gun control.

    Nobody is suggesting repealing either.

    Oddly some people are suggesting more gun control.
