Well, it looks like the regular idiot crew decided to start talking out of their asses. So time to lay out some fact.
Gun control will not curb gun violence or deaths. Which one of the over
70,000 gun laws already in effect stopped the recent school shooting? Which one of those laws was it that stopped the beltway snipers? Laws only effect the law abiding. Career criminals could give two shits about what is legal or not for them to be doing. More gun laws simply increase crime as it disarms the law abiding public, making them easy sheep to defrock.
However, fewer gun laws in fact
does reduce crime. This correlation is very clear from FBI crime statistics. Every single state that has enacted shall issue CCW laws has had an immediate drop in crime. This is fact. Every state that has enacted castle doctrine has had their home invasions, robbery, domestic violence, and rape crimes drop to half of what they were. This is fact.
Citizens with firearms prevent 2.5 MILLION crimes each year. Almost 7000 times a day someone with a gun (not a cop) is able to prevent a rape, murder, kidnapping, or other violent crime. What is a criminal’s biggest fear? In study after study it is always one thing. Not cops, or jail time; it is always armed citizens.
Of the crimes committed with firearms, 77% of those guns were stolen. It doesn’t matter if a criminal could have bought it even if he wanted to. He would simply steal it. As said earlier, gun laws only effect the law abiding.
You can not compare the US to culturally dissimilar countries. Japan has almost zero crime, correct. But then again Japan has almost zero crime of any nature. Japan is a very servile, caste oriented society; 180 degrees from America. If you want to compare America with another country you compare it to one of similar culture. In England in Ozzie land when guns were all but banned rapes, murders, home invasion, and violent crimes skyrocketed. Criminals flocked to England to take advantage of the disarmed populace. Where as in Sweden where every adult male has a fully automatic military rifle in their house, they have one of the lowest crime rates in the EU. Hell even Canada since their gun enactments of 77 has had their murder rate steadily increase as well.
Per capita the US murder and violent crime rate has been continually dropping. As more and more states (aside from Kommiefornia) enact shall issue CCW, the trend of the late 90s, crime continues to decrease. This is FBI crime stat FACT.
Now I know some people like to talk out of their asses about what the US should and shouldn’t do. But then these people are either high school drop outs, or foreigners that know dick about America. America was founded by a group of revolutionaries with a distain for the government. The second most important thing to them after free speech was firearm ownership. Let that sink in for a second. Right after they created a law that people are allowed to say whatever they want, they made it black and white that citizens should NEVER be disarmed. It was more important to them than making sure the government couldn’t forcibly throw you in jail for no reason, or randomly take your house, or trial by jury, or any of the other amendments. There is no need to interpret it, it’s very clear. Here is what they had to say about it:
"The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference; they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." ~ George Washington.
"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." ~ Alexander Hamilton.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property." ~ Thomas Paine.
"Americans need not fear the federal government because they enjoy the advantage of being armed, which you possess over the people of almost every other nation." ~ James Madison.
"Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks." ~ Thomas Jefferson.
"The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun." ~ Patrick Henry.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes" ~ Thomas Jefferson Wow, who would have guessed?
"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." ~ George Mason.
"The said Constitution be never construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams.
"But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible." ~ Hubert Humphrey.
Now this one is just for all the socialist tards out there.
"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia', the 'security' of the nation, and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms', our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be important."
~ John F. Kennedy. That’s right, your lefty hero that started the Vietnam war and the Cuban missile crisis.
America was founded on the Don’t Tread on Me ideals. Understand that before you talk. Or… Try having a government that doesn’t completely recall every politician because of fraud and corruption, before you talk about the US. FYI, that was directed at Canadians for their recent entire government reelection SNAFU.
There are some people that are so stupid as to think guns cause racial oppression (they were shut up pretty soundly in the gun thread). But then again these are the same retards that think it’s okay that an 80lb woman doesn’t need a gun because she can just karate chop that 280lb multiple rapist with a knife, and she’ll be fine. Or that because you have never needed a gun, in your isolated existence in bumbfuck sibera; it means that no one else anywhere needs one either?
I simply ask, what’s the deal? Still living in mommy and daddies house, sheltered from the world? Or is it a learning disability? What could actually prompt someone to spout such nonsensical tripe? I’m seriously wondering what could make some little shit still in high school living with mom in dad in a totally different country; think that he actually knows his ass from a hole in the ground about American government, or even American culture? It has to be some sort of cognitive learning disability, that’s the only reason that could explain so many retarded ass comments.
