Tove Lo 2,481 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 There would be less crimes without the easy access to guns. Maybe SOME less crimes, but many less defensless people who are being attacked in the crime. Plus people love hunting and hunting helps keep the population of deer at a good number. There are downsides and upsides. hop on that **** like a maniac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,654 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nobody has guns in Europe and we don't feel defensless. There are gun owners in Europe, but THIS. You don't need so many guns available to feel "safe" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,654 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nobody I know personally has one. Yeah, but there are gun owners in Europe. I don't know anyone who owns one either (and I live in the US) but that doesn't meant people don't own guns. I was reading some article the other day and there's 7,000,000 guns in Germany alone.

teo 609 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nobody has guns in Europe and we don't feel defensless. This. And I can't at the "they can get them illegally" argument. Like no they can't, guns are not d--gs it is extremely hard to get one. It's not like in the movies where you go to some random dark alley and get one from the car trunk of the illegal guns dealer. Having them just gives you a false sense of security and most importantly it creates the mentality that shooting someone is normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 9,227 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Okay can we also have a chart for sharp objects and blunt? :-) You're avoiding the topic at hand. Why not have also have a chart for car crashes while we're at it? This subject is about gun crime, and the chart makes it clear as day that the USA's lack of gun control and regulation has a very obvious effect on the number of fatalities. This.

The very fact I'm having to explain to somebody that a lack of gun control is bad is beyond me. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

Ikr? :haha: Where I live people are afraid of guns, I know no one owning one. There's this one person which has a gas pistol(it's non-lethal) and whenever he mentions it people go like "wtf are you going to do with it?!".lol I can't imagine living in a place where having a gun is normal, let alone these people who own an arsenal for a small army in their garage... Like are you living in a war zone or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The number of children and teens killed by guns in one year would fill 134 classrooms of 20 students each. • One child or teen died every 3 hours and 15 minutes • Seven children and teens died every day, more than 20 every three days • Fifty-one children and teens died every week Nearly three times more children and teens were injured by guns in 2010 than the number of US soldiers wounded in action that year in the war in Afghanistan; 82 children under five died from guns in 2010, compared to 55 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. US children and teens are 17 times more likely to die from a gun than their peers in 25 other high-income countries combined. US children and teens made up 43% of all children and teens in these 26 countries but were 93% of all children and teens killed by guns. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/10/guns-kids-casualties-america FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
