If I decided to be a criminal today and I wanted to mass shoot, I wouldnt care if its legal or not and I wont give up because guns are illegal. Stricter laws means less people will have access to guns. It means children will not be able to take their parents' gun(s) to shot themselves, their friends, or bring it to schools or shopping centres and shoot people at random. Stricter gun laws will restrict who stores can sell to. It can limit what stores can sell guns. Stricter laws can require background checks, police approval etc. It will effectively limit guns in homes where they do not belong. Illegal weapons will always exist on the market. but gun controls will limit mass shootings. Mass shootings does not generally involve gang shootings but citizens who have gotten their guns through legal purchases (or by taking their parents' weapons). As such, by limiting the options for purchasing guns it will be harder to carry out mass shootings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I choose to use guns for my self defense, I think that should be allowed. I also do not think these restrictions will change anything, it might change accidental killing and possibly suicide, but it wont effect criminals.

We don't have guns in the UK and last year we had 32 gun murders out of a 65 million population. And before you bring up knives, there were 285 knife murders last year. Last year the US had 14,623 gun murders out of a population of 327 million. When guns aren't ingrained in a culture the murders don't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also do not think these restrictions will change anything, it might change accidental killing and possibly suicide, but it wont effect criminals. Not all people need to own guns. In Sweden you have to get a weapons approval from the police to show why you need a gun (hunting, general ownership etc). I don't buy the "I need a gun for self-defence" line. It's no longer the 1800s. A Harvard analysis showed that people defended themselves with a gun in nearly 0.9% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. SOURCE The people who commit mass shootings are most often not criminals before they commit act of terrorism. They are regular citizens who buy their guns through legal means. Stricter laws means they have a harder time buying a gun and in most cases won't be allowed to buy guns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have 'air guns' which fire rubber pellets which can be fatal. It is very hard to get your hands on a gun here in the UK, but they exist End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
