How I'd Sort Out Americas Gun Problem?

[purplepoppy]

DISCARD THE CONSTITUTION

Whenever there's a debate about guns people being up the constitution. The logic seems to be, this ancient manuscript says I can have a gun therefore I must get one. Somehow not owning one is unconstitutional and makes you less of an American.
The problem is this was written in a different era, remember you were still burning witches back then, (about a hundred years after the rest of us stopped). In Scotland if you find a dead whale on the beach you have legal right to claim it if you can drag it away with 2 oxen. Do you think people take their oxen to the beach just in case? No, because that would be stupid, you can't base your life on ancient laws.
By scraping guns from the constitution you break the link in people's minds between being a true American and guns. It also let's you control who has guns.

STOP TEACHING KIDS THAT THE British ARE COMING BACK

Yeah we know you do it. The big bad British want to come back so you better be ready. Well here's the thing, shortly afterwards we had a gigantic war with France thanks to napoleon. Do you think we have guns under the bed incase the French invade? And then there's Germany, we had a couple of whopping big disagreements with them but we don't mention the war.

Oh wait we've still got cannons along the coast in case Napoleon comes back.

America needs to stop living in fear of a imaginary boogeyman who's about to pounce the minute you give up your guns. It's nothing more than a marketing method by gun salesmen. DeAmericanise guns.

Is this how you really want the world to see you

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VALID REASON YOU CAN'T OWN ONE.

Guns aren't toys. They're tools to do a specific job. Hunters, gamekeepers, pest controllers, farmers, competitive shooters all have valid reasons for owning guns that are specific to their needs.
Owning one because the constitution says you can is not a valid reason. Owning one because you don't like the look of the guy across the street isn't a valid reason. Neither is wanting to be a big man or nonsense about self defence. This is the key difference between UK and USA gun laws. It's incredibly easy to get a UK gun licence if you have a VALID reason but if you want one because your scared a guy will pick a fight down the pub they'll turn your application down.

TO GET A LICENCE YOU NEED TO SHOOT AN ANIMAL AT POINT BLANK RANGE.

If you have a valid reason for owning a gun you shouldn't have any qualms about doing this. But I guarantee it will put off the majority of people who want a gun to boost their egos or think they need one for self defence. If you can't put a gun to a calfs head, look it in the eyes and pull the trigger do you really think you could kill someone? No, then why have you got a loaded one in your purse.

MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO HANDLE A GUN IF YOU'RE EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED

Triggered? Put down that gun before you hurt someone

If you're angry, upset, grieving or just got PMT you shouldn't be allowed near a gun. Guns are dangerous and shouldn't be handled by people in the wrong frame of mind and not thinking clearly. I know this would be hard to police but it would allow the police to remove firearms from people who's behaviour raises concerns.

DEPOLITICALISE GUNS.

Guns are like MAGA caps and Trump flags, they're an accessory to show what a good obedient republican conformist you are. The problem with making anything a left v debate is people stop looking for solutions and blindly follow the political line. Americas gun laws need to be looked at by a politically neutral body.

INCREASE THE SENTENCE FOR ANY CRIME IF YOU HAVE A GUN

It doesn't matter if you used it or not, the fact is you took it with you with the intention of using it. If you go shoplifting and have a gun you must have taken it to shoot the store security guard. Increase the charge from shoplifting to armed robbery. This will discourage criminals from having guns.

CASH FOR GUNS

Hand in a gun get free cash no questions asked. This not only gets rod of guns lying around the house but encourages criminals to steal each others guns for nice easy money. I'd also go as far as letting them use guns as tokens to wipe the slate clean of minor crimes. This wouldn't remove all guns but the less in circulation the better.

A HOUSE TO HOUSE COLLECTION

Yes it can be done, after all you get your mail delivered everyday don't you. It wouldn't be hard to organise. Anyone not complying could be hit with a massive fine or a prison sentence. And forget all that "out of my cold dead hands" crap because that's threatening to murder public officials and proof your not mentally stable enough to own a gun.

So there you go, America sorted. Would it stop the killing? No, buy it would reduce it a hell of a lot.

[theothersider]

Trust me when I say. ain't noooooo American afraid of the British, lol. But you do hit on some interesting facts about gun crime. In a average year there are around 10 thousand gun murders in the USA. Of those 8-9 thousand of them are usually Black on Black inner city gang murders. https://www.statista.com/statistics/249803/number-of-homicides-by-firearm-in-the-united-states/ In the united states we do not have a gun problem. we have a gang problem The USA has 33 thousand gangs. 12 thousand of those are considered to be some of the most dangerous in the world. All while our justice departments are going ever softer on crime. The average Black on Black murder with see the perp do 10-20 years in prison with usually less than 10 served for first time offenders and good behavior and the like.

Well T. O. S I hear you say, get rid of the guns and you will get rid of the tools they use to commit these murders... not likely. Disarming the law abiding citizen in the USA does little to disarm the criminal element. even if the USA banned every single gun tomorrow. there is not enough law enforcement in the world to confiscate every single known gun in the US... I say known because there is thought to be over 450 million legal guns in the USA. There are thought to be at least half as many that are not serialized or entered into the system legally (guns that come across the border ) there are also 10s of millions of guns on the illegal black markets ( the guns that do most of the killing in the US) That have been stolen from LAGO's that common sense gun reform or gun confiscation would not touch.

Yeah but at least we will stop the Mass-shootings, right? This is a problem that is unique only to the USA right? Noooo little grass hopper. The USA ranks 64rd in the world for mass shootings. https://crimeresearch.org/2018/11/new-cprc-research-mass-public-shootings-are-much-higher-in-the-rest-of-the-world-and-increasing-much-more-quickly/ not only are MS much less frequent in the US but also far less deadly per event. Namely due to the fact that police or a LAGO is there to quickly stop a mass shooter.

Much like this woman who just recently stopped a massshooter... yet the media does not want to touch this story with a 10foot pole because this is waaaaay more common than shoot and mass shooters. https://www.wral.com/armed-woman-stops-wv-mass-shooting-police-say/20305395/

[Anonymous]

Doesn't take a genius to work out that if a crazed lunatic that wants to make the world pay can't get an AR15 with 30-100 round magazines that shoots 5.56 and they have on their person 30-600 rounds of ammunition that there's the possibility of 600 or more deaths.
The US is in the top ten with almost the third world countries for murder rates. The majority of murder in the US is committed by a firearm.

P. s we British are cumming, hard.

[Juxtapose]

But nobody wants to talk about where most of these shootings are actually happening and which group of people are killing each other..

[exitseven]

I never had any interest in owning firearms until this year. I no longer feel safe in my environment. My next door neighbors house was broken into while I was recovering from surgery. The police are being defunded and cops are retiring in record numbers and nobody wants to be a cop anymore. I am also concerned that maybe next year it will be illegal to own a firearm.
There are already laws on the books designed to get unlicensed firearms off the street. They are not enforced because 99% of the people who will be arrested are gang members so it would be racist. The Constitution allows for gun ownership to maintain a well armed militia. This militia is designed to protect citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic including the government. It is eerie how prophetic the Constitution is.

[DCooper]

I see a lot of people reacting as if getting rid of the US Constitution would somehow make it illegal to keep and bear arms. Maybe in the Californias and New Yorks it would, but who cares? The rest of the states would be free of their influence.

You see, the US Constitution isn't *just* the Bill of Rights. It's the document that gives a federal entity the right to exist and govern. Without it, DC would just be another deep blue hellhole in Maryland. I doubt Virginia would want their half back.

[exitseven]

@DCooper good point. nobody ever talks about it but I suppose it is true.

[lightbulb27]

excellent points.

[Twalli]

The war with Napoleon was never in doubt. No country had the naval might of Britain. Everyone knew that, that's why he was an ally with Spain, because he knew that alone his navy was insufficient. With the exception of one major naval battle all the battles against Napoleon were fought on mainland Europe, not the island that is Britain.

[purplepoppy]

There was a battle on British soil a few years earlier in 1797 Fishguard during the war of the first coalition. Fortunately they got drunk and were rounded up by the local women

[Kilapan]

Well there were several wars, generally won by Napoleon. The United Kingdom was the one that supported them financially, but they were waged mainly by Austria, Russia and the Spanish rebels.

[Anonymous]

Dear God, lets try to unpack this.

"DISCARD THE CONSTITUTION" of course a brit would say this. And of course a Brit would want to impose their world views on a former colony... of course.


"STOP TEACHING KIDS THAT THE British ARE COMING BACK" we don't we literally mock the Brits. We aren't afraid of a now tiny, frail, almost irrelevant nation on the world stage that can't sustain itself due to lack of natural resources and land. It's more of a "ffs here we go with Brit again. Gonna get their nose stuck in the door of our business ONCE MORE.


"Oh wait we've still got cannons along the coast in case Napoleon comes back.
America needs to stop living in fear of a imaginary boogeyman who's about to pounce the minute you give up your guns. It's nothing more than a marketing method by gun salesmen. DeAmericanise guns." We talk about it in regards to China and for some, Russia. But no one is afraid of the UK. It's an Island screaming Nanny State cuckery in the eyes of many. Not just Americans. I have friends in throughout Europe and that's the general consensus. That pretty much the UK followed by Sweden and Germany are the most cucked nations on Earth.

"Is this how you really want the world to see you" Honestly? Why in this great and vast land of ours would we give a sh*t about how the rest of the world sees us exactly? Legit question? The major players in the world are the US, China, and Russia. So people can either do business with us or them, and I can promise you we treat our friends better then those nations by a long shot (Biden's debacle in the Middle East not withstanding).

"IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VALID REASON YOU CAN'T OWN ONE.

Guns aren't toys. They're tools to do a specific job. Hunters, gamekeepers, pest controllers, farmers, competitive shooters all have valid reasons for owning guns that are specific to their needs.

It's incredibly easy to get a UK gun licence if you have a VALID reason but if you want one because your scared a guy will pick a fight down the pub they'll turn your application down."

Aside from the obvious one you hate here's a few others: dangerous neighborhoods, rapists, druggies, dangerous homeless people (just a few weeks ago 3 tried to swarm my woman), stalkers, and overall general protection. Most American gun owners are not in trouble with the law, that's a fact. You don't even know what it takes to get a concealed carry license here, how far you can go with it, the ways in which you can and can't carry, etc, the training requirements, etc. Basically what you are saying is "your life isn't worth protecting. If you die, you die. At least I can feel safe in the shadows THINKING you won't still carry a gun anyways."

"TO GET A LICENCE YOU NEED TO SHOOT AN ANIMAL AT POINT BLANK RANGE.

If you have a valid reason for owning a gun you shouldn't have any qualms about doing this. But I guarantee it will put off the majority of people who want a gun to boost their egos or think they need one for self-defense. If you can't put a gun to a calfs head, look it in the eyes and pull the trigger do you really think you could kill someone? No, then why have you got a loaded one in your purse."

Another terrible argument. "Kill an animal for the sake of killing" Why? No one wants to kill unless necessary but yes I have killed animals in the past. Your point? when the threat of death is on the table you change. Ask soldiers drafted during wartime. You do what you have to do to survive. And then if the person won't use the gun then why are you so afraid of them having it? This is an asinine argument.

MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO HANDLE A GUN IF YOU'RE EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED

Triggered? Put down that gun before you hurt someone
If you're angry, upset, grieving or just got PMT you shouldn't be allowed near a gun. Guns are dangerous and shouldn't be handled by people in the wrong frame of mind and not thinking clearly.

LMFAO! OKAY! Ask the MILLIONS of socialists who also have guns for protection, hunting, recreation, etc. Apparently you know jacksh*t about gun owners in our country.

this is why foreigners shouldn't speak on things they dont understand. they dont know our culture, just assume from the BBC...
"INCREASE THE SENTENCE FOR ANY CRIME IF YOU HAVE A GUN

It doesn't matter if you used it or not, the fact is you took it with you with the intention of using it. If you go shoplifting and have a gun you must have taken it to shoot the store security guard. Increase the charge from shoplifting to armed robbery. This will discourage criminals from having guns."
Really? You don't know OUR criminals over here too well...

You're absolutely high as a kite if you think that's stopping squat. Many mass shooters seek dying in a blaze of glory FYI. Some surrender, many do NOT.
Also tell us how you'd enforce these laws when they won't comply and just shoot back.

"CASH FOR GUNS

Hand in a gun get free cash no questions asked. This not only gets rod of guns lying around the house but encourages criminals to steal each others guns for nice easy money. I'd also go as far as letting them use guns as tokens to wipe the slate clean of minor crimes. This wouldn't remove all guns but the less in circulation the better."

lmao yo I love when you guys do this. I get rid of sh*tty guns I dont like that i got for a steal and use the money to buy new ones. Thanks! (by the way gun buy backs are a running joke among the gun community. We use it to make money with guns that are beyond repair or won't fire. GG

"A HOUSE TO HOUSE COLLECTION

Yes it can be done, after all you get your mail delivered everyday don't you. It wouldn't be hard to organise. Anyone not complying could be hit with a massive fine or a prison sentence. And forget all that "out of my cold dead hands" crap because that's threatening to murder public officials and proof your not mentally stable enough to own a gun."

lol okay, go down south and try it. Yes it is mentally sound. It's literally government enforced robbery. But you are too brain dead to see the forest for the trees. This is why it's best if you all stay in the UK, where you belong.

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

Here is something interesting. If you want to get rid of the constitution did you know you have the right to do so? ANd it was actually tried.
Here is the bill of rights.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government …

Did you notice that we can abolish a government that is oppressing us? So if the constitution is not working out we can do something about it. How? A strongly entrenched government of people who are well entrenched living high off the backs of others is not going to just roll over. Do you think there might be a struggle to do so? You bet. So what do you think is in the constitution that gives you a little more power to accomplish that? Could it be in the second amendment somewhere?
The right to bare arms is not about hunting. The good reason you talk about is always present. And even more so today. Not only crime but crooked government threatens us. If Ukraine had their right to bare arms do you think the US would need to be putting guns in the hands of 18 year old kids, and for what purpose?

Its far to narrow minded to think this simply on the topic. A far broader look really needs to be taken to truly grasp the meaning of the 2nd amendment and the right to bar arms.

[jasco]

Some of your points, i agree with. Others not so much. DISCARD THE CONSTITUTION, I agree. Reason being because it is old. STOP TEACHING KIDS THAT THE British ARE COMING BACK, Disagree because most people who own guns don't do this because its stupid. They actually do say that the government may try to be more of a dictatorship so as to fight against the government or any other foreign government they need guns. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VALID REASON YOU CAN'T OWN ONE, I agree and disagree. While I understand the thought behind this, its pretty easy to lie about something in order to get what you want so eh who knows. TO GET A LICENCE YOU NEED TO SHOOT AN ANIMAL AT POINT BLANK RANGE, most men can do this, women not so much unless they grew up with killing animals so in short it would stop a lot of women from getting a gun which in today's world that is actually bad. Most women don't practice MMA so they can't defend themselves without weapons. MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO HANDLE A GUN IF YOU'RE EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED, 100% agree. DEPOLITICALISE GUNS. this till never happen but I agree. INCREASE THE SENTENCE FOR ANY CRIME IF YOU HAVE A GUN wouldn't work nor would it matter to criminals. CASH FOR GUNS I agree with this. A HOUSE TO HOUSE COLLECTION people will fight this a lot, at least give them cash in exchange for it cause its quite pricy to buy guns

[Anonymous]

is that your take on abortion as well? A woman shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion until she's watched on the x-ray screen as she herself dismantles the baby inside of another woman? You want her watching as the "fetus" moves and tries to avoid the pole that each woman is using to "disassemble" a living thing? You're a sick f*ck. 🤮

The thing is, we fought for that Constitution. We're not just going to give it up because a nerd across the pond thinks she knows how other people should live their lives.

The boogey man you speak of, reared its ugly head during covid. I saw a man beat to shit by POLICE at the beach in Australia because he wasn't wearing a mask. I saw people locked up in concentration camps because they "tested positive" for a virus with a 99.8769797979 survival rate, and a 50% inaccuracy rate of tests. I saw people attacked by police for peacefully protesting the government not allowing them to open their family business and feed their children, while the police and businesses the "state" had their hand in, were allowed to remain open. I also saw a woman arrested for posting things on the internet that dared to be her own opinion, and not that of the authoritarians running Australia.
And I even saw public outcry from "vaxed liberals" to lock up the unvaxed in our own concentration camps that the government BUILT, and send government operatives door to door to try and "convince" people to get the vax. All pretty Nazi-ish shit.

This is actually the most inaccurate post you've ever made, and I bet you're damn proud of it too. 🤡

[GatewayRealm]

These Criminals Will always Have the right to Abuse and charge others. There’s not going to be some Revolution against The Armed Criminals. There just Big badass Criminals that get to do what they want.

[bean2k21]

Americans prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery, my friend. 246 years ago, 15 geniuses born within 150 miles of each other collaborated to begin what was a great experiment. It was an experiment in democratizing the goodness of human nature and in prioritizing the sovereignty of the individual. When the Fathers wrote the Constitution, they divided and dispersed power, making it impossible for a single person to gain too much. It took 150 years for Europe to catch up to this. But I wonder, is your so-called democracy but a mere gesture intended to placate you? As Goethe said, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

[t-8900]

Something the Brits will never understand. It's why we broke off from them.

[bademoxy]

so in your view, dictatorship takeovers and population invasions have both stopped existing NOR can either event start becoming a threat in the future, after of course you've managed to disarm over half the U. S. population by coercion (which WOULD require dictatorship/martial law) without triggering a civil war which would effect every nation on this planet. Think collapse of the Roman Empire = Dark Ages. As violent as the Roman Empire was , they still brought stability, laws, civil development and many cultural goods-unlike for example the Mongols who wrought nothing but death and destruction. the world's FLAWED because humans are FLAWED. It will never be perfect.
Your type of solution would cascade into a "final solution".
How about-Americans who don't want constitutional rights should just LEAVE.
there's plenty of shitholes they should go where there's NO rights.

[NYCQuestions1976]

The issue at hand has nothing to do with the Second Amendment, legal gun ownership, or the British "threat". It's a myriad of other issues. It started with the defunding and shutting down of "involuntary" mental health facilities that began during the 1970s in the United States. Just about all of them were gone by the mid 1990s. So it's no surprise that Columbine happened in 1999, and it's gotten progressively worse since then. Now you also have the increasing "allure" of the copycat effect the more it happens, and the addition of social media. Nearly two years of pandemic shutdown didn't help either.

[MrTaboo]

See, a brit bitching about guns in america... hmmm.

First, we don't care what bits think about out gun laws. Because you gave yours up and now knife/sword attacks have risen to take the place of guns so much. Your bobbies are proud to confiscate scissors from schools.

And we don't care about the British coming. We k ow you're not. Because you're not a strong enough military anymore.

We are worried about our own government. And as covid lock downs proved. We should be.

We I was growing up all of us guys brought guns to school. We had them in our trucks. Some even brought them into school to do a "how to" speech on them. We went hunting before school and after school. So did teachers.

It's not a gun problem. It's a discipline, fatherless homes, and lack of strict prison sentences.

[Intothevoid666]

I think the average person should just stop talking about politics because they know nothing about it. The average person should read more about politics and speak less on it. That’s my opinion. Unless ur really educated on the topic and/or really intelligent u just shouldn’t say anything about it. Cuz it slowly has just become a circle jerk of people who don’t know what they are talking about and it’s infectious and ruining our society. This is why I no longer support democracy. It’s basically giving a monkey a microphone

[monorprise]

We got a lot of reasons for wanting guns, fear of a British invasion is not high on the list.

Generally on the top of the list is:
1: The need to deal with criminals when you can't count on police showing up in a timely manner if at all.
2: The need to deal with an oppressive Government federal or State.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Problem is the police have no legal obligation to protect us. The US is setup in such a way we are meant to protect ourselves, the police investigate later.

Where I live police are up to 90 minutes away, the sheriff. Cell phone service is okay on a sunny day, but when it gets rainy, snowy... its spotty.

If someone is trying to break into my house, what am I suppose to do while I wait forever for a officer to show up?

[NathanDavis]

we don't care about each other in America

we just don't... that is the truth

everyone is on their own, that's why there's many guns around...

we can say all we want over and over say that yes, we care of course... but we do not

give it a few more days, or till the Depp and Amber trial flares up, and we are all going to move on

generalizing, of course

[Anonymous]

I really can't take someone seriously who all they do is post skimpy photos of themselves looking for attention and then calls for guns to be taken away from everyone while criminals still have them...

Does not make any sense and you can't reason or think with logic that is apparent

[OldWorldOrder]

You mean you don't think 22 year old sluts should run society? 😱 SEXIST!!!

[Opinion Owner]

@OldWorldOrder I know that you are joking. But no I don't. I think that they are the ones degrading to women and then to act like most women are like them... When that is simply not the case by calling me sexist as if I hate ALL women.

No I just don't like them. The same as I don't like most of the people posting photos man or woman I don't care some of which look underage and are narcissistic and think WAYYYYYYYYYYYYy too highly of themselves.

[Opinion Owner]

@OldWorldOrder A woman who carries herself with dignity and has morals is WAY more attractive to me

[goaded]

Fckn'A! My preferred approach is to have two people undertake to serve half of whatever sentence you get for any crime involving a firearm before you can own one. That might make people actually think about whether someone's stable enough to own one.

[schittywok]

Everything you just said does not help your side. It just reinforces everything on my side. Live in my neighborhood. Live the lifestyle. It means everything. We still have unlocked door policies. Do you have that? No, you don't. And you live in a place that does not allow peace. But you are superior.

[schittywok]

And again, you live in the UK allegedly. We will not be those places. Name the 1st world's, US is still number one. Stick it up your hash pipe. We fight against communism.

[888theGreat]

You might being from Fag England

You would also make prostitution legal

You would outlaw Conservatives

You would not allow free speech

You would also outlaw church and religion

You would not allow traditions

You would do away with military

Once again, I'm reminded why the Brits are some of the most hated people in the world. Butting into affairs that are not their own, promoting tyrannical tendencies and forcing conformity.

This is why almost all your ex-colonies have told you to fuck off.

[Anonymous]

Just what American needs. More people living in a tiny country across an ocean telling us how to live our lives.

We killed you people for that. We shot you in the head and ran you the fuck out like the bunch of marys you are. And now you want to tell us how to govern our country?

Lets just say it’s good you have an ocean separating you from the people you believe you can “help.”

[WhiteBoyChill]

If it wasn’t for our help Britain would have been wiped off the face of the Earth by Germany.

[Anonymous]

Then who gets to decide what those “valid” reasons are? I weigh 120lbs and live in a relatively high crime urban area. My concealed carry weapon is with me at all times. I’ve committed no crimes with said weapon. Why am I not valid? Also, tougher sentencing has never been shown to reduce crime. Not only is it not a deterrent, it actually increases the rate at which people reoffend, so we’re not really safer in the long run. That’s an antiquated concept.

Americans have short memories.

In Wisconsin, people were mowed down by a racist black guy in a SUV at a Christmas Parade.

Guns aren't the problem. Criminals are!!
