If people want to murder, they'll find a way.
On another note Chicago has some of the most strict gunlaws in the country, and still has one of the highest murder rates.
Do you know why it was news that London's homicide rate overtook New Yorks? Because it hadn't happened in any month in about 200 years and it only lasted a couple of months. Since then:
"NYC saw 147 homicides up to the end of June this year compared to London which during that period had 70 - less than half."

Also, way to go New York!

I disagree. I am anti guns because the only reason why there are so many deaths through shootings is the weappn population in the us. I guess most people in the us are not mature or intelligent enough to have a gun. How come that the us is the country with the biggest murder rate?
A person can kill another person with their hands, a spoon and many more things. Guns dont "make" killers, bad parenting and horrible social structure around a child when they're young " make " killers. Guns are perfect self-defense tools. Nothing better out there.
I would say no guns other than sport like hunting or something. We holland don't need guns for other reasons than that. And there are only a few weeks you can hunt so its really taken care of. You americans and your guns and never take of them. Like shooting in schools. And one read about a kid of 5 that found his dads gun and accidently shot himself. It just need to stop.
Should we ban drain cleaner as that kills more children like that?
My personal opinion, which I will admit is not very well-informed:
Yes people kill people... but it's kinda hard to shoot someone if you don't have a gun.
Humans without guns can kill people.
Humans with guns can kill people.
I’m against guns because they are used to harm other beings, I’m against anything that can inflict pain to someone. Guns make it easier to hurt someone, it’s almost impossible to outrun someone with a gun.
As opposed to all the people that out ran that truck in France.
Which is why included ‘Humans without guns can kill people’.
Yes people kill people. Dont blame guns. That being said. Gun laws should be more strict
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.
But I think the gun helps. I mean, standing there yelling “Bang!” isn’t going to kill too many people, now is it?
Gotta be reeeaaaly dodgy on the heart for that one.
Mines been laying on the kitchen counter all day , hasn’t killed anyone yet!
People can get gun through the black market... wether they are legal or not. I totally agree about checking people for guns when they enter an institution or a place with lots of people.
Disagree. I always take that example "once there was a massive shooting in Australia. They banned the guns. There were no shooting again"
Guns make it easier to kill. Guns also make it easier to defend yourself against other people with guns.
Second Amendment all the way.
people have the power, guns are the weapon. Both are dangerous. Removing one danger from the equation sounds good to me. So no i dont support guns
I see people tryna defend a gun like its a knife and shit. A knife is meant to cut foods and items. A gun was made to kill/wound whether it be an animal or a person
You might want to re-consider that argument, since rat poison is also meant to kill, yet is used for good.
Personally (as an economist), I would rather make something an asset rather than condemning something as a liability only. Poisons (like arsenic) can be used for good (i. e. chemotherapy) and good things (anti-freeze) can be used for bad (poisoning people to death).

Hence, detecting people with intent and, then, addressing the cause of their malice seems more effective and to-the-point to me.
@N192K001 guns have no reason to be on earth. people can protect/defend themselves in other ways
True, but who will actually follow the gun-regulation laws? Who will violate them? If a gun-ban were implemented, who will comply? Who will more likely keep theirs?
I agree that guns should never have been invented, mass-manufactured, and distributed across the globe to reach bureaucrats (corrupt or not)' militaries & police forces, responsible citizens, lone criminals, organized crime groups, insurrectionist militias, Wahhabi/Salafi mujaheddin terrorist factions, etc. But, they're already are here. (ex. If my sources are accurate, Mexico has an gun-ban, leaving Mexican citizens defenseless to the drug cartels. Families are left to watch their daughters/sisters/etc get violently raped and even killed in front of their eyes, waiting/hoping the police can/will do something after the fact.) While guns do exist and are in the hands of evil people, laws are needed to allow good people to be armed enough to halt the immoral dastards. At least, that is my view.
Retraction: "If my sources are accurate, Mexico has an gun-ban…"
On closer research, I've found Mexico does NOT have a gun-ban. Perhaps, legal gun-acquisition is too much of a hindrance? Or the culture does not make gun-ownership common enough to terminate the cartel's threat? More investigation is required.
I think the more appropriate statement isn't that guns don't kill people, Americans kill people :)
I'm anti-gun, and I believe pro-gun people are no better than the armed criminals.
yes I agree with this! if you think otherwise... um
Guns don't kill people, people do.
true statement.
pro gun. you bitches are lucky.
a gun is nothing but a tool. if there weren't guns people would still be killing each other with swords
What's really important here besides guns or not guns is what's behind it.. what the liberals really want.. they call themselves liberals but if you think about it they are kinda against freedom... not just about guns but about lots of stuff..
Guns make it easy to kill people. At least that's their major selling point in a society that encourages people to use them against each other. Defend yourself... shoot the other guy first! It's called a pre-emptive strike. God Bless America!
