I dont understand the deal with getting guns via license It is not that difficult to get a license for it. Just dont be lazy. You also dont get a car without license. It should not be that easy to get it like buying food from supermarket since people will misuse it on accident and not everyone such as a psychopath, people with agression problems etc should get it.
So getting it via license is a good idea. Then there are so many americans that let their guns on places that their kid can reach it. It also can happen so fast and easy that someone get shot on accident. A person who exactly dont know how to use a gun in a proper way will be dead or abused by the criminal anyway since criminals will be very good at using guns. So a gun can't protect you and it even can sabotage you if you dont how to use it in a proper way. This is why a license is important again. And not all guns should be allowed. Why would anyone need automatic firearm for example? If you want to decrease the numbers of criminals the country should develop itself but since america is a "third world country with a gucci belt" I can understand why americans want to own guns so much since they dont trust their government. And what happen when you shot a criminal? Will you end up being in jail since it is difficult to prove whether you use unnecassary power aka murder this person or it was only self defence? I also think Europe should have looser gun laws. In germany, switzerland or other european countries taser, pepper spray, alarm weapons are not fucking allowed and if you hurt the criminal you commit crime even though it was self defence. They are fucking protecting criminals aka perpetrator. At least my country austria ain't that retarded and allowed taser, alarm weapons etc. And i also think minors who are 14-17 should be allowed to use guns to protect itself. I mean a minor can be raped, murdered too abd so they should be allowed to defend themself but unfortunately a minor is not allowed to use pepper spray, taser etc in austria.
If you want to reply to me, please be nice to me. I dont live in america and so i may not understand the situation there and therefore i may be very wrong. I also can't really speak for americans. This is just my opinion
Fuck yes! Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder sold guns to the Mexican drug cartel.
For fuck's sake, if the drug cartel can have them with the blessing of Obama, why shouldn't law abiding citizens have them?
Sure you have that right. You also have all the responsibilities that come with it. If you're a gun owner , that doesn't carry at least a million dollars of insurance (that's not a lot of insurance band it's not that expensive) , you're not being responsible.
Understand, most of my friends are ex or active duty military, they own firearms, none of them are dumb enough walk around with them like some 19th century cowboy.
If I see a guy walking around with a gun I would yell "he's got a gun!!" while running for cover. If this concerns you, makes you nervous about what a stranger would do if that happens. You know how everyone around the idiot with the gun feels!!!
I live in a big city, fire a gun and you'll probably hit someone, and it probably won't be what your aiming at.
Ever come home to a bullet whole in your bed because the guy in the apartment below accidentally fired a shot? Drywall doesn't stop bullets, a child's head in the next apartment might.
This isn't the old west and I don't want to live like that. Guns aren't for "defense" they have one, and only one use. Carry a gun, carry lots of INSURANCE because accidents with a gun isn't uncommon.
Context is important. A guy dressed in camo in a forest hunting deer doesn't concern me. The same guy in the mall is probably ready to go on a rampage. It's not my responsibility to give the weirdo mall gun guy the benefit of the doubt at the risk of myself or my family. I'm going to warn people while going for cover. If you can't go to a place where mom's with babies in strollers walk around without a gun, you should probably be on medication for paranoia. (And probably shouldn't own a firearm)
Half the people on the road shouldn't be driving, yet it's easier to get a gun than a driver's license... You really want that Walmart guy with no insurance, three teeth And five DUIs, who raises pit bulls for a living walking around with a gun?
Because those are the guys who do.
Well one, we have constitutional carry because, well, the constitution. The problem is the government refuses to obey its own laws because well its the government. So I support legal laws (and yes, we have plenty of laws that are illegal).
Now do I support it personally? Absolutely. I think the idea that we would decide that every one is a criminal before they have broken the law to be pretty insane. I think its just as insane as believing that guns make people violent followed by the idea that by making something illegal you an stop criminals from doing it rather then just stopping law abiding citizens from doing it. Their is quite literally no argument that can be made that can explain the idea that we should ban guns, not a single one. So if law protects it, and logic protects it, and statistical data protects it (an estimated two million crimes are stopped per year by "good guys with guns"), and history shows its a bad idea (disarming the public leads to tyranny every time), then their is no argument to say that it would be a bad idea to have constitutional carry.

Of course and hopefully all 50 states implement constitutional carry.
Nope. Matter of fact I want the second Amendment repealed, and all firearms BANNED except for military and law enforcement.
I want the 1st through 5th amendments ABOLISHED and replaced with a rational law.
Example:
1st amendment gives you a fake "right" to be a liar and a false prophet, as long as you don't get caught murdering or raping someone.
2nd amendment is directly responsible for about 99% of all MURDERS in the U. S. and has never once been scientifically shown to reduce the rate or murder or rape in the U. S. in fact, literally 99% of all CRIMES in the U. S. involve the perpetrator having a LEGALLY PURCHASED gun and the victim is never defended by some upstanding citizen with a conceal carry permit.
3rd amendment gives you a fake right to be a criminal as long as you don't get caught.
4th amendment gives you a fake right to be a criminal as long as you don't get caught.
5th amendment is a self-contradiction. When you take the stand, you take an Oath to God to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but then they take the 5th to opt out of speaking the whole truth. This nonsense should be abolished.
The Declaration of Independence outlines both RIGHTS AND DUTIES, not just "rights", and just any CRAP you can conceive of is not a "God given right".
Women:
One of your GOD GIVEN DUTIES is to carry your child to term and raise your child and love your child. you do NOT have a god-given right to abortion, just as citizens do not and should not have a "god-given right" to carry firearms.
What is it with Christians are firearms anyway? Your God Jesus's disciples didn't carry weapons. Only simon peter had a sword among them, and that was borrowed from someone else, a nd then when he tried to use it in defense of Jesus, jesus turne daround and rebuked him for drawing a weapon.
Your Bible says elsewhere that the GOVERNOR has the power of the sword not citizens, and that citizens being afraid of the government is a GOOD thing.
The problem in the United States today is there is no law and no government and people do not fear rulers and do not fear God. That's why crime is out of control.
Guess what? Right and Wrong were never intended to be matters of popular vote. Democracy isn't about voting on what "good and evil are". Democracy is about voting on matters of administration. God already defined what Good and Evil are... and the Declaration of Independence says so.
the problem is the Constitution was written several years later by a different body of leaders and they rejected God, and the United States has gone the wrong direction ever since then... especially with gun violence. The U. S. has had more gun violence than very nearly any nation in the world history, and for what? 99% of that gun violence was preventable by simply banning guns, as it was perpetrated by thugs and outlaws who, if these laws had been written to make any sense whatsoever to begin with, these thugs never would have owned firearms in the first place.
There's a severe irony in the concept of having to pass laws at the state level in order to recognize a pretty crystal-clear amendment in the constitution of the federal government. There was not any limit to it whatsoever at the time it was written, up to and including the biggest and best cannons money could buy at the time.
That said, I agree with "constitutional carry," and if the federal government really wants to start nitpicking at the 2nd Amendment as it is written, then they need to go about through the actual process of amending the constitution. No doubt they could easily get enough support with the squishy and fake conservatives to make some minor changes, but it seems pretty obvious they aren't actually interested in doing things the "legal" way if they don't have to, and the argument against civilian ownership of weapons in actuality has little or nothing to do with public safety and security. If it did, they'd be focusing about 80% of their ban efforts on handguns, and at least pretend to take mental health seriously.
I think that bad people who want to use guns to shoot people, rob stores, etc. aren't going to be worried about gun laws in the first place. Just because you have a law saying they can't carry a gun doesn't mean they're not going to carry a gun. They're criminals. Doing drugs is against the law too but drug addicts do it anyways. Criminals are always going to find a way to do bad things whether laws are in place or not. Good people having the power to carry and protect themselves if something does happen only makes sense to me. I support it.
Gun is just a tool. To put this into context, right now according to FBI crime reports, you are more likely to die by baseball bat, than assault rifle, with the higher number attacks with baseball bat fatalities.
Most of the half who do get shot are associated or near gang fights and the war on drugs. Most of the other half are suicides, many caused by breakups and divorces. That leaves around 2,000 murders a year in regular citizen's. No ban on gangs, drugs or suicides will stop that carnage. we just have to face we live in a very violent society.
That said, for people in the know, understand that there are two nations operating as one. That said, people on the otherside of that want you dead or starving. Every American now has to understand people want to hurt you. Go it as it you like, it embrace the reality that again, we live in a damn dangerous place.
My state has had open carry for years, perfectly legal. We also allow conceal carry in schools and have for a very long time... guess what? no mass shootings have happened in schools. We also have universal carry long time before Texas... and people don't go around shooting each other.
All this fear that people have is bogus, if someone is going to shoot someone as a criminal they won't care what the law says.
I was personally attacked in a parking lot by a knife wielding guy who was attacking a lady. I hear yelling and calls for help just started walking over, not sure what was going on and he came at me and stabbed me. I had to shoot him or I'd be dead.
Constitutional or Open carry doesn't increase crime, it lowers it... who doesn't want to lower crime?
Wherever you see a large congregation of bikers with mullets mulling around with open carry, you don't see maladjusted horny Baptists taking out their aggression on Asian masseuses. You don't see gay Muslims taking out the anguish of their identity crisis on entire bars full of unsuspecting Hersheymen. You don't see gangbangers rallying for "black lives" while ruining everyone else's due to some demonic delusion of it all being a zero sum game. This happens in Cowardland, not Open Carry Country.
Even the MS13 headhunters and rapists are fewer to be found once you do away with Cowardland!
Which means the greatest enemy is none of the scum I listed above. It's neo-feudalist criminal feds, who enforce Clown World and Cowardland under the guise and color of law, to enslave the working class.
I think there should be a background check, and I would also be thinking there should be a TRAINING CLASS, like when it is LEGALLY OK to shoot, in Self-defense, and when it is not! Probably some kind of test, so idiots can't just carry. . .
Oh, wait, Criminal idiots don't obey laws, so adding more laws won't fix the problem, but rather just make it harder for LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS to protect themselves.
Damn it!! If we could just get the Criminals to follow the laws!!! Or maybe enforce the 10,000 laws, already out there!!!
The think with "Gun Control Laws" is that you can pass a MILLION, of those, but those damn Criminals, they just don't obey them!!
And when you restrict the rights of legal gun owners, to protect themselves, CRIME GOES UP, because criminals KNOW your gun is unloaded, and locked up, so when they break in to your house, you can't stop them!!
It's interesting that an amendment to the US Constitution relating to guns was devised as a work around for disbandment of the US military en masse in 1783. Save a handful of guards at key places retained, it left the entire country undefended for a few years. The solution was the formation of local state militias which required the free ability to bear arms.
The thing was when the new and improved Army was formed, the temporary amendment to allow the carrying of guns was never removed. And since then has been has been used to excuse wholesale murder of so many people because folk don't have the will to control guns effectively.
I own a couple of "weapons" myself, not a firearm, though. I say if Europe can have firearm restrictions and still have low criminality, the US can do it too. Not a big fan of seeing "not so developed" people carry guns around. By that, I do not mean Americans, but rather some individuals.
There was a ban on weapons (katanas etc) in Japan during the Boshin war. People were reluctant and argued just the same as Americans do now - voilà, they have a stable and peaceful country. Americans even made them ban their martial set schools after WWII.
If you want a weapon, get a license. My opinion, would be glad if saw only constructive criticism down below.
Guns making you safe is a complete myth, it does the opposite. Only Americans thinking only their country exists, or that it is the greatest on Earth (seriously? There are so many places with less poverty or more chances for you to have a fulfilling life than the US, like almost any European country or their neighbor up North), believe that.
Heck, just look around. Is there a country where more people per capita get killed by guns than the US? (I mean, democratic countries) In Japan, it is incredibly hard to get by guns, you have to be in the police or a Yakuza, basically. People getting killed by guns usually belong to these 2 categories, meaning it is a very safe place for the general population. Madmen who want to go on a killing spree usually resort to using knives. Obviously, they are not quite as successful as their American counterparts.
US gun culture is one of the reasons I didn't pursue job opportunities there.
if Americans want to live like they're still in the Wild West I suppose it's their choice. I don't think too many other developed counties are looking at the USA as a country that's "got it right" on gun violence though.
While I think it's okay to have a weapon for self-protection, work, or hunting, I don't think people really need military-grade weapons. And without a permit? NO. When people use the argument "Guns don't kill people; people kill people" they are contradicting themselves when they think just about ANYONE can carry. This should be common sense, but if someone is gonna own a weapon, they should have proper knowledge about their weapon and the proper skills to handle them.
I also support background checks with the permit because there are some deranged people out there that could be a harm to themselves as well as others. Our Bill of Rights is there to give us certain privileges and freedoms but they shouldn't be used to threaten others.
I guess I support it, people are going to do it regardless. Just make it legal then it won't matter.
I would rather have it where you need to be able to get a ccw to carry a weapon, but that will never be realistic. In my state you only need to be 21 and pass a criminal background test and they will hand you the firearm right then. We have almost zero restrictions to weapons.
Sure! Anything to piss of the SJWs hehe.. even if it does cause more chaos! I despise SJWs with the intensity of a thousand burning suns..
Oh? Did you make the mistake of thinking your petty firearms would be capable of stopping the greatest military in the history of the world?
Don't mind me.. I'll just be watching behind the safety of a screen while you idiots kill each other.. muahahahaha!
In theory, yes. In practice, no.
Let me explain...
In an ideal world anyone could carry a firearm. But in the real world firearms should garner suspicion, especially in big/dense cities where the distance between you and a criminal is more likely to be stabbing range than shooting ranged. People get jumpy, people make others jumpy, and even worse the police would get more jumpy. Say what you will about police interactions but I've got a gut feeling gun owners aren't treated better than non gun owners... and let's not even mention race and how people flip flop on a certain demographic once they hear the individual was armed.
Yes I take mine visibly everywhere I go except the Court House or post office. where I live they are allowed everywhere even churches and restaurants everywhere except schools and government buildings
am totally for he second amendment but somebody needs to keep track of all the guns that are out there. It is unfortunate we cannot really trust the government. Too bad we can't put together another law enforcement agency that is not under the DOJ. and can't used by the democrats to persecute Trump supporters.
I’m so glad I’m from Tennessee and have constitutional carry. As a woman I know I’m safe.
Yes I support it. My state has had constitutional carry since 2017. I’ve been carrying legally (concealed) everywhere except prohibited areas for over two years. I have a permit since I frequently cross state lines.
