Gun Control. Watch what happens when guns are banned.
    #22497112 - 11/08/15 06:06 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.



--------------------

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

If those stats about the increase of gun violence since guns were banned is true then I might actually reconsider my position on gun control. As always though, I attribute gun violence in the U.S. more to culture than to legislation.

they're somewhat true, home invasion as Linda Thompson (a conspiracy nutter)
stated, was relatively new and anything oover the first few would certainly
reflect an increase in rates, the simple fact is, australia never had a huge
problem with gun related crime and the gun ban did reduce it somewhat over
the last 19 years but when this video was done the gun crime rates did in fact
increase and since the bun buy back violent crimes and murders have increased,
this gun ban didnt stop gun crimes and it didnt stop mass killings, it simply
changed the tools used

culture plays a large role in these gun crimes but it's not a 'gun culture', it's
a thug culture, the US has a society that perpetuates it, we have music that
glamorizes being in gangs and killing people, we have movies that portray it as
glamorous, the largest factor though is parenting, when daddy is a thug a kid
wants to be like him, when the kids see mom out chicken heading and creating
drama they begin to perpetuate the cycle because they see it as acceptable
behavior, you cant tell a kid 'dont do this' when they see you doing just that

Ok so first of all thanks for the giggle I knew they would be good.
Secondly, as you have proven that you struggle to take conflicting argument seriously! by quoting a paper which backs up my argument?http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/homicide.html
I don't think I am going to waste to much of my time on you.
And to finish it of you have grab a heavily editorialised article from arguably the extreme right of the Australian media, in which they themselves " due to the law not ethics " explain the fallibility of their sensationalist claims.

IMO You don't want to head into this argument with a handful of stats/nails in your coffin . Stick to your ideologies they're harder to disprove.

Cherry picking much......I'll give you one last chance to read it properly(from your source strangely enough).
"Over the past 18 years (1 July 1989 to 30 June 2007), the rate* of homicide incidents decreased from 1.9 in 1990-91 and 1992-93 to the second-lowest recorded rate, of 1.3, in 2006-07. *rate per 100,000 population."
"The percentage of homicides committed with a firearm continued a declining trend which began in 1969. In 2003, fewer than 16% of homicides involved firearms. The figure was similar in 2002 and 2001, down from a high of 44% in 1968."
"The number of murder victims fluctuated slightly from 1993 to 2007, whereas manslaughter remained relatively stable."

it's an easy question to answer, I'm not asking about gun crimes, gun  related
suicides or any of that, I asked a simple, straight forward question

only chance guns get banned in the US is if alex jones turns out to not be crazy and they open up those fema camps

so either way your fucked because if they do take the guns its only to enslave your ass even further

no, you didnt answer the question unless it was when you said this

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22497620#22497620

all you did was post some crap that gave a general overview

but your answer it is pertinent because it relates to my statements

now let me ask, have assaults increased in australia since the gun ban?

how about rape, has rape increased in australia?

didnt armed robbery also see an increase for several years?
something that seems to be once again on an upward trend


have there been ANY mass killings in australia since the gun ban?

I have figured out the big difference between your argument and mine, that is I know what the answers to most of those questions are I am convinced you do not. I also figure that if I were to give you the factual answers to these question, you will come up with some crazy nonsensical shit, and all that after if the above is a guide, not reading my post anyway which frankly would just be a waste of my time...... so ill make this one short and simple yes immediately after the ban they rose. Now riddle me this! has on average both homicide and gun crime decreased post ban?

I know the answers, this isnt the first time this debate has occured and the data
is pulled right from your crime statistics, are you going to tell me that you're
right and the australia crime statistics are wrong? maybe you'll tell us that many
events didnt happen regardless of what the news claims

I suspect you arent answering because you looked and you know exactly what the
answers are and why I asked these questions

This subject for me has not only come up in a fascinating website community, but also as an intrinsic part of my life and an issue that has moulded some of my Higher education choices. The reasons I don't feel an urgency to remedy your ignorance belies my need to help people like you understand that STATISTICS, when looked at without the shutters of preconceived ideologies, DO NOT LIE and absolutely do nothing for the arguments that you are trying to espouse.

Most gun control people aren't talking about making guns illegal. Most of us are advocating for more strict and comprehensive background checks and registration so that there is more accountability. If you are mentally sound and not engaged in shady activity, I think you should be allowed to have whatever firearm you want.

In Canada atleast it already takes an untimely democratic practice to get ahold of guns legally. It takes so frickin' long. Frankly violence is in the culture. Personally it's very easy for me to follow gun laws, studies and stats by subscribing to the Ontario Hunters and Anglers magazine. I have been reading it for over 5 years, and have read older editions pooping at neighbours houses. They have a fairly unbiased opinion, and leave you with the stats and for you to make up your own mind. Stricter gun laws have done exactly NOTHING for Canada except for increase taxes, and I think even worse, yes even worse than taxes, make it harder for honest Canadians to own and enjoy the practices they do with their guns.:gocanada:

Honest gun owners seldomly commit crimes. Its just too difficult already. Take away guns from the picture and then you have bombs, and cars and a many of ways to example violence. People are fuckin' violent in this country and im from Canada, where were easy breezin' people. The people will find a way to blow something up. You just have to deal with it. Guns are also here to stay. You can't move backwards in time. Its done, they've been invented. They will be in somebodies hands. Who's? Hopefully honest gun owners hands, but as long as they exist,  I don't see guns going extinct anytime soon, honest people need to lay hold of them. Its the natural ying to the yang.:peace:

Seriously. The root of the issue is WHAT makes people violent, not what form the violence is. And yes I know you want to depreciate the problem and the violence while it exists, banning guns and making the regulations tougher than they already are, in Canada atleast, doesn't work to accomplish it. It simply doesn't work. Look up the Long Gun Regestry act in Canada if you want a LOL, and see how long of a blazing fire that abomination lasted. Seriously check it out. The smokes still smolderin' from that one and people still can't remember the stink.

Sorry Australia for being the patsy in this experiment. I see the sediment in you reactions, it really was an unfortunate big loss to your already effective gun laws.:yinyang: I hope Canada holds it as an example.

bullshit. if you're not about making guns illegal then will you be willing to fight

accountability for whom, it would seem that most gun control people do not witsh
to blame the criminals for killing but instead want to blame the gun, the gun did
nothing, the criminal did, why not hold the criminal accountable for his actions
as opposed to holding all gun owners accountable which is what these so called
"common sense gun laws" actually do

so I should be able to have one of these



why do gun control advocates always use the same disproved claims about gunshow
loop holes and lack of background checks, have you ever bought a gun at a gun
store or a gun show? I have. the only time I dont fill out ATF background check
forms is when my concealed carry permits is up to date, even if you pawn a gun
that you own and return to get the gun a month later you still fill out those
forms in order to reclaim your guns

I think that you probably should be allowed to own any gun you want based on what I know about you. I think crazy fuckers shouldn't be allowed to, and I think every gun needs to be registered to the owner so that fewer guns end up in the hands of criminals. It's not that complicated. Not much different from how it is now, I just think we need to up the ante a bit for greater accountability.

Whats funny is theres plenty of different sophisticated countries with very different gun laws. Having lots of different particular ordinances. Its a huge spectrum and yet there are always advocates who want a specific demanding change here and there they think will "fix" the "problem". There's simply just not much you can do on with the gun agenda. After you have backround checks and a time limit wait, its on the peoples hands. Fix the root of it all, thats all you can do.:thumbup:

Country after country show it.:peace:

Edit: Common! if the aussies didn't get it right when they took all the guns to the grinder then WHAT!!!! Haha:tongue2:

There is also a spectrum of how common gun violence is in different countries. I would guess there is some correlation between the two.

crazy fuckers arent allowed to own guns, there's actually a law against it, the
problem is the liberal mindset of authority ruining people's lives, "no, dont
have my nutter son committed because it will ruin his life", "the cops ruined his
life because they arrested him for shooting 16 people when he flipped out and
stole a gun and shot up a school"

you mentioned accountability, why arent we holding the parents of these mentally
ill shooters accountable for their inaction when it came too having their kids
institutionalized when it would have barred these mentally ill peoole from owning
guns and prevented a mass shooting, it seems a background check would have helped
saved lives had the parents institutionalized the kids. those parents are the
responsible parties because they either didnt do something about it or they are
the root cause because they payed so little attention to their kid that they
didnt notice he was torturing puppies

tell us how registration stops a criminal from getting a gun, if a legal gun
owner registers his gun, a criminal steals the gun and it's reported stolen,
what happens? do they go after the gun owner? doo they go after him if the gun
is used in a crime? exactly what does the police having a serial number attached
to a gun do to prevent or stop criminal activity?

No, don't be over-dramatic pris.
Obviously I shouldn't be allowed to own a Black-hawk helicopter because the military is allowed to.

Comprehensible background checks, gun-insurance, internet database of gun-owners and the purchase and sale, transactions of gun ownership. ETC.

Just because of a few flaws in the system doesn't equate to a justification of an entire ban on fire-arms.

I don't care what anyone says, our founding fathers established this country with fire-arms and wanted to make sure in the future we would have access to them.

WAIT, before you attack my previous statement read the following.

I am aware that times we're different back then, and America had no standing army, rather a loosely organized collection of militias; however that does not mean that they wanted to discourage the fight against tyranny.
America was founded on that ideal.

I'm obviously not going to sway your opinion on this issue pris. I knew that before I even posted. We could argue this until the end of days but it probably won't get either of us anywhere. My key point is that when most people talk about gun control, we are not talking about taking guns away from responsible, sane citizens.

Solution? Gun Insurance.
Attach a monetary value to a fire-arm and the damage it potentially could cause, and any damage it does in fact cause. Only thing Americans love more than guns is money, so with a potentially hundred thousand bill attached to a simple handgun in the event it is used in a school shooting or other such atrocity would encourage people to practice safer handling of their weapons.

What do you do other than police gun raids on suspected illegal gun owners or something? Really though. I am trying to pry into you.:laugh: The laws with precautions are in place. Good ones, they arn't failing, the people are failing, and its proven trying to take them ALL away doesn't work either, their is no solution on this subject right now.

Neat idea, but I really do hate the idea of making them cost more money essentially. Taxing a person to death has never helped before, and it really doesn't keep them out of criminals hands, which is the problem. And a person who is desperate with  nothing to lose decides to out lash on society, is the one who is dangerous here. Don't make money weigh on anybody more.

We sir are in a conundrum. :yinyang:

here's you a fast history lesson, central american countries have strict gun
laws, of course murder is also illegal yet they have extremely high homicide
rates but we need to ask why, how is it that there are s many gun related murders
and murders in general in that part of the world despite the strict gun laws. Now
for the history... it seems that the largest reason for the collapse of the inca,
aztek and mayan civilizations was their violent nature, some were warring with
each other, some were sacrificing their people to their gods, they had weakened
themselves so much that they couldnt repel the spanish invasion. not much has
changed, their governments are still corrupt and they're still killing each other

now let's look at genetics, many people claim that pit bulls are genetically
violent because they want to blame the dog when it attacks a child, claims that
they were bred for the genetic traits of fighting are quite common and yet they
dont believe these genetic traits would appear in humans, that in the case of
humans it's nurture, not nature that leads some to violence yet when we look at
these violent people we find that they grow up in the same sort of violent homes
which suggests that one or both parents have a violent nature

I'm not a lawyer or a law-maker so this will sound rather rudimentary but I feel it will get an the idea across.

The idea would not add taxes to the sale of the weapon, but rather an agreement that if your weapon is stolen through neglect(lack of effort to lock it up, trigger-locks, etc) and is used in a crime, you are responsible for a monetary value of some percentage of the damage caused.

Like, if your child steals your gun because it wasn't properly locked up in a safe place, and was found to lack a trigger lock and your child then goes and takes it to school and accidentally shoots someone, YOUR responsible for their actions due to a lack of effort for gun-safety.

It would be similar to reckless endangerment laws.

crime even though he committed no crime himself

I have an idea, why dont we hold the criminal accountable for his crimes instead?

That's because I am jumping into the middle of the debate, whatever points we're made previously we're not made by me, making it difficult for me to defend a point I may not agree with.

Right, but the kids not going to be dumb, hes going to figure out a way to get what he wants. Hes desperate, angry and misled, money is only going to confuddle the issue at hand, which is teaching your children good values from the get go.

I think gun owners should be responsible for safely storing their weapons so they don't fall into the wrong hands.

tell us how registration stops a criminal from getting a gun, if a legal gun
owner registers his gun, a criminal steals the gun and it's reported stolen,
what happens? do they go after the gun owner? doo they go after him if the gun
is used in a crime? exactly what does the police having a serial number attached
to a gun do to prevent or stop criminal activity?




Solution? Gun Insurance.
Attach a monetary value to a fire-arm and the damage it potentially could cause, and any damage it does in fact cause. Only thing Americans love more than guns is money, so with a potentially hundred thousand bill attached to a simple handgun in the event it is used in a school shooting or other such atrocity would encourage people to practice safer handling of their weapons.

As I said in a comment after that one was only if the person was found to be responsible of neglect in practicing gun safety. Of course we hold the criminal accountable, don't be asinine.

Trigger locks typically break the trigger mechanic of the fire-arm when forced open.
Locking up your weapon and ammunition up in two separate places also would help reduce the availability of the weapon, and obviously if your child is disturbed keeping weapons in the house is rather a reckless idea.

Monetary compensation for the loss of life is about as best encouragement for better gun-control as I can come up with, maybe in the future I will advocate the entirety banning of weapons but at this point in time I am in favor of legal citizens and their RIGHT to own weapons.

"I have an idea, why dont we hold the criminal accountable for his crimes instead? " I do like that idea.:tongue2:

The real problem to solve here is how to get rid of unwarranted mental illnesses, anger, poverty and frustration.:peace: I know im being far out, but you're simply not going to solve this issue by changing gun laws, only preoccupy people while it still happens.:yinyang:

You guys know there all already stiff precautions... the precautions are actually so extraordinary (atleast in Canada lol), that figuratively only legal gun owners own guns.

:sunny:Shorty:sunny:

@TheNatureKid, I have totally seen my dad use a disk grider to grind off a triggerlock after he had forgotten the combination a couple times:tongue2: He is getting up there!!:sunny:

Probably because of very bad tactical errors and being extremely outnumbered.

You speak of all the native americans being weak and fragmented because of warring against each other. This may have been true in many cases, but the Incan Empire was pretty much at it's peak when the Spaniards invaded. They were pretty much the Roman empire of South America.

so in a sutuation of self defense a persoon should have to run to one location,
open a safe, unlock a trigger and then run to a second location to retrieve
ammunition, then load a magazine and then load the gun, cycle the round into the

I apologize if my information is wrong, I am not perfect. I was under the idea that they did, and if they don't I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to create ones that did. Possibly even inventing new weapons with built in locks or conversion methods for existing weapons to achieve the same principle.

In the event of a home-invasion, I would imagine one would lock their doors, or have other methods of giving one adequate time to prepare for a gun battle. Kick proof doors, reinforced windows. Ideally if your living somewhere where this is a major problem you would exhaust all peaceful methods of deterring an intruder, and if you are wealthy and living somewhere where this isn't a major issue than you would exhaust funding for peaceful deterring methods before immediately loading a gun and shooting someone.

I am in favor of defending your property, if somebody came onto my family's privately owned property with a weapon, I am going to assume they intend to do me bodily harm.

Quit twisting my words, no I advocate insensitive for safer gun ownership.

you've still not addressed my questions

who is to be held accountable and for what?

how will registration of firearms prevent criminals from getting firearms?

The vast majority of gun violence is gang related, why don't we deport the people most commonly associated with gangs?

guns are banned in uk but there are plenty of them about on black market/pub car park. £50 for grenades £200 for m16/ak74.
so banning guns makes them cheaper.
the brits just dont go waving them about in your face all day. they stay buried in the garden until needed.
there is also very low gun crime, mostly perpetrated by african and east european immigrants. and chavvy little scrotes who listen to rap too much and get convinced the 8th of shit bush in their pocket makes them a gangster.
nah, the gangsters speak in a quiet voice.
