Want to ban guns?

I did. I think that more than thirty children have been killed by the AK-47 and variants alone. cn

30 kids X 5 seconds/kid = 150 seconds

How did you read a 180 post thread in 150 seconds?

My mistake. I thought it said "read this post". Nonetheless the number of children who died at the muzzle of an AK is in the tens of thousands, and the number who died on its icky little bayonet is also large. Unverifiable, of course, but Africa. cn

True, that is where much of the malnutrition is happening too. Many have died by the gun, but most of those cases I don't think are relevant to the current debate. Still the amount of people dying from not enough food is mind blowing. 588 died during the time lapse between our posts. I can't even wrap my head around that.

EDIT: updated number because RIU's time stamps are off.

so you americans agree that ,say n korea have the right to bear ( nuclear) arms , the bad guys have them, so using your same logic, n korea should have the right to protect themselves against intruders who allready have nukes. yet you guys are trying to stop any other country from getting them lol hypocrites much ?
its like the bad guys in america saying that it should be a right that they can carry a gun but the victims can not lol

Don't think those logics are comparable lol.

Blah blah wah wah children died omg!

A child dies of starvation every 5 seconds. EVERY 5 SECONDS. More children have died of starvation worldwide in the time it took you to read this thread than have ever been killed by assault rifles.

Think about it.

This doesn't include children as much as an interesting fact.

More people die from obesity problems than starvation all around the world.

as soon as i get my loan for my garage paid off im getting one of these. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15 friend of mine is a local dealer, legal of coarse. my friends and i go to my parents camp a couple times a month and shoot guns. couple of my friends have some real cool rifles. i have a colt anaconda 9mm and a glock 27 40cal. i also inherited one of these from my grandfather when i was young http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_1851_Navy_Revolver i never shoot it though cause it's so old. where i live hunting is huge. almost everyone grows up with guns especially if you live in the country area. i rarely hunt myself but just like to shoot guns. its expensive but fuck it, i can afford to blow money on ammo. i dont know wtf is wrong with some ppl these days. almost all my friends, relatives and i always had access to the guns. usually not even locked. we just knew to never touch them. then when we got older we knew better to be responsible. its just funny we were 12 year old kids with shotguns and no parent supervision just having fun but being safe. i guess we were just that mature. we didnt have friends that were stupid and would do reckless shit with a gun. everyone just knew better. where did all these fucking stupid people come from? i mean fuck we would never even think of using a gun on another human being unless it was something like self defense. these people really piss me off that abuse guns. i wish all these stupid people would just shoot themselves in the fucking face so they wouldnt ruin gun rights for the rest of us. if ppl dont like guns and dont want to own them thats totally fine, but dont even think of speaking of taking guns away. as far as im concerned the government can go fuck itself and they will have to take my guns over my dead body and im not the only one. i do think we need to make it stricter for the mentally ill. and people with mentally ill family members like these idiots really need to start keeping better track of there crazy relatives or someone should throw them in prison or the psyche ward where ever they prefer. just keep em away from me and everyone else. banning only assault rifles would also be really stupid because you can do a shit load of damage with just a 22 cal. i guess some of these retards that did the shootings did 1 smart thing. they killed themselves so we dont have to pay for them to stay behind bars.

People need to think things through before they shoot other people. Personally I think bludgeoning instead of using a gun would help out the pro-gun case. I mean, if you can do it by bludgeoning, why not?

I mean think about not using a gun, think bludgeoning, choking, stabbing, or some other way to snuff a victim. Using a gun is a quick and easy cop-out and I would never use it unless it was on patrickkawi37.

Alot of old people use guns, they really don't have much of a choice, it's the best way to defend themselves.

I bought 6 ar's before my local gun shop sold out last week. Better get one unless you like paying double for things check out mags on ebay, they are going for ten times normal price. What do we do about the saturated market a Buy Back????

your as paranoid as fox news

im waiting for the guy to say.. "i own a gun cause of 911 and terrorists"

I don't own a gun, but only because I'm poor. Only 25 but never had a gun experience either, have been punched with the butt of a knife tho, would've been different of I had a gun and it's not paranoia as it is just about safety, smart man has been quoted repeaditly, "better safe than sorry".

Buy guns exercise your rights they may be tainted with strict law soon.

i wonder how many people get shot and the shooters standing there adrenalin pumping and they think... fuck i probably shouldnt have done that..

use you words, if that dont work, use your fists.
