Yes but the difference is that drink driving is already illegal (well over here it i) and even one proof of drink driving you lose your license, however its too late to take away a gun from a murderer by the time they've killed 1 or more people

Murder is illegal too :shrugs:

Why not? it's my right as an American, protected under 2A.

So lets say we ban semi-auto's, and then there is another massacre, and a bolt action 308 is used. Do we then ban those too? Where does the madness stop? Guns are NOT the problem. People are the problem. A gun doesn't kill someone, a knife doesn't, a car doesn't, a bomb doesn't, it takes a human being to do it, and until we address that, bad things will continue to happen, if we take away guns they'll just use something else.

The sheeple out there need to stop making decisions based on emotion. Any talk about banning guns right now is emotion driven. No logic & reason involved. it's a knee jerk reaction to a horrible tragedy. 11000 people are killed by guns each year, and less than 3.5% of those deaths are caused by long guns (rifles) - an "Assault" weapon ban will do nothing for that rate. Everybody wants to look past the real issues and go after guns.

no he is saying guns are not the problem, people are, ban all guns and people still find ways to kill others, banning guns will not fix the real problem

if you fix the mental health of people thing may change, banning guns wont

Originally posted by hokiefan plain and simple, if you place bans on assault guns or any gun sales, it just keeps them out of the hands of law abiding citizens. come on you mean to tell me if someone who wants to do evil couldn't get their hands on a gun? If anything, it will create an even larger black market for those guns.

We don't have a gun problem in this country, we have a psychological problem.

And Obama ain't just going for guns, his liberal cohorts are trying to pass legislation to make all gun owners that are grandfathered under the new laws to get fingerprinted, registered, etc, etc. Again, do you see the gang bangers lining up at the city office to drop off their fingerprints? shit no.

come the fuck on get some common sense, and a gun. someone will think twice breaking into my house when it says "protected by smith and wesson" instead of "protected by home security system".

Here goes the racist putting Obama in on it! Never fails Hokie, ever!

The question in the country is on assault weapons not all guns. Thats the misconception. No one has said ban all guns. There is no need to Have Assault Weapons in the hands of your next door neighbor. Because 9 times out of 10 IT WILL BE USED IN A CRIME BEFORE ITS USED TO PROTECT THEIR HOME. Most people break in to homes when no one is there so guess what gets stolen? THE GOOD OLD BUSHMASTER!
