Gun Control Is Still Bad

Sorry if I have any bad wordings I am sick at the moment. Anyways you cling to the idea that it would be just as easy to get a gun with gun control place nation wide. You dismiss my ideas by saying I am using buzzwords so I will give you a link to a description. And just because you never asked me for a realistic way for control does not mean the ideas I gave were unrealistic. It helps close loopholes. Gun ranges can be changed so that they must be certified to sell guns. Current DMV's can be used to assist implementing test and starting out, and again it would be monitored so that it changes as people bypass the system. Having a brand new system is not going to be perfect right of the bat. It's not a waste of taxpayer money because it helps citizens out especially those that are suicidal. It doesn't stop people with extremely low IQ, there are folks who are very intelligent, yet cannot pass their drivers exam. Show me the numbers that show gun control ONLY prevents those with low IQ or are mentally ill from getting a gun. >"All serious criminals aren't stupid enough to buy a gun of they have a criminal record, so they launder guns from people who buy them that don't have criminal records." Well that is one of the loopholes we would want to close, even 80% of gun owners agree with closing that loophole. Change and adapt are buzzwords as well? Does the DMV not update their test as needed? Do medical professional need to prove they have continuous education? Change and adapt as in change happens so that the process adapts as people find ways around the system. >"I need a numerical graph or chart showing what you say is true, you can't give me an article where a writer says "gun violence is going down in Australia" and have me expect to take it as true and factual. Next." Did you not see the university studies that I linked that contained the graphs? The sources you gave me contained BROAD crime violence and not gun violence, we are talking about the reduction of gun violence as well as a drop in suicide rates. >"Video games have been used in recruitment tools for the army, but the American military AND the Canadian military both use simulations (aka video games) in their training. Sorry but do some more research." The simulations the military uses is completely different from the games available on the market that the average person plays. >"It's situational like I said, what's so hard for you to understand?" Yes I understand it's very situational they would have to be at there the exact moment the terrorist drew their weapons and hope to draw their own faster and hit. A fun little cartoon for you http://i.imgur.com... Sorry a new sources is not a valid source, Fox news is a widely accepted new company and well fox news is fox news. I want actual numbers like you want from me to back up two of your claims, the first being refugees are raping people and the second that rape did not exist before the refugees came. What I gave you were STUDIES not articles done by universities >"As you see suicides have been on a natural decline since 2002, when the firearms ban was in 1996-1997. So unless you are telling me that in those 6 years that firearm control law somehow changes anything. It didn't. If the drop in 2002 happened in 1997-1998 then perhaps I would agree with you, but it didn't so I don't." The article you gave me were for suicide in general, and even though the firearms control began in 1996-1997 it's not like they received everyone's firearm immediately, take into account that some suicidal people did not give up their firearms it makes sense to see a decline not taking effect immediately. Even though taking apart and putting a gun back together is like legos it still makes it harder than just being able to hand someone cash to get a gun. And you can make a simple fertilizer bomb with fertilizer and a PCP pipe that wouldn't take longer than 30 minutes. A bomb doesn't have to be complicated it just has to go boom >"rare person that could save everyone as a terrorist" "What?.........Word Limit." Sorry what I meant to say was that the person that could make a difference could be shot and killed by someone else trying to make a difference. Gun violence doesn't just stem from criminal activity, it happens by everyday people. Nine percent of Americans report signs of "impulsive angry behavior" (such as breaking things and getting into fights)"and say they own a gun. Drivers who carry guns are 44 percent more likely than unarmed drivers to make obscene gestures at other motorists, and 77 percent more likely to follow them aggressively. Among Texans convicted of serious crimes, those with concealed-handgun licenses were sentenced for threatening someone with a firearm 4.8 times more than those without. In states with Stand Your Ground and other laws making it easier to shoot in self-defense, those policies have been linked to a 7 to 10 percent increase in homicides. Gun death rates are generally lower in states with restrictions such as safe-storage requirements or assault-weapons bans. A recent study looking at 30 years of homicide data found that for every one percent increase in a state's gun ownership rate, there is a nearly one percent increase in its firearm homicide rate. People with access to more guns tend to kill more people"with guns. States with higher gun ownership rates have higher gun murder rates"as much as 114 percent higher than states with lower gun ownership rates. for every time a gun is used in self-defense in the home, there are 7 assaults or murders, 11 suicide attempts, and 4 accidents involving guns in or around a home. A study in Philadelphia found that the odds of an assault victim being shot were 4.5 times greater if he carried a gun. His odds of being killed were 4.2 times greater. With all these facts it's no wonder that 80% of gun owners believe we need better control.
