IsaacIt's funny. People act like guns can kill people. This is completely wrong. It is the person behind the gun that is the killer, not the weapon

Stillthatbritishpanda🐼In Canada we have gun laws...

emraldYE100% FOR guns. It's a right of the American people.

🎩Banter🎩yeah let everyone have guns its the right of the people!! "Every man has the right to bear arms" Even the crazy people and murderous goons who are suicidal. But hey, it's their right as americans to have a gun

💭Glader💭FPS🎀|SES🐯the world would be a better place without guns

Serpentine@Isaac Yes.

Serpentine@Sara🐯💜🎶🍍 No, because people could just kill with other weapons. It's statistically shown that nations without guns have more murders, because people have no defense.

NotoriousOh my goooodddddd. Guns aren't the problem. It's the people. If you have a gun in our store, who is going to want to rob you? If you have guns in your home and have educated your family about them, who is going to rob you?

NotoriousDon't let mentally insane people get their hands on guns. Simple as that. There is nothing wrong with a tool as long as you use it appropriately.

🎩Banter🎩Look up Jim Jeffries view on gun laws and it basically sums up my argument. Btw he is a comedian and makes fun of American attitudes to guns

NotoriousGuns are used for much more than killing people. They are used for sports as well. Skeet shooting. Target practice. Guns can be used for protection as much as they can be used for harm.

🎩Banter🎩but you have nothing to protect yourself from if the other people cant get their hands on guns

NotoriousHandguns should be in every sane person's home at least. But an AR-15, although gorgeous, should only be given to those than can be trusted more than others. Like someone who has been in the military or worked as a police officer.

NotoriousIt's already used as a military weapon anyway. And I think if there were tighter grips on bigger and better guns that could cause more damage, that would be better.

NotoriousALSO for all the asswipes that like to shoot up schools and church's.... Instead of losing their minds, people need to learn how to defend themselves. Disarm a person with a gun. How to persuade them to not use it. Something to not die.

NotoriousOur children are so uneducated about 'weaponry' and this is a serious problem. If people want to stop all the nonsense, talk to the youth about it. Watch them grow. Simple as that.

🎩Banter🎩or instead of spending money on training everyone to deal with nutjobs. Which would just prepare nutjobs for what they would face, just make guns illegal and the psychos wont get their hands on any

Notorious@🎩Banter🎩 So we up our defense in big places. Like schools. Churches. Stores and Restaurants. Theaters. Places that a lot of people go to, a person with a gun will be able to blend in on some assassins creed shit. Then smoke the place.

Notorious@🎩Banter🎩 Bullshit. I love guns. I love the adrenaline and I love to shoot. It's a sport too. It's been our right for so long. You can't just take that away because a few assholes are evil.

🎩Banter🎩okay and a teacher snaps. He has had enough. One kid pushes him over the edge. Oh look, America thought it'd be a good idea to give him access to a gun

🎩Banter🎩even better a kid has had enough of school and uses the gun himself

NotoriousI didn't save give a teacher a gun. I say up the defenses. Have a metal detector. Have more guards. Something. Anything.

NotoriousMy school doesn't have a metal detector. We have a bunch of janitors. How safe is our school? It's not.

🎩Banter🎩yes give restaurants guns when they hire waiters/resses with barely any qualifications and then give them access to weapons in a public place

NotoriousWhat the hell are you talking about? You are twisting around my words completely. 😂 I'm not saying give everybody a gun. I'm saying educate them about what they do, how they work and what happens if you use the incorrectly. Talk to them about laws.

🎩Banter🎩so up defenses and ban guns. It would make your school even safer

Notorious@🎩Banter🎩 HOLY FUCK IM NOT SAYING GIVE PEOPLE GUNS. Are you blind??

NotoriousThe places that own guns have less crimes. Look it up.

NotoriousThe places that are educated and practice using guns safely. Not any illegal shit.

🎩Banter🎩But you disagree with making them illegal? Thats what I interpreted off the first comment you made

NotoriousYou're not going to save everyone in the world by banning guns. There are plenty of ways to kill someone. And you're not going to save everyone in the world by making guns legal. Shit happens. But we can try to prevent it.

🎩Banter🎩but it would make a difference. It made a difference in the uk and Australia

NotoriousI do disagree with making them illegal. I want a gun in my home for protection. I want to be able to take it out and go shooting or hunting or something. And many Americans feel the same exact way.

NotoriousNot everybody is a lunatic. Not everybody wants to kill someone. We don't all have mental issues. I am perfectly sane.

NotoriousI don't live in the UK or Australia. This is America and we have lots of shit going down here. Having guns around would keep families safe. Reduce the amount of crimes.

🎩Banter🎩but removing guns from the picture reduces crime even more. You can buy guns in the uk to go hunting and whatever but the vetting system is much stricter and you have to go through the proper channels to get one

🎩Banter🎩even then there a restrictions on what guns are available

NotoriousYou get rid of guns, people will always find something else to harm with. Simple as that.

NotoriousAnd at this point, since technology is becoming so grand, people are making their own makeshift weapons. You can make a gun out of plastic now. You want to ban technology and plastic too?

🎩Banter🎩Im sure you ca defend yourself without guns also

NotoriousOh, and are people going to learn how to defend themselves then? No.

NotoriousSomeone breaks in your home with a gun and you have nothing but a knife, who do you think will win?

NotoriousThat why you need something at home. Something small. The police can't always get there in time.

NotoriousAnd people will break in regardless if that have a gun or not so don't even.

Serpentine@AnonymousToAnExtent 👍 You just perfectly described my opinion on gun control. (I actually have some more reason on why you shouldn't ban guns, but I don't really like explaining unless I really have to. 😑)

SerpentineAnd alike with drugs, criminals will always find a way to sell/own guns because they down follow laws.

🎩Banter🎩you dont seem to understand what im saying so im just gonna not bother anymore. Basically, make guns illegal, crime rates will decrease

NotoriousYou don't seem to understand what I'm saying either. Basically, make guns legal, educate people about them, up defense in places with a lot of people (that doesn't meant give them guns) and crime rates will decrease.

PenPineappleApplePen@JakeTheDog🍑THB🍑SBP🍑 True dat!

NotoriousWatch video that stores take. Man comes in to rob a cashier. Cashier pulls out a shotgun. Robber runs off. You can't tell me that without a gun, the robber would still run off. No lol

🎩Banter🎩I understand what your saying but i dont think that training people to use guns will make a difference. Whats the point if fighting fire with fire if you can just put out the first flame

Notorious😓 (huge huge huge sigh) the point is.. That all throughout history we have used guns. From our very first steps on the Americas, we had guns. We have fought wars with them, protected our citizens and made it here.

Serpentine@🎩Banter🎩 Criminals will have guns if they're illegal. Innocent people won't. More innocent people die. Simple stuff, people!

NotoriousWe have used them for hunting since bows and arrows clearly didn't do as well of a job. We have intimidated criminals. Killers and rapists. Deranged men and women. We have used guns for intimidation. We have used guns for protection and sports.

SerpentineAnd that's just half of my argument!

NotoriousWe use them because they are powerful and they are beautiful. A gun is a TOOL. A TOOL. Only turned into a weapon of you use it that way. Sometimes for good sometimes for bad. Such is fucking life.

🎩Banter🎩and look where its gotten you. Dont you have one of the highest homicide rates of the developed countries? Just cause you've had them for your history doesnt mean its a good idea. You used to have slaves. Treat women as lesser species but that changed and made america better

NotoriousLike I said countless times. You supply a whole town with weapons, for the guys that had a solid background check and clearly aren't psycho, there will be no robberies. No rape. No break ins or killings.

SerpentineAnd geez, we can't just ban things that kill people. Millions of people die every year from slipping in bathtubs! So what's next, let's ban bathtubs? Have a nation of gross people?

NotoriousYou want to ban guns because they kill people? I want to ban the government because they are shady. I want to ban house makers because they can't make good solid houses and they crash on families. I want to ban knives because hey kill people. I want to ban people because we fuck everything up.

🎩Banter🎩@JakeTheDog🍑THB🍑SBP🍑 you arent paying any attention. If a gun is illegal, you cant buy it normally, its cost is gonna fucking rocket up. Do you think the kid that shot up the church in charleston could afford or get hold of that gun if it was illegal and cost multiple thousands

SerpentineMany people die from eating crap like McDonalds over the years! So now we ban McDonalds? (Actually, that doesn't sound too bad. . . 😂😂 But that's besides the point.)

NotoriousBanter, where are you from?

🎩Banter🎩@AnonymousToAnExtent your argument is something i can understand but your friend is just not capable of understanding what im saying

🎩Banter🎩@AnonymousToAnExtent im from the uk. Where you can get a gun, if you go through the right channels, and its expensive. You cant just walk into a shop and buy one. Its not easy to find illegal guns or the police would catch them

SerpentineWhile we're at it, why don't we ban vehicles?? Car wrecks often kill people, so why don't we just ban those and go back to the 18th century?

🎩Banter🎩you seem to be under the impression that if guns were illegal petty criminals would be able to get hold of them no trouble. Thats not fucking true

NotoriousI dunno. This is a stiff battle on both ends. I can completely understand what you're saying. Just get rid of guns and there will be no problems at all. But I love them. I love to shoot them. I'm for guns. And I don't know what else to tell you.

🎩Banter🎩@JakeTheDog🍑THB🍑SBP🍑 you arent being logical. Its not a tool, its a weapon. It was designed with the purpose of maiming or killing

Serpentine@🎩Banter🎩 No, that's not even CLOSE to what I'm trying to say. That's not my point. Not even close. 😑

NotoriousAnd I also think they can help instead of hinder for a lot of the time.

Ethan@AnonymousToAnExtent he's from Wales

🎩Banter🎩@AnonymousToAnExtent i get that, i like handguns. You would still be able to get a hold of them it would just be harder, more paperwork, more money to buy it, more background and psychological tests

NotoriousDesigned for the purpose of killing.. Aren't knives as well? They stab and cut. Was it not originally for meat? Killing animals? Anything sharp was used by the natives to hunt and kill opponents. Ban knives? No.

🎩Banter🎩@AnonymousToAnExtent if you want to help. Dont train people to use guns, train them to use riot shields. Something that is intended for defence and not attack

NotoriousA gun is the same things. Ban arrows too? Arrows were used again, for hunting animals and killing enemies. I take archery class. I could shoot an arrow at my teacher. But I don't because I'm not fucking crazy. Ban arrows too?

SerpentineOkay. I'm gonna point out something else about the US govt. I'm gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist. Call me crazy if you want.

NotoriousIt's almost like in your world, we should float on clouds and love one another. But people aren't like that. That's not how the world turns. People use guns for bad. People use guns for good.

🎩Banter🎩@AnonymousToAnExtent you're right it was to cut things. Thats why there is a restriction on the size of switchblades you're allowed to have and laws on carrying knives

🎩Banter🎩you seem to be labouring under the impression that in the uk we allow people to walk around carrying knives and arrows. You arent

Ethan💢🔫 💢🔫

NotoriousAnd there are restrictions on guns too. You can't just up and waltz into a gun store and say YO let me get a gun.

NotoriousThere is a long process you have to go through to even get a license.

🎩Banter🎩thats bullshit i think nothing like that. Im not anti-guns. I just realise that by restricting guns you are restricting crime

🎩Banter🎩but its easy to get a gun in america. Its not particularly difficult

NotoriousObviously not xD I'm saying that guns are used for the same purpose as bows and arrows were back in the day. It's just stronger.

NotoriousWhat!? I totally agree with restrictions on guns. Big guns. But for smaller weapons, I think those should be around more. Someone I know as an AR-15, as I've brought up before, and there are restrictions for the magazines he can own.

NotoriousIt's certainly not a small gun, I kind of think it should be tucked away a bit, but I do like the restrictions as far as bullets go.

🎩Banter🎩look, can we just stop cause this is going nowhere

NotoriousYes I agree aha.

NotoriousLet's see what happens in the future.

🎩Banter🎩nothing if the republicans have a say

Notorious😕

SerpentineThe founding Fathers were some of the smartest people to walk on this land. They agreed you shouldn't take away guns from people, it's freedom. The govt. today is corrupt. They're hungry for power. I think there's gonna be some sort of economic collapse soon, and if that happens, then it's gonna be hell on Earth. At that time, we're gonna need weapons for defense, and a gun is the best way to protect yourself.

🎩Banter🎩too long and just stop now

NotoriousHaha ^ I want to read it!!

SerpentineBut I wanna argue! 😫

NotoriousI'll argue with you. I'll take his side. Better yet, I'll be totally against guns.

NotoriousSo yeah. Guns are bad. They are used to kill people. We shouldn't have ever made them.

🎩Banter🎩@AnonymousToAnExtent well thats not true

NotoriousWe should still be using rocks and sticks to beat each other up. Better yet, fire is bad too. Guns make little fires inside them when you shoot them so we have to get rid of fires too.

SerpentineAhh yes, gun restrictions, a great idea.

Notoriousfires kill people. Burn them alive. Monks set themselves on fire to prove that they can ignore the pain. We've got to use more water. What? Water drowns people. Gotta get rid of that too.

Serpentine😳 Please don't 😳

NotoriousHahhaa 😂 Naw I'm just kidding. About the guns part. We don't need fire or water.

SerpentineWe have to ban soda. All the sugar is killing people.

NotoriousPlease dont what?

NotoriousWhat about sugarless soda? Gotta get rid of that too. The nasty taste is a killer.

SerpentineWe have to ban cheese. It has the largest amount of saturated fat.

Serpentine**Largest source

NotoriousFructose syrup too. Oh maaan.

SerpentineIt can also cause diabetes and heart disease. 😱

NotoriousBanana spiders are wild. Get rid of bananas, no more spiders.

NotoriousSo can lack of sleep! Well, it's associated with it. GUYS WE HAVE TO SLEEP MORE OFTEN.
