I hope this isn't viewed as political as it's really just common sense.

I believe some gun control is needed. I don't think they should be outlawed.

 

[AKmik]

Very nice , My boys in the armory will love it. :thumbs:

I am kind of caught in a conundrum on this one. I have never been for any sort of gun control but after / during my AZ CCW course I came to the conclusion that there are many many people out there who have no business owning a firearm.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, how do you explain Japan, England and the EU gun deaths or lack thereof. ???

Not you, just in general.

Maybe they educate their people and actually punish those who abuse rights and privileges. Just a guess

 

[AVB]

Since the US has more people in jail per capita then any other first world nation your guess about punishment doesn't seem to be correct.

 

[interscape]

I guess the theory is kind of like health care, it has been a disaster in other countries so lets try it here.

Les(D) - not

True, we have more people per capita in jail than any other leading country which would "seem" to indicate that we punish our criminals, but what criminals do we punish?. We also turn a blind eye to virtually all crime and those who commit it unless there is money to be made by exploiting it. We therefore have more criminals on the street per capita than any other leading country. But.......................this discussion is going way beyond my ability to state factual stats so I will let it drop.

I believe some gun control is needed. I don't think they should be outlawed.

Gun control around here weighs 600 lbs, is lag bolted to the floor joists, and sits in front of a monitored motion detector.

Oh, and using both hands helps a lot, too......

This is very true and is the sad result of the effort dedicated to control rather than education.

 

[Turk10mm]

this is gun control. its controlled on my hip where it should be. unfortunatley, the law says that most of the time it has to stay inside my pants and under my shirt.

I've never shot anyone, and I've never been to jail. But god help me, because if the need ever comes upon me, I won't so much as blink.

All I can say about gun control is ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ. Come and take them, and bring an army with you.

until every turd in this country is erradicated, I will own and carry firearms.

They can have my gun when they pry my cold dead fingers from around it.

The same way you'd explain:

The Swiss - A very large segment of the population owns firearms (27.2%), including fully automatic weapons. They have one of the lowest homicide rates in the world, lower than England. And Norway - 32% of their population own firearms, they have the forth lowest homicide rate in the world.

Answer IMO:
There are many, many factors that are much more prominent than gun availability that influence homicide rates and crime in general. England and Japan had very low homicide rates, much lower than ours, long before they confiscated all the guns.
