Read and remember the past! I bring this up because of your so-called society rules.While they are well intentioned, a rule is subject to future interpretation.

I know nothing of Stephen Halbrook, But from a quick search I have found he has won 2 cases against the government to do with Gun Control.
This says to me that he is a hand to heart "Gun Person".
Which removes the Reliability of information from him in my eyes, as it would usually be swayed by his opinions NOT facts.
*******
While your at it check out the UN and their indeaver to 'control' guns on the USA.

UN Small Arms Programme of Action (UNPoA) "summarised as: 'regulating small arms transfers and brokering activities; criminalising the illegal manufacture, possession, stockpiling and trade of small arms and light weapons; ensuring that weapons be marked and registered; enforcing arms embargoes; destroying surplus and confiscated weapons :banghead:; raising public awareness."
http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-nations
Do you call this gun control?????? No but deep down you agree with most parts of it .YES??????
Now lets address this - UNPoA is the more advanced way of saying - take guns away from criminals. Please take note of the one word you missed "
Illegal" This means that if you aren't illegally in possession of a firearm then you would be safe to possess one.
This should affect you then? So what's the problem?
The Destroying part is to destroy an illegal weapon. NOT yours - This is more than likely due to the fact that it was imported illegally. This still does not relate to you.
Debate of Psch test and Gun Control.
http://www.debate.org/opinions/only...fully-pass-a-psychological-test-can-have-guns
You say a psch test will answer all the questions needed to control guns. Psch test are very subjective almost to a equivalency of the Salem Witch Hunts. All someone had to do was point a finger and you lost your life. A law is not subjective but REAL. IF "Johnny broke the law last night pointing his gun at someone, which will result in him losing his ability to own a gun should it be proven to be true (the key)". A psch test is very pregnant with abuse.
The funny thing about this one Blade, is that I think you didn't read anything but the percentage on this link, Go back and read some of the comments such as "No human being should have a Gun, Period" - This would obviously make up for the missing percent on the opposite side. As it seems, A lot of people dislike guns on that Debate website
Better use a better source Blade
The bottom line is Connor; gun control DOES NOT work! in your country or in mine. So, I ask one more time, why the continued push to control them????. There is only one answer to that:Raise the bar high enough so guns are illegal to own and then we will have true gun control. Look to your own country here. Registered owners of guns yet same or close to the same amount of gun deaths each year since.gun control DOES NOT work! Only the Bad Guys will have them.
On this occasion you may be right on some circumstances, BUT not all.
Gun Control is not impossible. It would be a struggle, but not impossible.
No-one is trying to take any guns away, even if they were they would come armed WITH guns also which would not end well on either side. You can not take guns away from people WITH guns! It would just be a stalemate.(which it already is in a way).
No bar is being raised here, In my opinion it is what should happen any way - You are allowed to have a firearm/Long rifle/whatever - as long as you have been examined and proved fit and mentally healthy to do so - and from that people would be a lot safer due to less people being found responsible or mentally fit enough to have one. The people like yourself would have no issues passing this test and keeping your weapons.
p.s. During the weeks of rioting in Mo, guns sales reached about 2 per minute throughout the state. WHY????????Protection??????.
Doubtful, But maybe so - I wasn't there so I cannot comment on what happened.
I know you cannot understand this Connor since you have never had to live in it or around it but I can tell you from experience that living close to an area that is being rioted or burnt down is a nerve racking event. Are you going to be next ???? When that happens self-preservation kicks in. Please remember this as a certain group of people in your country get close to a 50% population, there will be blood shed.
I certainly hope you are not racially slandering Blade, Due to your recent comments on posts I'm assuming you mean Islamic/Muslim people ,I've said this before and I will again. MOST but not all of Islamic/Muslim people I have met have been lovely company and wonderful to speak to. I do not know where you have developed this sudden prophecy of this happening. I've been reading about our politics here and the way they seem to be cracking down on immigration and I can probably ensure that it wont come to that situation.
Connor, I was not referring to you age but the fact that you probably have never had to live near anything such as that because if you did, you opinion of gun control would change.
I doubt it would Blade, and I do believe you were referring to my age, due to the fact you proclaimed "ah how it was to be 17,18 again" then went on to say you would "clear it up" for anyone else my age.
My opinion would not change if I was inside a riot or not - Cracking down on gun control in my opinion can only help you be safe and I don't know why you would be against it. Nowhere has it said that anything was being taken away (Unless you are a danger to anyone else or yourself - be it mentally unfit or irresponsible). This would thin the crowd if you like. Reduce the number of accidental deaths, and maybe even some of the intentional deaths.
Any improvement on reducing death tolls is Okay in my books.
