Cornipsus Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 What's your opinion on gun control? I think that it should be harder to get a gun for everybody. The God of Judgement is not pleased... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 So, you're from the US then? In Europe only criminals and policemen have guns (and some other people who are just plain weird) But instead, many people have knifes, so gun control doesn't work - people will just get something else that can be used to intimidate/wound/kill people. They seem to think that it'd be safer.. I seriously doubt that, a criminal is going to be better with whatever weapon you'd carry then yourself anyway, since that's their "job". And only criminals can attack you since as soon as someone attacks you, that person is a criminal I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed..

Curmudgeon Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think the laws need some modifications. When I lived in Cook County, IL, (Chicago's county) they just passed a law that you can't buy a handgun in the county. In IL you do need an FOID card (Firearm Owner's ID) to purchase a handgun outside of Cook County, plus a 3-day waiting period. Now that I moved 35 miles north of there into Southeast Wisconsin, I can go into any sporting goods store and buy as many rifles and shotguns as money will allow and carry them all out with me, no permit or anything is required. And to purchase a handgun, you don't need a permit or FOID card like IL requires, just need to merely wait 2 days while they run your info through the BATF computer system. As long as you're 18+ and have money, you can purchase one (barring the BATF coming back and saying you're unfit to carry one). But gun shows are another thing...no background checks whatsoever... :shock: And something like CA or NY...where they can only purchase a 10-round clip maximum, yet here, I can buy the biggest clip, holding up to 30 rounds or more, no questions asked. So, yes, I think some standardization is needed in our gun laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossk The Wizard Lizard Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Nobody should have guns except Policemans. That way, there would be less criminals it would be harder to kill people. That's my opinion, whether you like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.C. (Conviction Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have the right to bear arms. I dont think we need to change one of the ten laws this country was based off. Exactly! that law don't say you must have all of the requirements to purchase this, its also a self defense thing also ~97% of teens won't stand up for Anything. Put this on your sig if you're one of the 3% who've fallen down trying. Oh, and there's 3 types of people in this world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You understand it now I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfan51 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 What's your opinion on gun control? I think that it should be harder to get a gun for everybody. I completely agree. I am surprised that it is easier to get a gun in some Western countries than it is in India or China, for example. I am a vegetarian, and I think only law-enforcement personnel should be allowed to own a gun. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ I am a disco dancer. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Man Dann Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 My Uncle and Aunt live in Michigan, and the got a license to carry concealed weapons. I think this is hilarious. I live in illinois, and all I know is switchblades are illegal, so instead I have a few ninja stars (Shuriken) and the closes thing to a switch blade (A cool knife that you press down the lock button and flick your wrist and it opens). In my area a knife above 3" is illegal, but I carry around my 4" one anyways ..:The Official Sass Giver:.. ..:Xbox Live Gamertag: Dutch Man Dann:..

Mike Ryan Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Not to be rude or anything NCFan, but simply because you are a vegitarian doesnt mean hunting as to be cracked down upon. Personally, I love hunting. It is very relaxing in a sense (not the killing part of course). Though, if any laws need to be made here are some of my ideas: 1. Background Checks. Honestly, if you have somebody who robbed a bank 6 years ago wanting a gun, they dont need one. 2. Add the gun license to an actual drivers license. 3. Keep up with what each gun licensee has (gun-wise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
