Banned
Well after being given the link by a friend I'm piping up here too.
The whole "ban guns" will never work.. Look at the UK right now... Guns banned... crime rates went UP.
Jamaica has effectively banned guns... guess what their crime rates are?
How about when Florida allowed CCW permits and the media and anti's screamed the streets would be drenched with blood... which did NOT happen. In fact crime rates esp murder, rape and armed robbery dropped massively.
How about the simple reality check is a gun ban would do nothing to stop the criminals from having guns... and the CRIMINALS are the problem.
Funny how no one especially politicians want to deal with the actual problem.. and the typical 'smoke & mirrors' so many fall for is very sad... people need to do a reality check about the actual problem.
I am a law abiding citizen, I'm ex-military with full firearms combat training, I'm also an experienced martial artist and do not need a gun to kill. So whats next.. ban martial arts? Ban military training? Reality is a criminal can pickup a simple baseball bat and KILL with that. How many of you are law abiding citizens with a baseball bat in your home? Maybe that should be registered and you should be treated as a criminal just because you own one.
So since I'm not the problem why attack me? Why not put that effort into the real problem... and get something actually good done instead.
As for the costs of this farce aka the registry.... not one life has ever been saved with it yet. The public saftey is actually harmed by it.. several cops have been killed by foolishly believing it... and yet it has not removed the guns from criminals hands.
Now if you took all of the $$$ wasted on it and put it into border patrols to catch the smugglers it would help... how about $$ for womens shelters as well which are massively underfunded. That would get some real tangible results. How about that $ for basic law enforcement of the actual criminals.. and saving the $ wasted on the 'paper criminals' created by the registry?
It's very basic science... if the goal is to reduce CRIME then focus on the CRIMINALS.
if the goal is to save lives put the $ into things we KNOW save lives.
Anything else is effectively shooting yourself in the foot to spite yourself... and depriving others of the actual benefits gained by real good use of tax $
Ultimately the only possible outcome of any gun ban is the criminals will be the only ones with guns.... talk about stupid if you honestly want that to happen.
Oh and note... no one is saying you personally have to own a gun... but you have no right to say we cannot choose to do so.
