[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]TOTALLY EFFEACTIVE gun control can be done! So none of that "impossible" non-sense[/QUOTE] In a country where guns are not already largely possessed by civilians of any type, yes. HERE, no. [QUOTE] stop the "bitching and complaining", and think about how it could very well been prevented by BANNING GUNS![/QUOTE] It could also have been prevented by banning lunatics. Or, if you want a real-world solution, actually ENFORCING the 10,000 existing gun laws, and a little discipline. [QUOTE] And for those "Government gonna walked all over us if we don't have guns" people, did the Japanese government walked all over their people?[/QUOTE] An entirely different culture. From what I can gather, unlike our government, the Japanese governmental officials still believe that their primary duty is to their constituents, rather than their party or their 'vision.' On the other hand, I don't know how over-regulated the Japanese citizens are, do you? [QUOTE] (NOT freedom, because laws defined in such a way so people can own gun, therefore people have guns, not because it is one of those freedoms people are born with*) [/QUOTE] The people who wrote the Constitution would disagree with that statement... or at least what I can decipher of it, because the language of it is starting to sound like a "Time Cube" rant. That's why they made it the SECOND most important Amendment (Right GUARANTEED to the People by which they insure all the others). [QUOTE]For those "gonna have to defend myself" dudes, think about what made you have to defend yourself with a gun in the first place. [/QUOTE] Folks like you. j/k. Well, for one, the KKK is marching in my town today. They're not SUPPOSED to be armed in any way or violent... but they're the KKK. And if there's five of them and one of me, I'd prefer to have the advantage should I need it. As long as there are people who don't care about the rights of others, and as long as there's a slightest possibility of a 'tyranny of the majority,' a wanna-be king, an Inquisition, etc., there will be a need to defend against them, and thusly a need for arms. PERIOD. [QUOTE] And just how many constitution in the world have that "everyone should own a gun" part? [/QUOTE] Not enough. Might have prevented or ameliorated a lot of massacres of unarmed civilians by troops and/or rebels. Rwanda. Now let me ask you, how many countries have compulsory military service, in which people are licenced to keep their service weapons (often the much-over-maligned 'assault rifles') at home? I can think of The Swiss and the Israelis off the top of my head. [/QB][/QUOTE]
