We've talked a lot about this recent incident but haven't said much about the political side of things, not that I think thats a bad thing. I think Harper is right in saying that now isnt a time to talk policies, still I think its worth bringing this up

thats very american of you
and totally against all avialable evidence
stricter gun laws reduce violence
the fewer guns the less violence
the only question is
how repressive is society willing to be??

[allhatnocattle]

Since men are more violent, why not lock up all the men?

[_social_retard_]

wouldnt work, women are sometimes violent, would have to lock all of them up too, that would work. *nods*

[allhatnocattle]

Lock me up with Shania, Nellie, and Avril and I promise no violence.

So lock up all the guns, er, take them out of circulation because they're more likely to cause death then screwdrivers? Why are we not getting rid of Ducati motorcycles?

all i ever said was i support SOME REGULATION
the closest thing to an ideal set of laws in my mind are NZ gun laws

Sorry, but when you said stricter gun laws, I assumed you were crusading against gun ownership.

I can't see your pdf link (My computer won't download pdf's) but I just looked at some NZ gun laws at another site. I don't see NZ too much different then Canada.

i live in the atates dude..unregualted firearms ownership
results in mass carnage..i dont think they shouldbe banned
i'm just sick to death of people shooting each other over stupid shit

[allhatnocattle]

I don't care if they shot each other, or themselves for that matter, it's when they shoot errantly and hit bystanders. I mean there are people with deathwishes anyway. No matter if they're skateboarding, skydiving, bullriding or whatever. Generally they're just going to kill themselves.

Then there's crotchrockets and sportscars that when they go out of control the damage isn't always just to themselves. But we regulate that shit, right?

Regulating firearms is great. It'll increase the safety factor for sure. But how much? Will it ever be enough to satisfy everyone? The answer's obvious.

Money,
motercycle makers and gun makers like thier products being sold. Just like cigarettes. And the people who are employed by those companies, like having jobs too.

Stricter sentences, particularly for violence against women and children, would do just that.

1. Since men are more violent, why not lock up all the men?
2. Stricter sentences, particularly for violence against women and children, would do just that.

So therefore you think that all men abuse women or children? Nice to know where you stand.

[lifeisacabaret]

You are a fucking twit.

[ringzero]

I'm not the one accusing half the population of being violent criminals.
