The current president is all about "change" and ever since his changes there have been more casualties then ever before. Every incident was in a gun free zone and every incident was conducted by a human not a gun. Maybe we should start strapping quivers to our hips instead of pistols?
As was this one. Potato/potato, you already showed your hand, might as well outright admit it Mr. Commie. I'm glad you left the US, now if we could just get the rest of you nutjobs out of the country we wouldn't have to worry about shootings.
Yeah no murders or gun violence in Toronto, oh that's right any hand gun violence and Canadians blame the US because of the guns that get smuggled out of Detroit.
Can we leave Detroit out of this please, we have enough issues and get beat up enough on other items. I blame Packers
Actually you're quite wrong. Crimes committed with a firearm and murders committed with a gun are DOWN in the United States. Since 1993, homicides from a gun have declined per 100,000 Americans. The places they are up are the gun free zones. A well armed citizenry and a strong 2nd amendment (less gun control) actually works better. If you think a criminal or terrorist cares about gun laws, you've got brain freeze from all that Canadian brainwashing. Just because the news talks about the incidents more and in more depth than previously, doesn't mean gun crime/murder is rampant.

Germ, I wish I could give Detroit a big hug right now. One of the best early christmas gifts I have ever received.
ehhhh...time to hit the brakes and crack open a history book, tyranny is not something to only worry about "when it starts to pop up" which is one of the fundamental reasons for the 2A. Our Constitution was created SPECIFICALLY for the future to PREVENT what was the "current state of affairs" from recurring. Not so that GB wouldnt take over freedoms again, but so that any gov't couldn't.
Simply put if you travel to one of those countries you should be checked out. I have no need to travel to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan and even with our laws it does give the government the right to at least review that person, with or without a search warrant. You don't get it, who's going to go around the world and collect guns from every single country?! Not to mention the world is full of engineering, any place could easily manufacture guns. You remove guns from a society then a black market will result. You can be a sheep in your own country, don't put your demands on us. You are so far from reality. If there are no guns and someone threatens to crack you over the head with something to rob or kill you wouldn't you want a next level of defense? Will you blow your police whistle? Also, as far as terrorism goes, if you think terrorists will stop here in the U.S. you are crazy. You may not believe it but you guys in Canada are infidels just the same. I'm sure that police whistle will help you when you need it most.
Why when faced with differing viewpoints do people have to resort to childish antics and name calling?? T
Infidel indeed, if you look, Ottawa was the site of an attack last year....similar foreign policy was the cause. That is now changing with government shifts, and I suspect attacks will likewise decline. Yes, guns can be made easily and even printed on 3D printers... it is an uphill battle and the solution is not simply arming more people with more powerful arms. Gun control is not gun abolishment... And no, I would not want the "next level of defence".... two wrongs do not make a right. Avoiding situations and root causes of issues should be the primary focus in these sorts of debates. Some gun controls are more simple and immediate solutions to far greater problems. Given the magnitude of these greater problems, any option should be considered fully before being blindly dismissed.

You clearly have absolutely not idea what you are talking about. None!!!!! Exactly what military grade weapon do we have unlimited access to here in the states? I assume you are talking about assault rifles and if you are, again you're ignorant. We have access to semi automatic rifles, military grade assault weapons are automatic and it is very difficult and expensive to own those. You also clearly have no understanding of the cultural dynamics in this country. If you take away all shootings that happen in the inner city and are 99% gang related, you would see the the rest of our country would fall well below the average of the resto of the world. Yes we have a problem with inner city and gang related violence, but the gun is not the problem. If your not an American, I'm probably speaking for most Americans, we don't give a damn about your opinion of us. If your an American that defected to Canada, then we think even less of you.
Guns and the easy access wasn't a problem for at least 35 of my 45 years. There is more gun control and more regulation than most of my life and people still commit the acts. It is NOT a gun or access issue. It is a people issue. All the gun control rules do is put restrictions on the people who follow the law. those who do not, don't care if you pass another law or not. I guarantee you, if I was in one of these situations and had a pistol with me. There would be less innocent people killed than if I was unarmed. Whether I was able to stop or kill the shooters or not, they are going to have to deal with me or die, giving everybody else around a better chance to escape.
Your country has been and still is involved in what is going on in the middle east. Running away from world problems will only cause your country to lose support when you need it. We all are learning that oceans away does not mean we are going to continue to be immune to what hatred is being spread over there. The solution is not to disarm law abiding citizens either in any way. We will agree to disagree I guess. This one has me scratching my head. So if someone was clearly bigger than you, perhaps younger than you, stronger than you and perhaps whittled a knife out of a stick (joking but I think it makes it's point) and they decided to rob you (or perhaps you ran into them while they were robbing your home) and they clearly are going to stab you with said stick knife you would not want to defend yourself with anything that would likely give you an advantage over that person?? What if they had one of those Detroit guns?? Do you have a family? Children?? What if it were happening to them?? There are people in this world that are BAD and prone to do things like that. It's a heart and morality problem, not a gun problem.
This, i THINK (could be wrong or more then this), seems to be the difference in mentality between you and some of us others, you seem to think that defending yourself is "wrong" (as in two wrongs dont make aright) I believe unfortunately there are people who will for whatever reason try to do others harm. I would like to be as prepared as possible if I am in a situation where I come across them.
Yeah yeah...we know...we've heard this argument from demented liberal idiots for years and it's utter bull****. "Access is the issue", "Gun Control doesn't mean you can't own guns"...and so begins the not so gradual descent into total abolition. When some gun controls are enacted 'creeped in', when the violence doesn't stop then more "control" is demanded in the name of our own protection and so the clamps squeeze ever tighter and tighter until we wake up one day (in the not too distant future) and find we willingly gave up our 2nd amendment to mental degenerates. Half of those which are stupid enough to believe that line of bull**** and the other half that were crooked enough to spew that sort of diatribe out of a desire to neuter our society and disarm it of any protections whatsoever out of a need to enable total governmental dictatorial rule and domination. Your side was vehemently opposed to the second amendment way back when our side was insisting on it's inclusion, this isn't a "new necessity" of modern civilization, this is a rehash of the same old tired and ignorant argument that we won when we specifically wrote and adopted the 2nd back in 1791. Thank God we were able to over ride those ignorant sobs back then and we'll continue to do so because we still have a majority that clings to our guns as tightly as we cling to our religion.
Here's a little perspective for Mr. Canada. Notice that the United States is 10 times more populated than Canada. The United States is the 3rd most populated country in the world. Canada is 37th and has less than 1/2 percent of the world population. What might work for Canada is really irrelevant on the scale of much more densely population nations.
I'm still trying to figure out how all that happened in Paris? Pretty sure they have some pretty restrictive gun laws, but they didn't prevent the mass murder of innocent civilians, none of which had any capacity to protect themselves in any way.
