As a Canadian I agree with Camo. I have nothing against guns personally. I'm a gun noob...But I can't begin to comprehend the need for such "big" guns. The need for anything with a larger capacity then a handgun or hunting rifle baffles me.
Maybe it is just American culture like Football lol
There is nothing BIG about an AR-15. It shoots a .223 round. Pretty damn small, just a larger charge behind it. My hunting rifle is a 30.06 which is massive compared to it.
It gets such bad rap because its evil black... Magazine capacity is a horrible argument. 10 vs. 30...? Means nothing. You realize it takes 1-2 seconds to swap a mag?
Most handguns hold 10-15 rounds. Again, 1-2 seconds to reload.
Ban guns and then what? We can no longer defend ourselves against the crazies with guns. Criminals do not obey gun laws. They are criminals, remember?
It IS American culture. Our bill of RIGHTS gives us that right.
These are not GUN problems. They are people problems. You think if he could not have a gun he would not have come up with any other way to cause mass harm? Look at the bombings, the airplanes on 9/11, suicide bombers etc. No guns. Were you all crying to ban airplanes? Why are cigarettes still legal? Alcohol? 10x more deaths related to those. No one is crying about that... Why?
Second hand smoke kills 53,800 people a year. SECOND HAND SMOKE! Lets focus on guns though... Right.
Why do we want to shoot each other? Nice conclusion. Crazy people want to kill people, no matter where you live. WE want to defend ourselves from THOSE people. They exist. Do not kid yourselves.
