davicar3 said "It would be easier to understand if it were true."

According to the most prominent criminologists in this country and around the world it is true. So I have a dilemman on my hands. I either believe what they say or you. "LOL" Guns are deadly weapons designed to kill people. It doesn't take a brain surgeon or a prominent criminologist to understand that such weapons increase the chances of death in any home. Of course, you are no brain surgeon or criminologist nor your post show a whole lot of intellect so I understand your statement.

What you post is true, but understand that logistically, it is not possible to remove guns from this society. Even if all guns were banned tommorrow and all gun shops closed, there are enough guns entering illegally and enough already here to keep the same situations going.

Most towns have flea markets, auctions and private rummage sales. At any of those guns often are sold and no background checks occur. Adding to that, most criminals do not buy their guns from gun stores, they buy them at beauty salons (bootleg) from the trunks of cars, from street corners, etc. These guns are cheaper, may or may not have histories but are readily available.

It really is too late to put the genie back into the bottle. It is not about simply gun control--the fact is, there is no way this country could stop gun commerce anymore than they can stop illegal immigration, drug commerce or any other crime. To outlaw guns would make many ordinary citizens criminals and they would rebel--because given the behavior of cops and the time lag between crimes and when they get there, if they come at all...many people think it is "every man for themselves" and therefore stock up on even more guns. As the economy gets worse--the gun problems will get worse and more suicides will occur.

I know of places where you can request a semiautomatic weapon and for 25 to 50.00, it will be provided--no paperwork needed. This is the way that it is--idealism and wishful thinking aside.

Uh, just to be fair on this one, check out the crime reports. A HUGE portion of the gun crime in the UK is commited with fake guns. I looked into it after a comment like yours.

I was actually born in the UK. While a huge portion of the gun crimes in the UK may be committed with fake guns, the actual number of gun crimes in the UK are very, very, very low. The weapons of choice, were and still are, knives and clubs.

Obviously he wasn't. Yet another person who is a bad judge of character. Wouldn't it be nice if when people just can't take life anymore--they just offed themselves and left the rest of the family out of it. It is pretty selfish to not only destroy your own life, but not want anyone else to live too. May he rest in he11.

Now comes the part where he says,"We need to reduce the prevalance of guns in America," but does not have any idea how impossible it is to do that.

Maybe this guy was like you and he carried a gun everywhere. It is because people like you that we have places where guns are not allowed.

These places are called target rich environments for psychos and thugs. They love them because they know that law abiding citizens will not be able to stop them.

Why oh why do people feel the need to take others with them when they want to kill themselves? The act itself is selfish enough, especially when kids are involved.

The ONE who shall remain nameless keeps telling us that our guns are more likely to be used to kill us than defend us. Well, the ONE may be right. But if it is, they will have to beat me to death with it because by the time they take it there will be no more bullets left in it.
