Whatever, we import 30% of our oil from Canada, not to mention they consume just as much everything as the US does.

Then they set their drunk over-privileged entitlement babies loose on a city and let them destroy private property like a bunch of faggots. If there was a riot in my neighborhood nigga's wouldn't get out alive.

... haha... to be honest I hate that goddamn little shitface ... I want to smash his face with a baseball bat .... fuckin racist/homophobic/sexist prime minister ...

To be honest I don't consider Québec to be part of Canada... our culture is totally different, nobody likes the government in place (only 12-15% of the quebecers voted for that redneck in may and he still won...) We have good reasons to separate from it ... we would have done it if Canada didn't cheat in 1995...

You are deluded.  Strict gun laws are terrible.  Like it makes it any less difficult to find a gun on the black market if you wanted.  Whereas the legitimate people cannot procure a proper defense tool through legal channels.

Gun aren't the direct cause of murder, but you still do have less.

any study will tell you, more guns in the street, more murder,

Im far from deluded, its cold hard facts, the US murder rate is astronomically high

sure you can find guns on the black market, but its a lot fucking harder than buying a gun from the corner gun store, or getting a free gun when you join certain banks :facepalm:

and in fact, you are deluded, lots of legitimate HUNTERS
can get many firearms, its just not as easy as the US, an obvious bonus for Canada in my opinion.


And DD I completely agree the US is fucked, in fact thats been the premise of all my arguments, rather than Canada is great, US is terrible

Once again a discussion about gun laws ... lol .... As I said in another discussion like this, here, you don't need a gun to feel safe, for the reason that not everyone around you can have one... I don't need one to feel secure in my house or in the streets, making guns illegal won't stop the black market, nor would the legalization of drugs.

Now you will say that you have the right to defend yourself & your family, yes, but to be honest, when I will have kids, I don't want them to live somewhere where almost anyone can get a gun, yes it is not the gun's that kills people but the ones who uses them, it is true, but those people wouldn't have such an easy access to a death weapon like this...

Nearly every household in Switzerland has military rifles as the Swiss require military service and you are able to take home your rifle afterwards to uphold a strong militia.  Yet they also have an extremely low murder rate.  Likewise many states with more strict gun control laws, such as California, have extremely high murder rates.

We are strictly considering america in this case, the culture plays a significant role, and american and swedish culture are, in my best assumption, quite different.

As for california, thats not a fair assessment, just because they have strict gun laws means nothing when you are surrounded by states that would be more than happy to give you a gun, and the black market itself is also probably much larger strictly due to the amount of weapons available. when compared to the can black market of course.

Exactly my point though. The culture, not gun ownership, is to blame.  You're blaming gun ownership rates for the rise in murder, when it's not the case.

Its a combination of both culture and availability of weapons

+

government fear tactics

+ natural paranoia

there must be a gene within Americans which is naturally attracted to guns, or naturally fearful and feels the need for a gun to protect themselves because everywhere else is so flooded with guns

nearly every american loves guns :lol:

You also cannot entirely blame culture for murders.... In any goddamn place in the world there are murders being committed, it is in the "human culture", its global, not only in USA or Canada or whatever place.... There are rotten eggs everywhere, an easy access to weapons only make it easier for them, if you do not know any contacts for guns in the black market, well you might as well search all your life it doesn't mean you will ever find one. It is not the guns that are to be blamed, maybe more the way that people see these things.

We just believe that an armed populace are more free than an unarmed one.  I don't want to see the day when police, the government and criminals are the only ones capable of possessing firearms.

I'm a responsible gun owner, why should my right to own a firearm be taken away because of the ignorance of others?  For the most part I own firearms purely because I enjoy military history, most of my guns have some historical significance, 2 are from WW2 and my AK is the gun that changed the history of warfare more than any other.  Also it's fun to shoot.  Just like fireworks there's something satisfying about hearing loud explosions and seeing shit blow up.  Can't really explain it, it just is. :shrug: 

Really the last thing on my mind is personal protection, though it is a nice bonus.

Also no one said a free society would be a safe society.  But I rather possess more freedom than security any day.

well, lots of things are fun but that doesn't change the facts about them from years of data does it?

Thats like saying, well, Hellfire missiles are fun to shoot, the explosion is cool and I get to harm people, therefore it makes it right.

The simple fact is, less guns means less murders, there are plenty of gun for hunters, and lets be honest, if you need a gun for anything besides hunting or "fun" which I already adressed, you are a criminal anyways most likely

I respect your opinion and I dont think there should be no guns, but I think their only real purpose should be hunting, if you find recreation with rifles thats fine, but weapons such as handguns have no place in hunting, and are only meant to harm humans, of course this is mostly based on my own opinion but there is facts about gun control and murder rates readily available

Violence is global, we just happen to have a gun-factor in ours, which results in deaths. In other countries people just stab each other with broken beer bottles and shit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Gun Ownership is one of our countries founding principles, additionally I and others get a lot of fun out of recreational shooting.

I like how you say that anyone who doesn't like guns are ignorants ....

Nobody never said it shouldn't be legal, you live in a different country, I do not know how it is there, nor do you know how things happens here, it is already legal there, if it is working for you, than :sambergfive:


But, you must understand why some country doesn't allow it, it is not ignorance... I would rather say it is only that people don't feel the urge to have a gun to be safe, you keep saying it is historical points of views, it is true, but history is here so we won't make the same mistakes as our ancestors did, you like the history of your guns, it is totally a good reason to purchase history artefact's, collections, but, you must also understand that a population isn't "more free" than another just because they can have guns, why does it makes you feel free, why would the populations refusing the legalization of guns less free?

Actually, if you've ever been wild boar hunting then you'll know that pistols can serve a purpose when they get up close. 

Like I've said before, and countries like Switzerland suggest, violent crime is much more dependent on culture than on access to guns.  Gun control could limit access but then criminals would just go back to using knives or other weapons.  And while perhaps me and you could fend someone off with a knife many women may not be so lucky.  And of course ourselves may not be so lucky if there's more than one person.

Freedom over safety.

I wasn't talking about those who don't like guns but those who use guns irresponsibly or for criminal enterprise.

As far as freedom, well fascist regimes are the first to ban private gun ownership.  It should tell you something when dictators view gun ownership as a threat to their tyranny.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.  :twobooks:

Arguing for gun restriction...  :doublefacepalm:

Also Canada is just little USA. For the most part anyway, we just have a smaller lower class.

If today, there is any kind of dictator that would try to take USA or Canada, he would get kicked in the balls.... these kinds of tyrants do not have their place in the societies of today, it is totally improbable that it ever happens, mostly because now, politics are taken care of by a lot of persons... I am not too worried about this problem....

And it is not because facists regimes were banning guns that we must do exactly the opposite ...

I think we can never be apathetic about possible threats to freedom because they seem unlikely.  Humans haven't changed much in their primal goals of power and control.

I think tyranny in the 21st century may even be accepted with open arms. At least that's the goal.  The same human psychology used to persuade a German population towards nationalistic genocide is still present with us today.  Just because we're aware of specific examples does not mean we're any less likely to succumb to this sort of group thinking.  However unlikely, I feel more free knowing the government aren't the only ones with arms.
