You can't regulate society into Utopia, Australia has proven that...they even banned gun ownership without a permit. You're welcome to read the following to see how well that's worked out for them...
AUSTRALIA: MORE VIOLENT CRIME DESPITE GUN BAN |
Nope. Never have and I doubt that will ever change.
Not looking for utopia. Outlawing guns is not the answer and I have not advocated that. I want tighter restraints on gun ownership. I want to make sure you do not sell your weapon to an under aged kid with fake ID. I want to make sure that your weapons are stored in a safe secure location and are very difficult to steal. I want to make sure that you are responsible for the actions of your weapon.
These are my ideas. What are yours? Do you even have one? Do you have an idea that will help prevent the slaughter of people? Are there other nations which have strict gun laws that have low crime rates? May be Japan? Two gun related deaths in 2006. They had a murder spree in 2008 and had 11 deaths. UK? Only 18 deaths in 2009. Germany? They had 158 homicides in 2010. Australia may have had a spike in other crimes, what they were caused by is not known but their homicide was 207 in 2007 and 225 in 2008.
I suggest you come to the table with something other than "No".
