What's your solution? More bans that aren't enforced effectively?

What's your solution? More bans that aren't enforced effectively?
- Sabinus 8y agoEvery other country seems to manage it.
- TallGuyShort 8y agoYeah I grew up in a country where it backfired royally, and now I concealed carry and stopped a murder-in-progress with it when the cops were still 10 minutes away, so y'all can fuck off with your statist ideas and cherry-picked examples for things that have no global correlation.
- Aeolun 8y agoYou realize your own example is cherry picked right? I’ll be the first to admit that the stats for gun bans seem shaky, but that doesn’t make your own anecdote valid as a counterargument.
- eljimmy 8y agoI'm curious, where are you from? I live in Canada and no one carries around a gun except criminals. We have a fair number of stabbings since anyone buy and carry a knife (with exceptions) but shootings are pretty damn rare. I think almost every shooting in my city (a total of 74 in a city of 1.25 million) last year was criminal-on-criminal.
- vsl 8y agoNot the parent, but: I’m Czech, conceal carry for self-defense is legal here (with competence tests and no criminal history requirement) and some 300k people (out of 10M population) have the permit. Shootings are pretty damn rare here. Compared to e.g. UK, which all but banned any weapons imaginable, mugging, stabbing and other violent crimes are very rare as well.
- King-Aaron 8y agoSounds like you thrive on anecdotes. You should move to Australia, not many people have guns, so we just man up and kill each other with a single punch.
