Something really funny about gun control in America

I read this on one of Cracked.com's lists and I think it's hilarious. Basically there are absolutely no restrictions on buying mini-guns in America. Why? Because only an idiot would buy one. There are only 11 civilian units on the market (that's eleven guns total, not models). They cost around $400 grand each, and considering the rate of fire, it'll cost you around $3,600 per minute to fire one. I'm sure maintenance is a pain in the ass too!

Bicnarok
the really odd thing is that people can actually legaly buy guns.

why is that odd to you?

Because guns are made generally for killing people, and that isn't very nice is it ?

Sporting reason I can understand and yes it is fun firing weapons, I enjoyed it when I was in the Military.

But civilians don't need guns do they, especially in countries like the US where a lot of people are insane lunatics.

The right to own a gun was not intended to be so you can protect yourself from other people, it was to protect your nation from the government.

You need to stop telling people to stop being stupid...unless, of course, you know how to handle and dismantle a firearm. Properly trained gun owners never...,NEVER draw their weapon unless they intend to use it and if they intend to use it, well, just like the military, they will rarely miss. It is the illegally owned guns that you need to worry about. I guarantee you that if you were stuck in a room with five strangers and a lunatic with a big ass weapon, you would feel a whole lot better once that person hit the floor from a fellow citizen carrying a concealed handgun.

That, is ridiculous. If there is a real crazy person determined to kill as many people as they can in the room, a gun on the people in the room, won't make the situation worse.

I would agree that in a standard armed robbery odds are it might, but that doesn't really matter...

Though it is hardly the point regardless, the actually innocent people should have the right to protect themselves as good as they can, if they so choose. Police officers are also just people, and people that can't always be where you are at to protect you.

And your implications are silly, if you can't argue with facts, maybe you shouldn't argue at all.

Oh if there is one, then I'd agree, they probably should.

But the "If you don't like it, why don't you **** off", usually refers to only one issue, and though there may be a place that does it different on this issue, that doesn't mean there's a perfect place, and obviously changing the government and society is an option that one can and should possibly pursue, especially in the US, a country founded on civil disobedience.

I love my country. It's not perfect and has TONS of room for improvement. Doesn't change the fact that I love it. On the same token, I'd probably be quite happy living in France.

the problem is it is harder for your law abiding citizen to buy a gun then it is for a violent criminal to get one.

i was in iraq in 06/07 we found a cache of weapons over 5000, we had to catalog them all get serial numbers model ect ect... most of them were german, chinese and russian weapon systems a few scattered ones were american in origin. we destroyed all but the ak47's that were functional and had serial numbers if they didnt we assigned one to them. any who by order of a high ranking government official of a certain powerful country we were ordered to arm the iraqi army with those weapons a few months later we found a few hundred of the same weapons inside a couple of insurgence homes that were being used to store them. we were later ordered not to talk about it which really pissed me off since most of my officers/Nco's thought it was a bad idea to begin with.


not sure if it ever made it to the news probably not.

I'm almost certain it came up in the news or either in some book I read about Iraq.

hell i know a smuggler or used to be one till his wife turned him in and the border patrol was on the look out for him and his vehicle when he was crossing. all i can say dont piss off women or cheat on them or try to take your kids from her in the divorce cause they will screw you over. man my uncle was pissed when they confiscated all his electronics and torn the insides out to pull weapons hidden inside tv's vcrs.. ect ect.. poor guy.

the marines, pretty sure our commandant would back the ppl regardless of his orders from some insane president a little thing called honor ingrained in him would make him make right choice.


besides most marines would obey our commandant over the president even though we swore to obey the president, the loophole states "to obey only all lawful and legal orders."

besides most military ppl would have a hard time enforcing their power to relatives and towns, cities from where they originated especially if friends and relatives were injured. the army would be split in the middle.

besides i doubt you can get all branches to obey some insane president or military general commander. you got the air force, navy, army and marines.


you also have cops, fbi cia the whole scenario is very unlikely.

Robtard
You realize that certain military higher ups have used their popularity to secure the military's allegiance and then use it to dispose of the current elected government and install their own regime, and so it isn't beyond the realm of possibility.

Fear not though, if we listen to Repcon/Conserv talking heads, Obama is going to make himself King (or is it Sultan?) of America, just a matter of time.

i was stating that it is very unlikely that military would follow some insane american president against his own ppl or let him put himself in power for life or something stupid like that.

now if it were a military commandant then yes they have a better chance to secure their mens loyalty, i know i would follow my commandant for the right reasons to overthrow our government most likely i side with him out of a sense of loyalty and superiority from the common man.

And so? Big deal!

I've got like 1 back in Chicago and 5 in the Philippines, all legal.
Heck, it's even easier to buy guns in the Phils.
No need for training. If you're past the legal age of 18, you can get a license lol. And guns there are a lot cheaper than in the US.

Guns are strictly prohibited here in Dubai, though.

And your implications are silly, if you can't argue with facts, maybe you shouldn't argue at all. If not fired, the gun would threaten the lunatic and cause him to panic and go more crazy. If fired, you have the potential to kill a human being.

Much more reasonable approach is to **** firearms. Whenever someone is armed, disarm him. *You know, sneaking up behind, pulling his arm back and letting him drop the heavy mother ****er on his foot.* Infact, don't they have classes to teach you this stuff? If not, they should.

And what if the lunatic doesn't have a gun, which you seem to both assume he does. Striking fear into a crazy person is a pretty inane idea.

*Due to your past redardations, Bardock, I feel it mandatory to point this out.

That was a hyperthetical example, not a suggestion.

Guns are ****ing stupid anyway. To willingly carry something as dangerous as that means one thing. You're willing to risk harming and killing another person.

The only truthful "statistic" is that criminals will have guns whether there are laws against guns or not.

Citizens should have weapons if they so desire.
American's do have guns and will fight to keep that right.

Back up your facts.



Show statistics where, when guns were "effecitvely" removed from a country/city/state/province, and violent crimes went down. If you can demostrate this, then I'll "switch" sides.

No, sorry, proof is on you.



You are challenging the point, not I. The point being the already legal gun rights.



In other words, you don't have proof and it's empty rhetoric. More to the point, you are just another ignorant fool who believes something out of ignorance.







Prove that removing guns from America would make it safer. If you prove that, I will back you up. I will switch sides. How hard is that? Is it REALLY that difficult to do? If you believe so strongly in something, don't you think you'd know more about it?

not only was your post a non reply, but you were citing a post by me which you all but forgot about by your second reply. i already showed which types of deaths cud be avoided by not having gun ownership thus PROVING the second part{ofcourse u didnt even know what you were replying to so i dont know how much sense all this was making in your head}. and i asked you to give evidence to the contrary since you were CONTESTING my claim, and you go on to babble about the burden of proof being on me, while u talk about sumthing completely different from MY post that YOU quoted and go on to say that i have no proof{when i have showed which types of deaths area avoided by having no private gun ownership} and go on to say that the whole point is that i am an ignorant fool who beleives sumthing out of ignorance.

do you have any idea how silly and rude you sound? or is this random babbling and feining incoeherence another one of KMC's idiotic debating tactics which among other things tries to veil itself by the sheer amount of random and strawman bullshit it spews which makes it troublesome not only to keep track of the conversationg, but get lost in justifying one'self againt the number of idiotic allegations and strawmen being made, which continually mutates from post to post? orrrr. r u just drunk?

not only was your post a non reply, but you were citing a post by me which you all but forgot about by your second reply. i already showed which types of deaths cud be avoided by not having gun ownership thus PROVING the second part{ofcourse u didnt even know what you were replying to so i dont know how much sense all this was making in your head}. and i asked you to give evidence to the contrary since you were CONTESTING my claim, and you go on to babble about the burden of proof being on me, while u talk about sumthing completely different from MY post that YOU quoted and go on to say that i have no proof{when i have showed which types of deaths area avoided by having no private gun ownership} and go on to say that the whole point is that i am an ignorant fool who beleives sumthing out of ignorance.

do you have any idea how silly and rude you sound? or is this random babbling and feining incoeherence another one of KMC's idiotic debating tactics which among other things tries to veil itself by the sheer amount of random and strawman bullshit it spews which makes it troublesome not only to keep track of the conversationg, but get lost in justifying one'self againt the number of idiotic allegations and strawmen being made, which continually mutates from post to post? orrrr. r u just drunk?




Seems like one massive dodge of a post.

Edit - Notice I didn't respond to any of your words in the above post? It contains too much ignorance and "I have no clue what's going on" to warrant a response."

Let me recap:

No, the burden of proof is on the people wanting to take the rights away. When taking rights away under the banner of "it will make us safer", you must prove, almost inexorably, that the loss of rights is warranted.

If nothing changes, on average, after guns are taken away, then they most certainly should be allowed to keep them as a "freer" society is a better society. Opressing rights with a false idea is not a good idea.



No justification for owning fire arms is needed as it's a law that is allowed. There is no need to justify something that is rediculously legal. However, if you want to take away rights, you must demostrate why.


Again, prove your idea. I don't have to prove jack beause it's already a law. I already have the right.

So why O' why, sir, can you not provide data. You are so good at "a-level" course work, yet you can't approach the subject scientifically.


Here, let me restate my post:

i did, all the many types of deaths which legal firearms are responsible for wud be gone. data doesnt always have to be statistics. and it seems like you have more a bone to pick with me personally than anything else.

and you dont need to restate the extant of your stupidity, it has already been demonstrated ad nauseum. you only have to reply to the post you conveniently avoided and stop the persona undertones. theyr pathetic.

Does not compute. Your logic is so horrible it's rediculous. The use of "illegal firearms" automatically makes the entire idea of "gun control" a moot point.

(In Carlos Mencia's retard voice) They are called illegal firearms for a reason. Dee dee deeee.

Show me where I said that it does.


And, in this particular case, it really does have to be statistics. Again, your logic is so horrible it's rediculous.

No, it seems you are incapable of proving to me why you hold the stance that you do on guns. It's more like empty rhetoric from you.

No matter how many times you say or type that, it still won't make it true.

Hmmm...no why would I repost it more than once? hmm

Hmmm.. hmm


Man..I just can't quite put my finger on why I keep reposting it. hmm

I already replied to it. It is a dodge post and in no way addresses the topic correctly. Your fail of logic in that post is a waste of time to even address. I'd rather keep it on topic instead of you pretending to pretend like you can play word games.

Nah. They are rather obvious, and no way subversive or hidden. And what's pathetic is your "logic."

empty claim, no reply, gotcha

not only did u again fail to elaborate HOW its a moot point, but u failed to convince me.



no it doesnt, you failed to reply. i think the reason you CHOOSE not to refer to actual points in the argument and are happy just waving them away is because if you did, ud actually have to DEBATE and let the line of questioning continue and develop. no no, its easy to just sidestep thing until they cant be kept a track of of.

the last part is to be blamed on ur intellect



u mean it wont make it any more true than it already is



because your stupid.



you didnt address a single point made, which makes you a liar.

so ur admitting to being a rude and personally offensive?

No sir. You lack the ability to understand what I just pointed out. I'm quite certain that everyone else understands the point I just illustrated.

Okay. In that case, you try to get a drug approved without any data (statistics) and only what you intend the drug to do. Let me know if it convinces anyone

Try to do anything in the professional world without some sort of evidence or data to back up your reasons and you'll be laughed at.

No, I am indicating that your use of "undertones" is incorrect. It was what one might call an indirect insult or a witty comeback. And, your fail of logic makes itself apparent, yet again. I didn't admit to persona overtones. I admitted to blatant persona. Even thought this would not be the correct way to say it. Pompous, sarcastic, smartass...those would be better ways of saying it. Since I'm not a total jerk and realize that English isn't your first language, I don't point out those odd word combinations you make because the meaning can be derived in context. (BTW, that's how logic is SUPPOSED to be used. You're welcome.)

nowhere in there do i see on topic sentence dealing in the least with the points i made. they seem to be ad hominem attacks anc cheap insults.

nice job on the subtle jab at my inability to work with english though, as if that wud say anything even if it were true.

quite pathetic. and you are ill equipped mentally, to lecture me on how logic is supposed to work. too many of your own posts work against you here.

Now, on with your evidence.


I'm ready to be convinced. Show me, sir, your evidence to sway me to the side of eliminating guns from America. If you show me the data and it's sound, I promise, I'll switch sides. That's all I want. smile

You did not deal with that.



Let me put it this way:

I dealt with you refusing to back up your claims.

You dodged.

I reposted.


You dodged.



Etc. etc.


Now, I'v decided to be civil and give you another chance.



Where is your data on gun control?


Where is it, sir? And to take care of your next 10 posts.

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where is it?



Now, either provide your evidence to make your case or concede that you're an idiot.

really, because i was under the mistaken impression that per capita ownership of guns showed no corellation with decrease in crime rate gunshot wounds. silly me.

First, you're an idiot because making a baseless claim doesn't mean the another person has the burden of proof, second, here you go:

Gun Crime in China Up
UK gun crime up after handgun ban

Ownership of Guns Lowers Crime

2 years after New Jersey passed the most stringent gun control laws in the country in 1966, the murder rate went up 46% and robbery almost doubled

UK gun crime keeps rising even with stringent bans
