As a proud owner of firearms, there should be common sense to a point - mentally ill should not be allowed to have weapons.
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as a civilian "assault weapon." What people don't realize is that a 30-06, .308 hunting rifle is far more powerful than an AR-15. An AR-15 is designed to look military type. A handgun, if equipped with FMJ hollow point rounds can tear through Kevlar. If you are gonna gripe, know your shite

Not just a matter of power, you can kill someone with a .22.
If you're a lunatic set to shoot up some crowded area like a school or a mall, what's going to net you faster kills, the more powerful bolt-action rifle, or the less powerful semi-auto? Exactly.
Shut up about ma gunz, they're very sensitive to criticism.

The way I see it..most gun murders are done with handguns. I'm not saying ban handguns, but for people out there who do argue to ban certain types of guns..wouldn't it make the most sense to try to ban handguns?

I see where you're coming from, but from my point of view, if you're wanting to ban something I love because of others mistreatment of it, then when we as a society should also ban the other objects that have killed more humans than my object of enjoyment.
And then there's also bombs whose recipes assembly instructions can be gleaned right off the open internet.
If a lunatic is going to kill people, a lunatic can succeed if they are just average in intelligence.
I believe it was Symmetric Chaos that said we should do something reasonable enough to prevent someone from killing tons of people (we were talking about RPGs and RPG Launchers). So I think I agree with that gun control idea: don't let people have things absurdly powerful like RPGs? I guess?
The uk has gun control AND a ban on knives. You know what? There is still knife crime and gun crime.
You know what else? People have killed people with knives and machetes and guns and everything. It isnt the gun. Its crazy people. Sort out your crazy people first.
Guns are safe. If they were as dangerous as people make them out to be, considering the number of gun owners in the world (canada, japan and norway also like guns) there would be millions more homicides and suicides and manslaughters than the shit we hear already.

Well, he got arrested and put in jail, so there's that. What else should we do? Kill all Muslims so they won't hurt us again? Why don't you guys just kill all gun owners so that no more mass shootings happen? (That'd be ****ing stupid, that's why.) I don't really see a couple of attacks here and there as being worse than the amount of shootings that happen in America. Of course these two issues are different and complex in their own way, but it's not like America (I won't refer to you as "you people") have done anything to curb your almost-constant massacres.
I agree with that. Our economic system is pretty much in shambles right now. Our government is highly corrupt and run by people with lots of ties to the richest people in the country. Our new Prime Minister has been known in the past to overhype issues so that the security company her husband owns major shares in can get contracts and make money. And we have about four years until our next general election. So yeah, we might be pretty screwed.
It's reactions like this why we can't have a reasonable discourse on gun control reform, the opposite end of the spectrum is the "Ban all guns! Melt them all down!" ranters.
Seems your point is that we already have reasonanble gun control laws(ie rps are illegal)? Considering the amount of gun related deaths in the US, I dissagree, I believe we as a nation can do better. I don't pretend to have the answers, but stone-walling any talks of gun control like the NRA pushes isn't it. Other countries lowered their gun related deaths, no reason we shouldn't be able to either.
