Hyperqube Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, and the highest/nearly highest murder rate involving firearms.Chicago? this Chicago? 14th in the list, Chicago? St. Louis, Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore & Newark have 2 or even 3 times as much murders per capita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHC President-TPF- Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 We did try to get rid of some high power guns. NRA put a quick stop to that. We literally introduced a bill to stop people on the terrorist watchlist from buying weapons and they shut that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervise Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 As always: Mass shooting occurs -> let's do everything except get rid of guns because that will solve the problem somehow Countdown until next mass shooting: Less Than 1 Day Just had to fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakamoto Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Another good example is Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden. Murder rates: .7 homicides per 100,000 people. Gun laws: For civilians it's illegal to carry a firearm unless there is a specific, legal, purpose (hunting, going to range, etc.) But, there are 1.47 firearm related deaths per 100,000 people, with 1.2 of those beings suicides. You can also collect guns, but they must have a very clean history. See the continual pattern of stricter gun laws, leading to lower homicides?

Vrakos Anthrakir Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 thread goes from body armour to gun control :u rip original topic In my opinion, banning civilian body armour isn't going to solve any of the underlying issues. I don't think having body armour or not was a deciding factor for any of the past mass-shooters to go on a shooting spree or not :u As to the gun control part, I live in Massachusetts, yes, firearm owner, yes, NRA member (don't hate plis). Laws in MA are pretty strict on firearms and I'd be perfectly fine with the rest of the country adopting similar/equal measures. Nothing unreasonable about background checks, needing a license, that sorta thing. My only problem with adopting stricter national gun control laws is that I don't feel it solves any root issues (why are these people performing mass-shootings? were there warning signs? did nobody pay attention to these warning signs?)

I think most people agree the root cause of these mass shootings is generally some kind of mental illness. It seems like that comes up a lot (at least in the ones that aren't clearly terrorist-driven). The obvious solution would be to get help for all of these people and help them deal with their issues. The practical solution would be to do everything we can to keep them from getting guns. Since no one seems interested in doing the first one, we better do the second one.
