So because it's effectively impossible to ever get rid of our many, many guns in this country, I think we need to use this thread for what's really important in today's America: unrealistic depictions of guns in media. Stop adding in CGI muzzle flashes, Hollywood!  Alternatively, what's everyone's favorite gun? Mines the 1911.

Volcott posted:I mean, yes, that puts me at a disadvantage if someone tries to burgle me, but I live in the woods, not the inner city. Guns are one of the most commonly stolen items from homes so there's basically no reason to ever have one in your house that isn't in a safe that's also in another, larger, safe.

LeJackal posted:You can also turn a not-assault-weapon into an assault weapon by changing accessories, and not altering the fundamental features of the firearm. The top one's function is to shoot [X] number of times before needing to reload. The bottom one's function is to shoot [Y] number of times before needing to reload. Technically they are merely functionally similar, not the same.

Rakosi posted:What do the pro-gun crowd say about the hordes of evidence that suggest gun restrictions/bans have a statistically significant effect in reducing gun crime in most other countries that have such legislation. Is the argument for guns literally only "Its our rights!!" and "black people will immediately rape my family in the middle of the night if I dont have firearms under my pillow"? The usual go-to argument is that those countries are "culturally homogenous" which roughly translates to "around blacks never relax". Edit: the argument that there are too many guns in America already is probably the best/only valid argument against gun control.

various cheeses posted:A lot of those studies are based on extremely massaged statistics and are funded directly by gun control organizations. Also "gun crime" as a metric is stupid as hell. You're not an extra special kind of dead if you're killed by a gun rather than a knife or blunt object. Actually if you get killed by a gun you go to super-double-hell, so it actually does make you a special kind of dead.

Schlitzkrieg Bop posted:In theory yes. But in reality there's no way an amendment on an issue this polarizing would pass 2/3 of Congress as well as 3/4 of the states. Which is a big part of why this whole debate is really depressing: there's no way any really meaningful change can happen given the current makeup of the country and government. Yeah, pretty much. People joke about shrugging our shoulders and saying "I guess nothing can be done about crazy people getting guns" but that's more or less completely true.

Hexium posted:If America had the ethnic makeup of most European countries, America's gun homicide rate would be comparable to most European countries. Hexium posted:Probably, most of the guns used by criminals are bought off the black market. I don't see why that wouldn't be possible in Europe, as recent events in France have shown. So what I'm getting here is that you believe whites and non-whites cannot coexist without violence. Interesting.

I think guns are fine, we just need to ban the use of a chemical propellant and make it so you have to pump your firearm like a BB gun. No using gas cartridges to cheat either, you have to pressurize it by hand the good old fashion way. This way you can still hunt and target shoot or hold it in your hand while standing naked in front of a mirror with your microdick tucked between your legs so you can finally feel like a real man if only for a moment or whatever, but it's way harder to kill 12 people.

I think we can all agree that at the very least crossbows are objectively better than guns at everything except shooting multiple things quickly or one thing multiple times. I propose we have a government program to exchange any gun for a crossbow.
