"Safe gun usage ?" Yep, as in if you have a legitimate reason for having one. I.e - agriculture, range, sport. Zero need for carrying one around for “defence”, it’s a sh*t argument. | |||

"I don't consider shooting animals legitimate " Nor do I, hunting isn’t really what I consider “sport”, and with the sport reference I refer to events like the Olympics with clay pigeon, target etc. | |||

" It's awful. No doubt this will bring out all the experts on another Country's choices on guns(albeit I don't agree with them). 503 people have been killed in protests against a brutal regime in Iran an 2 males hanged after a dubious trial. Worthy of discussing too." That's a discussion for another thread, what are you an MP deflecting the original post  | |||

"In a nutshell “America”. Will the parents be prosecuted? Unlikely. Even though I advocate for safe gun usage, I still can’t wrap my head around why they need some of the weapons they have. "How does a 6 year old get hands on a loaded gun and have the skills to shoot it? I wonder what path that kids life is heading down. Stop writing on the walls Jonny... Bang bang. And how scary to be a teacher in that environment? | |||

"You do not have bears coyotes rattlesnakes etc.." Worldwide there are an average of 44 bear attacks on people, most occur when people are in the woods (where the bears live). Most snake bites happen when people accidentally step on a snake in the undergrowth. If you encounter a snake, just walk away, it'll probably not chase you, but if it does... they don't run very fast. Coyotes also rarely attack. The average number of coyote attacks in the US each year is 10. Around half of those occur in California. Again, they mostly occur when people go into the coyotes' habitat. The likelihood of these things happening in everyday life are less than one in 60 million. Does that really justify more guns than people in the US? In the US, an average of 320 people are shot, 111 of them fatally, EVERY DAY. So... there are more fatal shootings every single day in The USA than there are Bear attacks, Coyote Attacks or Fatal Snake bites in a year. Cal | |||

"Our handguns are secured by the bedside in safes.mine on my side his on his side. The longuns are stored in one in the closet. You can't access them without your fingerprints. why though do you keep guns? self protection and I enjoy shooting and hunting. Target shooting I can understand but I cannot grasp why anyone would enjoy killing a living creature. In my opinion, guns do not belong anywhere other than secure gun clubs and the military. Nita Agreed. My partner is a firearms officer in the Police, he had to have specialist training which needs updating regularly.....I find it abhorrent that people can freely access guns Because its a constitutional right to bear arms in most states in the US. You would be pissing in the wind to think you would ever change it. To be fair, the ARMS available when the constitution was written in 1787 were single shot and barrel loaded, they were capable of firing 2-3 shots per minute and were only accurate for 30-50 meters. Any arguments about the 2nd ammendment protecting against the introduction of gun restriction are wrong. There are many restrictions already in place as to what type of firearms are permitted. They could easily implement a ban on all firearms whilst still allowing citizens to "bear arms" such as a club, a slingshot, a tazer, pepper spray, or a pair of nunchucks. Cal Arms evolved the musket back then was the AR of the time. How do you suggest taking them away from a populace that considers them a right? Both on a state and federal level. Raid each individual home? That would be insane because you have to apply a warrant to each individual household. Without that its illegal search and seizure. That will go over so well." According to polls in the states, nearly three quarters of Americans believe there is an issue with gun crime and tighter gun controls are required. Obviously there would need to be a series of steps towards banning them. Banning the sale of hand guns would be a start, working towards a total ban on hand guns via buy back schemes. Setting a maximum number of bullets a weapon is able to hold, and a maximum rate of fire would help reduce mass shootings. Controlling the number of firearms any household can own would also help, as currently the average is 4 per (gun owning) houshold. Currently around a third of Americans own a gun, but there are more (registered) guns than there are people. Ultimately, if there's a will there's a way. Cal | |||

"I've heard so many discussions on personal firearms. Still cant get my head around people who want them completely banned. Here in the UK we are, sort of, lucky that not many shootings occur. I remember here back when uk banned all weapons, there was a senior police official who publicly stated that its not the right thing to do as it drives it all underground and very difficult to trace back. I knew a couple living in London a few years after the ban and they left the country lol. The wife worked in a bank and they kept getting armed robbers come in. She moved banks a few times but the last one was very dramatic so the left the country. There are some places that having a weapon for self defence is a very legitimate thing. I know when I lived in Africa there were many many times that having a weapon saved my own and others lives. But I know there that if you didn't follow all the legal rules like secure gun safes you lost your license full stop. You had to have police clearance and you had to have a doctors certificate to get a licensee. Renewed every year. In America they have laws and rules but no one actually follows them " Do you think that we would have gun problems in this country if they weren’t banned? | |||

Banning hand guns in the UK took 99.9% of guns off the street. Yes there were a small number that "went underground" but criminals generally don't stick to the rule regardless. In the large majority of cases in the US, shootings are committed with legally owned weapons, including 88% of mass all their shootings. This seems to suggest that legal guns are the biggest problem.

Cal" and there is just as many unregistered pre data base. I have family hierloom ones. Winchesters. Again in order to inact a total ban both local state and federal have to agree 2 strip away rights and amend the constitutions.That would be 2 rights gone. See how complicated that would be. Some states might agree to those rights being taken away some will not. Can't help it you can not see the complexity of it. The only way is to have the military go door to door and even then there is issues because they swore oaths to the constitution. Not the politicians. | |||
