Terrorists can come into this country and buy an AK47?

Guns and their ammunition should be illegal in all but the hands of law enforcement agencies and the military. "Simple as that."

Thatrs a great idea. I will completly trust the government with that sort of power.

And, as we all know, police forces are omnipresent and appear as soon as we feel we are in danger. Its not like the SUPREME FUCKING COURT said they aren't responsible for each and every person's individual safety.

To compromise your entire nation's security

How does someone buying a pistol comprmise national security?

just because you want to be a jackass and go traipsing in the woods to gun down water buffalo with a semi-automatic is worse than being immature, it's a fatal error of judgement and a fundamental issue with this country.

Where is compared to talking out your ass about something you know nothing about?

Japan and England haven't had firearms for a long time and they're safer nations because of it

Bullshit. Violent crime has risen in England in the last 10 years. In fact, you are more likely to get mugged in London than in New York City.

Also, the cities in the US withthe highest violent crime rates also happen to have the strictest gun laws (Washington DC anyone?).

Also, you are more likely to be a victim of a violent crime in Enland than the US

About Japan. that is a completly different culture. People are much more subservient to authority. Is that the society you want?

If we were to have a firearms prohibition, the first few years would be a little rougher on the victims of violent crimes and armed robbery (assuming these people were somehow able to defend themselves with a firearm in the past, i.e. VERY few cases), but if the police force was increased to a reasonable number, it'd even out over a decade or so and serve to make this nation a lot less violent in the future.

You are aware drinking actually increased during prohibition, right?

And how is banning private ownership of firearms going to stop criminals from getting them? Why can't they import them or make their own?

[/quote]You don't NEED to hunt. You don't NEED to defend yourself in a shootout at the O.K. corral.

You don't need to use the internet. You don't need to protest.

And when was the last time you saw someone walking down the street with gun on their hip like they were Billy the Kid?

If someone wants to end your career with a gun - unless you have your defense surgically attached to your palm or the oracle warned you about it earlier in the day - there is fuck all you're gonna be able to do about it.

Or if you want to learn how to properly use a firearm. But, lets not have reality mess up your perfectly good brain fart.
