| | | All the classic sayings are very true.... "Criminalize guns and only criminals have guns" "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" When we take away the honest, responsible persons rights to own a gun, then only the criminals have guns. They no longer fear getting shot by a good Samaratin during the crime they are committing, they only need to fear the police. If we take away all the guns, people will kill wih knives, take away the knives, they kill with baseball bats, pipe wrenchs, wine bottles, ect. Tighter Gun Control measures are needed in some places, but not an outright ban on owning guns. I agree with some of the above comments, tougher penalties for violations of current gun control laws.

| Guns DON'T kill people. People with previously noted psychopathological mood disorders/issues viz. a viz. violent fantasies, who have unfettered access to unrestricted firearms kill people.

| | | Posted by fedge The answer is to arm everyone. People would be less likely to partake in badness to others knowing they could get shot in return. A certain type of détente...
| I'm sick of hearing this. It sounds all macho and counter-counter-revolutionary neo maxi zoom dweebie, but c'mon. Lets try to not be quite so idiotic. Do you also recommend giving everyone a car to drive around in? No matter how stupid and incapable they are of not driving over people on the sidewalk? So, you have to have some type of gun control, unless you want to keep a bin full of loaded guns on every street corner, free for anyone to grab as they walk past. THAT is no gun control. And by the way, Kubla, do you realize that you are trying to take a poll on whether or not people agree with a clause that makes no assertion at all? It doesn't make any sense to agree or disagree with your first comment.

| | | Posted by eoghan the very concept of gun control is foolish and fraudulent. it doesn't work. hell japan has baseball bat control and any knife over 3 inches control and it doesn't work either. you need to deal with the person with the problem, not the implement. i have been a shooter and gun owner all my life and if i wanted to kill alot of people in a short time i would use a car. eoghan
| Here are gun-related deaths per 100,000 people in the world's 36 richest countries: United States 14.24; Brazil 12.95; Mexico 12.69; Estonia 12.26; Argentina 8.93; Northern Ireland 6.63; Finland 6.46; Switzerland 5.31; France 5.15; Canada 4.31; Norway 3.82; Austria 3.70; Portugal 3.20; Israel 2.91; Belgium 2.90; Australia 2.65; Slovenia 2.60; Italy 2.44; New Zealand 2.38; Denmark 2.09; Sweden 1.92; Kuwait 1.84; Greece 1.29; Germany 1.24; Hungary 1.11; Republic of Ireland 0.97; Spain 0.78; Netherlands 0.70; Scotland 0.54; England and Wales 0.41; Taiwan 0.37; Singapore 0.21; Mauritius 0.19; Hong Kong 0.14; South Korea 0.12; Japan 0.05. "Tokyo is the safest major city in the world. Only 59,000 licensed gun owners live in Tokyo.[25] Per one million inhabitants, Tokyo has 40 reported muggings a year; New York has 11,000.[26] The handgun murder rate is at least 200 times higher in America than Japan.[27] The official homicide rate in Japan in 1988 was 1.2 homicide cases per 100,000 population, while in America it was 8.4 homocide cases per 100,000.[28] Robbery is almost as rare as murder. Indeed, armed robbery and murder are both so rare that they usually make the national news, regardless of where they occur.[29] Japan's robbery rate is 1.4 per 100,000 inhabitants. The reported American rate is 220.9.[30] People walk anywhere in Japan at night, and carry large sums of cash.[31]"

| Yes, and the Japanese courts have a 99% conviction rate and the prisons are a Super Happy Fun Time Human-Rights Free Zone. Maybe THAT has a little something to do with it, too.
