I do not support mass murder in any way, shape or form. Let me make that clear right outta the gate.

I know, this is going to cause some arguing, but I'd rather it created discussion.

I'm not going to be posting much on this thread, I'm too busy today, but I am curious about the votes on this.

Is it that we are indeed for the greatest part prepared mentally and emotionally to own guns for self defense, and all these shootings are hyped up and spun by the media - some will even say they're FFs - to the end of PUSHING gun control?

There is indeed senseless murders happening, but are these people pulling the trigger a true reflection of the rest of the USA society?

I don't think they are....mikeno


Taking away our ability to defend ourselves and our communities should NEVER happen, just because there are a few who are off their rockers.


My vote was yes.

there are plenty of methods to kill which don't involve firearms, but those don't fit the agenda so we don't really hear about it when it happens.

Re: HOT TOPIC: Is the USA population MATURE enough to own guns?
Part of it is and part of it isn't. The problem is that if common sense discrimination were exercised, the anti self defense creeps who want to disarm everyone would eruption into violence necessitating their just elimination from the gene pool which would them be used as a justification by international and internal enemies to pressure anti self defense and slavery measures even more. And so on an so forth. Personally, I think we may as well get the party started for good or for il because the current and future world is utterly unacceptable without drastic change.

The term Maturity is not quantifiable & a very odd one to use.

What's a "Mature Population" look like, aside from just plain old? Example?

Re: HOT TOPIC: Is the USA population MATURE enough to own guns?
This is a strawman premise, basically. It aligns with the notion of disarming everybody for the actions of a few. I'M mature enough, and I'm not going to stand for being punished for the actions of someone else.

"Is the USA population MATURE enough to own guns?"


That ain't the question.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85527363



Yeah, yet it is my question....charlie


Let me explain....


We have all these people screaming how many more of our kids are going to be gunned down in schools, before guns are abolished?

It's their battle cry. It makes those of us pro 2nd Amendment supporters look heartless....because that's all they've got.

The thing is, what they seem to be unable to comprehend, is that guns don't pick themselves up and shoot people. Guns have no maliciousness within them. Indeed they do not think or feel. They are tools of defense....unless a whack job has other things in mind.

And what will be used once guns are gone....bombs? Driving cars into playgrounds full of kids? I'm sure these sick minds can think of a myriad of ways to kill children/people.

Or would the killing suddenly and magically stop....because fucking (immature, "I'm the boss") legislatures got their way.

An entire nation of people unarmed, and ripe for the picking, eh?....shrug

Why is it these people cannot see beyond their emotions?....it's ground in some form of immaturity.

I personally don't want these immature and single minded people making up my mind about my personal defense.


Like I said, I take zero joy in children being gunned down in their schools. Yet this call to ban guns due to it is so erroneous, like just about every other social issue today.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Who's going to win?

This was my reply in another thread.

Americans are too dumb to owning guns.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83669920


I've owned guns for over 40 years. None of my guns have killed any people. So why do my guns need to be taken away, other than for the government to have complete control?

 Quoting: Crash


As for younger people, maybe some changes wouldn't hurt. Some 18 year olds today just don't seem mature enough. But that's a sticky topic, because what about the men and women of our military? If you go with can't own a gun till 25 years old, what about people that get out of the military and are say 22 or 23? You telling me they aren't mature enough to own a gun after already being in the military and trained with guns?

I'm sorry but the right to self defense at any level has to be honored.

If you can't defend yourself, you have to right to your life... let alone liberty or the pursuit of happiness.

Any restriction on it makes one a slave, essentially.

Here's a better question: "Should the government be entrusted with a monopoly of force?"

The obvious answer, is no. International globalist elites have subverted the western world. Every level of government and media is filled with corruption. Is it a good idea to take the guns away from the people, so that only the stormtroopers of the corrupt ruling class have them? No. It's not.

Re: HOT TOPIC: Is the USA population MATURE enough to own guns?
A better question might be: "Is the criminal population(including those with uniforms) mature enough to possess guns?".

How about the political(criminal) class?

How about nose-glasses Schumer(he carries)?

If those creatures have guns, why not the rest of us law abiding folks?

Actually, it's irrelevant. The constitution guarantees the right to carry/bear arms.

Based on the material posted by both AC's and GLP Members, there are very few that would be able to obtain weapons if they ever go to checking out web history of applicants. Very few would qualify if any.

Guns should be legal in every country. As criminals get a hold of a gun anywhere as they wish regardless if it's illegal or not.
