Owners of concealed weapons who pull stunts like his risk the suspension of their licenses as well as being charged for endangerment of those around them.

Wow, that's a really great deterrent. I could be a hero, or I could have my gun away from me and being charged for 'endangerment of those around me' for directly causing many deaths and woundings.

Exactly how many people do you think are going to consider the consequences of their idiocy before they wave their big stwong gun around anyway?

a Government report, UNbiased??? *eyebrowsed raised to hairline*
............................. BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Whew~! thanx for the laugh. ah man, i needed that.

ah the naive.
(sorry, couldn't be bothered to put the smileys back in)

Excuse me, a government report would be biased towards gun control... so if you want to win this debate I'd keep quiet if I were you... ;)

Throwing in my two bits here.... maybe a nickel more.

I thought that essay was very well thought-out/written DangerDude.

I say, it's been time-proven that PROHIBITION of any kind doesn't work.
It just does not work. It looks nice on paper, and it sounds good to the ear (to mine as well) but the reality doesn't change.

Educating minds and changing hearts is really the only the thing that works in this world.

(I think I threw in another penny or two there...)

Cheers.

*sigh*, looks like people are still at it.

Its pretty bloody simple really, to the point that anyone should understand it.


America = gun culture = people want guns = gun control wont work

Europe = not a gun culture = people dont want guns = lack of gun control wont work

If you're comparing gun control to the Prohibition on alcohol, there's a big difference. People need alcohol far more than they need guns.

All of them.

In a manner of speaking, that does sum it up well.
