If you read the links it becomes clear that the regulation in place are not enough and should be heavily tightened.
Since 2017 less than a dozen people were shot and killed in Norway. So if your country can have sensible gun ownership by sensible regulations, why can't all countries do the same?
Ova there, however, it's a different ballgame and I still think you're off target.
Unless I can see some stats that support the idea that mentally unstabile registrated gun owners are responsible for a relatively large amount of shooting cases... I think 0.001%.
So you leave a whole group defenseless for some symbol politics. Can't have that in Reno.
During the same time period in the USA 1,476 people were murdered by knife or any other cutting instrument. Guns is currently a much bigger problem. It's too easy to kill someone with a gun.
No training is required before buying a gun. TEXAS.
The fact remains that the mentality of some in the US presents a major problem that can only be solved by a complete rehash of regulations applying to weapon purchase.
Of course, criminals will obtain weapons, no one is denying that, but the number will be less if tighter regulations are in place.
You don't need a semi-automatic to go hunting, a skilful hunter should still be able to shoot cleanly a deer with a standard shotgun.
Most would respect a hunter who used skill as opposed to just waving a rapid-firing gun haphazardly in the direction of his prey.
Washington was the only Commander In Chief to actually command troops on combat duty as President.
It is hilarious that you an Irishman would sneer at the 2nd Amendment after the bravery of those resisting the excesses of the RIC and the imported police. I have met some of the brave Provos of the 70s and I am sure they would have words for you were they here. Give Ireland back to the Irish. LoL
Could you tell me what an American Christian perspective should be,as I will be hearing it from an atheist foreigner first?
Is this sensationalizing, or terribly important we get this from your news choice or are you more affected across the pond than I could ever comprehend. What's the drill here General.
I love direct people ..knock yourself out!!
This cumbersome task will not only remind the owner to take responsibility but would also dissuade the prospective buyer to think twice before purchasing something he cant/wont look after.
Just an idea for a lil more control instead of completely banning the ownership of guns.
