While reducing the number of guns available will not deter crime 100% of the time, I believe it will reduce the number of fatalities. However, this just means that violent offenders will find other means of destroying lives.

The only real good that would come about from reducing (and eventually eliminating) guns is a sharp decline in accidental deaths due to children (or stupid adults) playing with guns.

I still like Chris Rock's idea of charging $5000 for a bullet. That way, you make sure you kill who you want to kill rather than spraying bullets everywhere and killing innocent by standers.

Since the Government's "total ban" five years ago, there are more and more guns being used by more and more criminals in more and more crimes. Now, in the wake of Birmingham's New Year bloodbath, there are calls for the total ban to be made even more total: if the gangs refuse to obey the existing laws, we'll just pass more laws for them not to obey. According to a UN survey from last month, England and Wales now have the highest crime rate of the world's 20 leading nations.

America: lots of guns, lots of crime. Britain: few guns, lots of crime. Japan: few guns, little crime. Switzerland: lots of guns, little crime.</font>

<font color="CC33CC">I'm definitely more curious than adamant about this issue. When you say crime, am I supposed to assume that you mean crimes that involve guns? If so, I can see the relevance, but if not, then how about some figures on deaths by handguns per country (I don't think there'd be quite the huge amount of deaths by, say, pocketknife, though I could be wrong)? Hold on, let me look that up right quick. Hopefully not found on an NRA site.

Information on child deaths by handguns from http://www.cap-gunviolence.org/furinfo.html:

"In 1995, firearms killed 0 children 0-19 years old in Japan, 19 in Great Britain, 57 in Germany, 109 in France, 153 in Canada, and 5,285 in the United States. (1)

The rate of firearm deaths among children 0-14 years old is nearly TWELVE times higher in the United States than in 25 other industrialized countries combined. (2)

The suicide rate for children 0-14 years old is TWICE as high in the U.S. than in 25 other industrialized countries combined. There is no difference in the nonfirearm suicide rate between the U.S. and the 25 other countries. Virtually all the difference is attributable to suicides being committed with guns in the U.S. (3)

The unintentional firearm related death rate for children 0-14 years old is NINE times higher in the U.S. than in the 25 other countries combined. (4)

The firearm-related homicide rate for children 0-14 years old is nearly SIXTEEN times higher in the U.S. than in the 25 other countries combined. The nonfirearm-related homicide rate in
the U.S. is nearly four times the rate in all of the other countries. Again, the difference in the homicide rates is largely due 10 incidents involving guns. (5) "

For some reason, finding source information that isn't children-centric is a bit difficult. You'd think I'm asking for something simple here.

Here is an article that explains why having guns decreases violent crime. http://www.quickshoot.com/excerpts.html

And here is another HUGE article that I only briefly looked at the outline of that rebukes it saying that many owners put others in danger b/c of lack of safety training. Which I'd say is more of the owner's responsibility than the gun's.

http://www.vpc.org/studies/uninsum.htm

I loathe to side with the wildly pro-handgun for the sake of protection folks soley b/c I don't think that they're looking at the roots of the problem. It may be obvious, there may be different takes on it, but I'll just say that poverty and the unequal treatment of nonwhite Americans (now, this is just aside from psycho white kids and husbands freaking out b/c they're spoiled insane little shits) has created a problem of vast proportions that we'll be dealing with for a while. That is why 20 black or Hispanic kids can die in gang violence and not even be whispered about, while 10 kids can die at the hands of the white shooters I just mentioned and be talked about on tv for the next year. It starts scaring people when it affects the affluent and those In Charge. Is it capitalism? Do we need to incorporate more socialism-oriented reforms to take care of the poor? Or something entirely different? I don't think that we have a sustainable economic system, that is, except for those that it benefits. Sorry to turn this into that sort of debate, but I really do think it's relevant as far as causes go. I don't mind capitalism per se so much as thinking it needs to be tweaked a bit to serve the poorest while simultaneously rewarding those who have the ability to work in the system.

Besides, you can't just pick and choose the amendments like you want. Gotta live with some of them.

I'll disagree with you here. I think that things like freedom to assemble do not inherently contain a great negative impact while bearing arms is multifaceted. As far as a revolution goes, I don't even know if a few hundred thousand folk waving their guns is the way that reform can happen these days. There need to be alternative approaches that aren't as clear cut as taking out a central baddie. B/c, honestly, if you take out Mr. Bush or his cabinet, what then? It's an interesting question. Any takers?</font>

Well I guess I'm one of the rare people that agree with Mr. R. Gun control should stay where it is. What we need is better enforcement of the laws we have right now. Just like the junkie who needs a fix/drugs, a criminal knows where to find a gun. Stronger guns laws only hurt the lawful abiding citizen who DO have the right to own them. Most criminals know, if the laws are applied forcefully, that they know better than go to a gun shop. More laws aren't the answer.

its a false sense of security is what it is. that gun is going to do absolutely nothing in the face of any sort of organized or determined threat. even in defending your home from a burglar a gun isnt going to be terribly effective in close range combat. if you're that serious about self-defense go take some kendo classes and buy yourself a nice katana. shit, buy a chainsaw if you really want a deterrent. or landmines. build a bunker. get a steel-reinforced door. but don't pussy foot around with a tiny little gun and think you're safe as long as you've got it in the nighttable drawer

However -
I'll let you keep your gun under these conditions -

1. You don't use it to shoot children.
2. You keep it locked away.
3. You don't use it to rob liquor stores.
4. You keep it well away from me.

Incedentally - if there's UN inspectors searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, where's the ones searching the US? Double standard?

You don't think I'm warrented to be concerned about government oppression? Why should private citizens be denied use of guns when the government can? That's just asking for trouble.</font>

it was pretty easy for the guys that robbed me and my workmates and pointed a gun at my face

he's afraid of his ganja being confiscated. Then again, if we legalized all narcotics in America, there would be a hell of a lot less gun-related fatalities.

ok ok ... the playstation comment was a little OTT

have you ever been subject to govenment oppression?

your abject fear of your governement turning into some sort of pseudo-religious dictatorship is absolutely amazing. Now bear with me, I'm not very nouse with regards to the history of American politics ... but you seriously consider this a reality in this day and age ... 11,000 odd gun related deaths be damned

yes and if you legalized homicide, there would be a lot less crime!

if someone tried to confiscate my ganj I'd probably take after you with a shotgun

America may be becoming an Evil Empire, but they're not going nearly as far as Rhino thinks.

Mr. Rhino is a couch potato activist. He's too lazy to go to city hall meetings and write to politicians, so he buys a handgun, humorously believing that he's making a difference.

his hand gun is just his seatbelt (metaphoricaly). you dont get in traffic accidents every day but you still wear your seatbelt just in case...

plus the gun is the only universal language

<font color=#007AAA face="courier new">Why do you insist on speaking on my behalf? God you're a fucking moron. I'm not to lazy to do anything, I know already that it doesn't do a damn bit of good to even try. You're the stupid fuck who writes his congressman like it FUCKING MATTERS. They don't give a shit about what you write, you stupid turdbrain. Shit, if I was a politician and I got an e-mail or a letter from you I'd probably throw it away since you're such a dumbass.

Buying a handgun has nothing to do with making a difference it has to do with protection against many things. A well armed populace is very hard to oppress. You're the pansy who can't handle the fact that banning guns won't make a damned bit of difference. Shut the fuck up already, freedom hating fascist bitch.</font>

I'm reminded of something Michael Moore ask's in his recent documentary 'Bowling for Columbine'


Why not do it the way Gandhi did it? He didn't have guns - and he managed to overthrow the British Empire (who had guns)

ok he was a bit of a nuttah ... he would have gladly seen ranks of his fellow countrymen slaughtered over idealist principles. However I have been reading a book called 'Freedom at Midnight' about the independence and partition of India in 1947 and though it tends to be somewhat pro-British in it's outlook ... it does make clear that if were not for Gandhi and his struggles India would have remained a colony

Rhino's extreme paranoia is "logical"? I meant in general. You assume a bit too much about everything. Especially things you're crapshooting about.

Did you even read the correlations between the guns and crime rate? The fact is that guns are not to blame for crime. Get your facts more straight then trusting FBI-sourced information.

You're the one decieving yourself when you think writing to a politician or attending a city hall meeting will actually make a difference.

That's because he probably bought it legally, which is the point Sean was making

Sorry to hear about that =/

Michael Moore starts the show by opening an account at a Minnesota bank that gave away a firearm with each new account.
