Belligerentkj @Belligerentkj There is not an argument about gun control that can sway someone's opinion. As all arguments are contradictions. As I aforementioned humans are predators. We are capable of kindness and destruction in the same breath. We are the angles and...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @Belligerentkj There's no need to speculate. You can see a summary of the 650 homicide cases which occurred in 2019 in the UK in the link below. Of those, 257 were stabbings and only 28 were gun crimes. Nearly all were targeted victims known to the killer....

Just an Ordinary Owl? @Belligerentkj Suicide was decriminalised in 1961 so that people failing in a suicide attempt cannot be charged with a crime. However, anyone "assisting, aiding or abetting suicide" is considered guilty of a crime and liable, on conviction, to be imprisoned...

Okay, I often see these posts around here, and how people wish (both domestic and abroad) how we'd lose our guns completely (without any degree of wiggle room). These people all have good intentions, but for the life of them,...

Morgan @Belligerentkj I fully agree with all the points. I think corporal punishment was a big turning point. I blame the lawyers even more than that. Lawsuits gave people the ability to threaten others. If a bully is tormenting a child, and that child strikes back...

There are so many different aspects of gun control that the Democratic party are not willing to address. One of the main isseus is Border control. There is no moral high ground for Democratics or Republicans to take on this issue....

John Welford @Belligerentkj The original purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to allow citizens to be ready to deal with external threats by joining "well-regulated militias" and to keep firearms in their homes so that they could respond quickly. It was the old "minute man"...

John Welford @Belligerentkj Murder rates are determined by head of population, so absolute numbers do not come into it. When making comparisons it is very easy to throw figures around. I agree, the events in Paris in November 2015 were terrible, with more than 150...

John Welford @Belligerentkj I agree with Piers Morgan! As a Brit, I cannot agree that you have all the gun controls you need. Ideally, you would repeal the 2nd Amendment, which has long outlived its original purpose, but I can accept that that is not going to happen. It...

In my mind's eye I see teachers of the not too distant future wearing gun straps on their person and look like detectives with the gun hidden under their jackets on a arm strap. What do you think?

Amber @Belligerentkj I had read a student say he had two functions at the school, but I probably read an account that was inaccurate.

For all those that believe it is their culture and right to own a gun... grow up. Look at what is going on in your country, Guns should not be owned by the majority. Pray for the loss of guns rather than the loss of lives!!!
