At the risk of sounding pedantic, banning guns will not stop people from dying. Everyone dies. Banning guns would allow more people to live for longer, and would cut down the need for so many prisons. I wonder how much 'money/taxes' those killed by guns could have contributed to the American economy had they lived. Do you think it would be more or less than the amount of 'money/taxes' raised through the sale of guns. I'm pretty sure that it would be considerably more. So it makes economic sense to bring in gun control as well. I'm not going to comment on this any more - you all know my thoughts on the subject and you can either agree or disagree as you see fit. I hope that something changes before the next massacre, but I don't hold out much hope. |

I apologise if I gave the impression that I thought you were a 'hick'. That was never my intention. |
my thoughts are the same as floyra's.
sway just wants to argue for the sake of it i think. |

The most important post in this thread! This post inadvertantly summarises the whole issue perfectly. There is a genuine belief in large parts of America, that what stops criminal activity is the threat of death (hence the seemingly baffling refusal to abolish the death penalty), and it's exactly that attitude which means that gun culture will continue to exist. The reason most people don't commit crimes (alpha male or not) has more to do with morality than the threat of punishment. |

Anyway, i'm terrified of guns and i wouldn't want to have one. But to just come up with ' another reason to ban guns' sort of statements whenever this sort of thing happens is plain laziness and and kills off what could be an interesting discussion, rather than making it flourish. I'm 100% sure that guns won't be banned after what happened, as sad as yesterday's happenings are. The society we live in is a capitalist one, therefore things like this happen and will happen again and gain. Either accept that, or else you are believing a lie, the lie that tells you that your opinion or mine count that much when it comes to decision-making.

so what is a good reason to say another reason to ban guns? |

On that point we agree. |
Guns will never be banned in America, at least not in the forseeable future. You're talking about a country who's bread and butter are violence and exploitation. Banning guns in the US would be like banning beer in Belgium.
