because they kill people.

while we're at it...
Let's ban cars since they kill more than guns.
Let's ban obesity since it kills more than guns.
Let's ban doctors since they kill more than guns.
Let's ban smoking since it kills more than guns.
Let's ban alcohol since it kills more than guns.
Let's ban toxic agents since they kill more than guns. (sad actually)

(Also deaths due to sexual behaviors comes very close to that of guns)

As far as I know hunters are allowed armour piercing rounds. Why? Is there just one big moose out in a forrest wearing a bullet-proof jacket saying "bring it on, yo arse is mine!!"


Actually, hunters are only allowed hollow tips. Armor piercing rounds will get you 2 years in the big house.

Hunting should be banned, killing animals for fun is disgusting and anyone who'd do that should seriously turn the gun on themselves... Use fireworks for ceremonies, guns are plain USELESS. The way I see it is either completely ban them or make it incredibly difficult to get a license. As for protection... Cops are supposed to do that.

Hell no. Keep guns. For those who say hunting and killing animals and all that, its the same as fishing why don't you start crying about fishing.

[sarcasm]Yes, let's ban guns! If the bad guys don't have guns, they can't kill people. They won't even get guns illegally because they know that it's wrong.[/sarcasm] Seriously, banning guns will only cause the people who want guns to go somewhere else to get them, then smuggle them back. It might slow people down, but it won't do much more than that.

A lot mental disorders can be well controlled with medication and other treatment options. And btw there aren't really any mental disorders that lead straight to violent behavior.

Psychological problems, like the one Cho Seung-Hui had, are not treatable by medication.

Ya, ok, that's really fair. So all pistols, most ausault rifles, half of the hunting rifles, and every single BB gun or pellet gun. Ya, that's really fair.

Most pistols and hunting rifles can be switched to single-shot. Also, how would an assault rifle be useful for self-defense? I'm sure that in self-defense, you would want to gib your assailant. I mean, who wouldn't want to blow an enemy's shoulder off in self-defense? Sometimes, JUST killing them isn't enough!
/sarcasm
Assault rifles are stupid in self-defense. I'm sorry, but if you're using an automatic weapon for self-defense, then there is a good chance you will hurt a bystander, either by direct fire or a stray bullet. Assault rifles are pointless to use outside of designated shooting ranges.
-------
The argument that they will just get illegal guns is stupid. Illegal guns cost much more, the individual has to be nice enough not to just shoot you and keep the money, and people like that are hard to find. Most criminals are not Mafia bosses with cash to burn, and couldn't afford an illegal gun anyway.
----------
Guns should be legal, but restricted.

It's not. It's used for hunting and target practice.

Oh look, a squirrel! Let's violently dismember it with an automatic weapon!
----------
For shooting ranges, you should be able to use pretty much any gun, because you won't be able to harm others unless you run with it, which most probably won't do. Hell, let them use a SCAR if they want to, just as long as they don't use it for self-defense. You can't kill a person by shooting a target.

Um, it's used for big game, not squirrels. For sqirrels, you use .22s.

I know. I was being absurd and sarcastic, like Rush Limbaugh.
------------
Oh look, a moose! Let's dismember it instead! Yay! (If you're hunting big game, then just use like a high cal hunting rifle or Sarah Palin.)

Too much for individual quoting. I'll generalize:

More regulations: Why? From what I've seen, those who say this want a solution, realize that banning guns won't help, but don't really want to think beyond that.

Gun Violence in England: You're right. Gun violence has gone down. Sure, home invasions and knife-crime are at an all-time high, but gun violence is down. Mission accomplished if you ask me. Good job!

But criminals will still have them: True that. I also wanted to say that the government would also still have guns, a much greater threat if you ask me.

Fine...but the criminals will find other ways to get the job done (knives, letter openers, forks, whatever). The point is that banning guns will not do much. Adding more regulations won't do anything unless you can watch everyone all the time to make sure the regulations are kept.
