The gun, or the criminal?

[nintendofan85]

I don't completely support gun control (due to self-defense) but I believe there should be more regulations. I don't think mentally ill people or people that have a criminal history should have a gun.

Is being concerned about the accidental shootings by non-crazy people such as children too liberal?

that is a valid point, however, if you arent smart enough to hide a gun from your kid, you should not be a parent.

spoons made me fat guys

and gross was a poor word to choose
surprising is a better term

Well if I had a deadly weapon in my purse. I definitely would not let my kid get anywhere near it or have it just laying around. People that own a gun need to take them more seriously.

Legalizing guns could end them

People are going to do stupid **** no matter what

Guns can easily be 3D printed.

i could make a simple shotgun out of two lengths of pipe and a nail

Guns can easily be 3D printed.

that will be a problem in the future when 3d printers are easily accessible

just legalize them so people don't have to get them in dangerous ways

it's like abortion, make it illegal and people are still going to do it in dangerous ways

Over all, the largest number of deaths came at the upper end of the age range, with ages 13 and 14 being most common ? not necessarily surprising, given that parents generally allow adolescents greater access to guns.

So who should be able to own or handle a gun? Even if you think they're old enough to handle a gun safely, accidents can always happen when guns are made a "normal" thing.

do you know what also causes accidents?
cars
there is no regulations on cars (except age of course)
accidents happen in any way you can think of

 

[piichinu]

cars are a necessity in a lot of areas tho

valid point, but there are so many other examples of things that cause accidents that arent banned
