Thoughts on Gun laws and the whole Arizona shooting ordeal.

i think if i were in charge of gun laws i would require all buyers to take a month long class on how to use and be responsible for the weapon. during that class, the mental state would also be evaluated.

if you are a normal person that just want to exercise his right to have a gun then fine, no issue.

if for example you are a curtis, you get thrown into the nut house immediately. :lmao:

that seems like a great idea, and i agree with that, but no funding would cover that. It would get very expensive.

the idea sounds good but whos gonna pay for all that?

but no funding would cover that. It would get very expensive.

the buyer would have to pay a "training and license" fee.

lets say $250.00 per user per gun.

if the buyers agree to pay, than why not. This would put a slight curve in who gets a gun legally and illegally. The people who the money to spend will get their gun the proper way. The people who don't have the money would buy it off the streets.

I wouldn't go per gun. Just do it like they do for pistols. One permit then add guns to that permit. And if need be then make like a $5-$10 fee to add a gun after a certain number is reached.

there would be no choice.

ok yea.

$250 for the class and license. and then add $25 per gun.

those people are going to buy off the streets regardless.

dont let the media get you all hyped up.

That's been the problem since early in the 20th century. I remember seeing a quote somewhere that went something like "if media was never around, this world would be a much better place." It's definitely the media that causes alot of the issues that plague us today with the ideas of people like that Don Hootin for example.

Perfect because in the whole scheme of things what's another $25 tacked on to $250 or so already?

i disagree 100%

if there was no media, goverments would be even more corrupt, less accountable then they are now and the public would be clueless to the events of the world.

the media has a negative side, but its benefits far outweigh its negatives.

exactly, and what the fuck you need 5 guns for anyway? if you want more guns you gotta pay a fee. if $25 is to much for you then maybe you shouldnt be spending all your money on guns.

Governments will be corrupt with or without media there's no doubt about that. I agree they are less corrupt with media, but that's not what I was getting at.

I'm talking about everyday issues such as steroids, guns, race issues, stuff like that. The media loves to paint a picture that they feel is the right way to portray it. Then you get people involved like Jessie Jackson who use it to their advantage and get everyone going against each other. Putting the blame on the wrong people and not seeing all sides. I feel the media negatives outweigh the positives.

i agree with local news bs about natasha with 18 kids on welfare.

world media and world news is indispensable though.

No doubt about it. Maybe we just need to get rid of the local shit. and Fox News :)

Did anyone watch Bowling for Columbine? I hate Michael Moore, but I watched like 10 minutes of this movie. I caught the segment on comparing gun deaths between America and Canada. He started by asking people in Canada who owned a gun. EVERYONE owned at least one, and usually multiple guns. Yet the gun related deaths in Canada were less than 200 annually while the gun deaths in America are over 11,000 annually.

Guns should be harder to get, but if you make it too hard, people will get them illegally. (Think about it, is marijuana hard to get?) There is some disconnect between America and the rest of the world that makes us act the way we do. I don't think gun control would change much of anything.
