Gun control does not stop killings. Where does that extremist stupid view come from? Only a total moron believes that. I support gun control and no way I believe that crap.
Less people would get killed but no way does gun control prevent killings. That's simply absurd
People still get killed in Japan, Australia and the UK. With gun control, less get killed


I agree with the "extreme stupid view" comment but after every killing we have the morons who believe it with signs that say "gun control - stop the killing". The politicians lead their speach with "stop the killing". Even our own moderator BBB has many posts with "stop the killing". Not sure I have ever heard anybody advocate to "reduce the killing'.

If you delve into the statistics enough they don't even show that gun control will reduce the killings. What they do show is that the US is a much more violent country than most.

I agree with "stop the killing" More gun control, less people getting killed. All for that, stop the killing :-)

With the gun laws the way they
are, more people can prevent
crime with the guns they carry.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Mexico has strict gun laws and they are having a banner year in gun related killings:

USA is both a warrior and violent country. Was both even when just the Indians were here, last thing you wanted was to lose a tribal war.

Nothing will change this. It is DNA.

Would be interested in seeing your proof of that claim.
