New Gun laws for US ?

Bruv · 10-16-2009, 12:14 PM

I have just learned they are trying to bring in stringent new gun laws in the US of A.

Find out about it here.

Does anybody know about this ?

You'd agree, presumably, with the statement that "gun violence in the United States is associated with the majority of homicides, over half the suicides, and two-thirds of non-fatal violent injuries"?

I am amazed that such a law is being proposed.

I know what I believe about UK gun law, but would not attempt to comment on the US gun laws.

It's a proposed national licensing law, it doesn't appear to me to attempt to restrict ownership or possession among law-abiding citizens or to limit the power or capability of a licensed weapon.

They need a full ban on handguns. Rifles are needed if you dont want to be had for dinner by your local friendly bear/alligator/lion/puma/wolf/etc.

As for gun laws...doesnt stop murder by knife/garrot/cop/etc...as shown quite nicely here in good 'ol UK.
Frankly I would rather be shot than knifed to death.

Gotta agree, I'd pick being shot too. I was stabbed once and shot two different times, back in my bad old days. And if I had to defend myself I'd rather do it with a handgun. The older I get the less adept at knife fighting I am, it seems. I love a good blade but as a tool, not a weapon.

Hoppy, your preferences are noted.

Ouch.

Still got all your limbs etc?

I fell off my bicycle a few times. We lead comparatively quiet lives over here!

Every time the lieing liberal left gains power, they push for gun control. They are used to killing helpless babies. They want us all helpless so they can more easily control us.
