Firearms debate (formerly Symantec Firewall blocks freedom)
slave:
Another reason not to use Symantec's products. Fucking censorware.
Whatever your opinions on gun control are, you have to admit this is pretty low.

What's the use of firearms? I have lived my whole life in Canada without firearms. You can't do squat with a firearm if the thug pulls it out first (which will happen in most situations), and you'd probably get sued, anyway.

Trap shooting, skeet shooting, very valid and entertaining sports. Hunting can be argued but I believe if you don't waste what you kill then there shouldn't be a problem (if your licensed properly and all that crap).
As far as the other guy pulling it out first...
would you pull out a gun and try to rob a bank, if you know that the 40 people in there could have guns too?

Guns do kill. ;)

You don't need to bear them in public for skeet shooting.

Bowling for Columbine, anyone?
By the way, you can get a license in Canada as well, in case I mislead you. It's just more strictly regulated.

So you think that money (banks) is more important than human lives (criminality)? Shows how crazy capitalism is in the States.
Also, you're not seriously telling me there are less bank robberies in the USA than in Canada, where firearms are more restricted?
Stryker:
You asked what the use of firearms is. Nothing about having one in public.
What does columbine have anything to do with this? They weren't hunting, and humans are not legal game.

I said that? I think if we were all allowed to carry guns until we proved we can't handle it, there would be less roberies. If someone wants to get a firearm and use it against people, there is nothing you can do to stop them. All you can do is make it a little more difficult. And because it's difficult, a criminal can feel secure in knowing that nobody else around him has a firearm and can defend themselves.
and you didn't answer my question. If we could all have firearms carried with us, would you rob a bank? Would you feel more comfortable knowing that they probably don't have a gun - because it's a lot more difficult for them to get?

I never said that. Are you telling me that because canada MAY (i've seen no proof) have less bank roberies, that the united states shouldn't worry about decreasing them?

Ok, that's great. Hope I never meet you.

really? A gun can unlock itself from storage, can unlock the ammo, can load itself, walk to a target, disengage the safety, and pull the trigger? Nearly every accident involving firearms can be prevented. I suggest taking a hunter's safety course... wether or not you plan to hunt, take the class it'll do you some good.
