    Unless you possess actual evidence to show that the vast majority of all firearm-related crimes committed in the united states are done by those who can legally own firearms, rather than those who are legally prohibited from having access to firearms, you have no basis from which to argue that more paperwork would actually amount to anything.

    Beyond such, there is no evidence to demonstrate that a person being required to comply with paperwork requirements, is less likely to become a murderer than someone who does not comply with such paperwork requirements. Registering a firearm does not make it less likely to be used in the commission of a crime. It is nothing more than a nonsensical belief the creates a false sense of security.

    And where is the evidence to show that those who wish to own firearms legally, being required to fill out forms, would decrease the illegal use of firearms by those who cannot legally possess them, and acquire them through illegal sources?

    You people need to look at the FACTS instead of listening to the fearmongering! If you were interested in educating yourself, you would have already looked at the REAL facts.

    What's your obsession with Custer and William Bonney? I didn't know Al Capone was worshiped here. But here's an answer to your question. We're obsessed by other countries so much that we don't want anyone to bend over and take it like your did in WW2 by the Germans.

    To return to the point of this thread.....the overwhelming paranoia of the pro gun movement in the US is what prevents us from having reasonable gun control like Canada. It is this same paranoia that leads us into pointless wars like Iraq in my opinion. But that is for another thread

    It's a multi-node problem. Should we test it with some different demographics to line up with Canada, Australia and Japan, too?

    But they're not going much further and besides my side hold the majority of governors in the country. The blue states will just get ridiculous. Numbers are on my side. LOL. And so with the SCOTUS. LOL

    Nicely said. Yes, I think you are right. The paranoia that is being fed to the population has them scurrying for guns, guns, and more guns. And yeah, it's the same paranoia that makes them eager to illegally invade other nations that have been wrongfully slandered as nations of "clear and present danger", justifying themselves by claiming the UN is too mamsy pamsy to get anything done 'by force'. That paranoia makes them lose their senses and ignore the fact that the UN was created so that 'force' could be replaced by 'diplomacy'. The government is playing its population like a Stradivarius.

    Demonstrate this paranoia that you refer to. Pray tell what are you talking about? Simply claiming that the people of the united states are paranoid is not good enough, you must actually prove such to be the case.

    Pray tell what has the diplomacy accomplished in recent years?

    You are aware of the fact that the united nations has been involved in trading food and other goods in exchange for sex, correct?

    The US is run by fear and paranoia. They are major industries here

    The BM is the worst of them. its fear of honest people being armed-a fear that tends to be harbored by criminals, despots and others who might engage in activity that would cause an honest man to shoot them

    Yes, the list of States going Constitutional carry is growing... NH recently and more likely to follow...

    https://www.conservativereview.com/...nal-carry-its-time-to-take-this-show-national

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...guns-without-a-permit/?utm_term=.5566a7e8be6b

    More will follow...

    So, I would expect an increase in Gun Rights friendly legislation, not in gun control measures with but a handfull of exceptions.

    Some like Virginia and Ohio and a few others issue for cww but allow open carry for residents without permits.

    If that were actually the case, you'd not seek restrictions on the rights of the law abiding.

    Unsupportable nonsense.

    More unsupportable nonsense.

    You and I both know you have no way to soundly show this to be true.

    Of course not.
