Default Nutter is at it again.

When are people going to learn that bans do not work?

The assassination of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski is reigniting a variety of political efforts to ban semiautomatic assault weapons, including the SKS rifle used in the killing.
It is tragic, it truly is. But a ban will do nothing. The person that committed the crime could not legally own a firearm in the first place, let alone an SKS. SO what would a ban do?

Just because some idiot messes up, doesn't mean you make a sweeping ban for the honest, civil and peaceful owners of those guns.

If we instituted a ban on guns in the country, then the only people who had them would be criminals by definition.

Ok, so some of us get it. Why can't politicians?

Yeah I know that they use this as a tool to get votes. But some of them like Nutter honestly believe it helps.

How can we elect idiots of this magnitude?

Because, unfortunately, some people are idiots of an equal magnitude.

It wouldn't matter if firearms were banned, people will still find a way to access them.
After the Port Arthur massacre, Australia had a gun 'buy back' scheme, and no one, except those who were licensed, and farmers, were allowed to own a firearm. But yet, not a day goes by when we don't hear about someone being shot. This just proves that banning doesn't do a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing. When there's will, there's a way, and people will always manage to get their hands on something which has been prohibited.

The murder rate is lower in your fair land, than ours., and the firearm-related death rate is three times lower than ours.

You also have a few million more people in your country than we do here.

We have more than 10 times your population.



Note the term "rate."

A rate is a special kind of ratio, indicating a relationship between two measurements with different units, such as miles to gallons or cents to pounds.

I was going to say ten times more, but I wasn't sure just how many people America has...now I know. You have a lot.
