the NRA advocating that gun ownership should be mandatory

DerpHole said:
I wouldn't care if gun ownership was mandatory... as long as someone else pays for my gun that is.

Forcing people to shell out cash is not cool.

mattbenz99 said:
you'd still technically be paying for it through your tax dollars

DerpHole said:


Taxes would only be boosted for a short time I'd assume, once everyone has a gun it could go down again.

mattbenz99 said:
but still that would be billions of dollars wasted which could of been used for oh i dont know treating all the gun shot wounds that would be the direct cause of this

DerpHole said:


It'll never happen anyway so it doesn't matter.

Billy said:
Our founding fathers believed that we did need guns. That's why they codified our access to guns into the constitution. But idea of a gun policy that does justice to their intention sounds ridiculous. What does that say about us?

Sinyan said:

Did this guy just seriously talk about integrating gun training into school curriculum? Real fucking smart.

DerpHole said:


As long as the environment is highly controlled and supervised I don't see a problem with it. Would result in less deaths as a result of kids stumbling upon guns in their houses closets and not respecting the guns power.

Could you imagine visiting a gunrange on a field trip and getting to fire something? Best fucking field trip ever lol.

why do people care what this right wing idiot sayd but then again the us love it right wingers right

mattbenz99 said:
because he is representing the NRA (national rifle association) and they are a major lobbying power in america.

Sinyan said:
It sounds like the best fucking field trip at first. But that's only because kids are immature and they think "coooooooooooooooooooooooooooool guuuuns!!!" The next thing you know, they'll be playing cowboys or cops and robbers and that will be the end of the next generation.

Sinyan said:
Besides, most sane human beings already understand the power of guns and most gun homicides do not result from the reason of "not knowing how to properly use it." We don't need to teach kids on how to shoot a gun, just need to teach to them that it is a weapon.

FGAU1912 said:

i know what the NRA is imo it sould be called a terrorist organization but that just this one liberal who says that

DerpHole said:
People would be a lot more hesitant to whip out their guns and go on sprees if they knew all of their potential victims held a piece as well.

mattbenz99 said:
most people who go on shooting sprees dont care about their own life.

As a gun rights advocate, I found the video pretty stupid.

(I'm pretty pissed about bummer signing an executive order banning Russian Kalashnikov rifle imports, but I already got the ones I wanted)

Anyways, the most I would support is some sort of gun safety/competency education is public schools. Just something to comprehend and understand something that is so pervasive in US culture.



Then why do all the mass shootings happen in "Gun Free" zones?

NTAD said:

Iknorite?

I'm still pro-gun, but the idea of mandatory ownership is stupid.

And Matt, you need to find a better use for your time rather than trying to take Kyuu's place.

DerpHole said:


A person who's determined enough to go on a shooting spree will obtain a gun with or without a mandate.

Having everyone with a gun would be troubling though because a lot of people can be mentally unstable, even if only just for a few moments due to life changing events, like walking in on your lover with a cheater, or a stock market crash where you lose everything. That's all it takes to end someones life with a gun. I know a lot of people that I wouldn't trust with a gun.

People are just too damn crazy lol.

The only real pro to everyone having a gun would be to level the playing field and preventing the all out massacres that the media loves. It falls on you to defend yourself in the end I guess.

FGAU1912 said:
i fear im too liberal to talk here mal is quite full of right wing leaning people and there pro gun propaganda irks me so much il say somthing that would get mre banned

mattbenz99 said:
yes because 3 people all having a shootout with each other is so much better and will cause less damage than 1 person with a gun.

the problem with guns in this situation is that no one will be able to tell who the original shooter is or if it was a group of shooters. so everyone will just shoot each other.

DerpHole said:


If anything I'd say most of mal hates guns. I don't really lean one way or another, I just like conjecturing about it lol.

FGAU1912 said:


every gun toopic that comes up here show hoe deeply deeeepppllllly red mal is im so far of to the left im happy i dont live in the us cause when have you guys ever voted in a True die in the wool progressive Japan has not eiher but at lest we have socialist and workers parties with seats in the diet

un like the US id say only person who iv seen who come close to ganing anything is Nader Obama is not a real progressive is he was he owld not have done the shot that hes done

DerpHole said:
lol ok. Part of the curriculum (I assume, I hope) would be to tell them that it isn't a toy.

A mandate that has any actual chance of passing would also have an age limit of sorts, that says that the mandate doesn't apply to those under 21 years of age, so that elementary school students aren't packing heat rofl.

Sinyan said:
if a single gunman was the only one possessing a gun, he would feel in control and would feel less inclined to shoot simply because it is unnecessary.

Ever heard of a school shooter not killing a class of students because they weren't armed?

DerpHole said:


Most campuses don't allow their students to carry weapons = easier targets.

It's one of the reasons shootings happen so often at schools.

mattbenz99 said:
no shootings happen in schools because there are so many people there. it has nothing to do with how armed they are

Kibura_Iburasa said:


Annnnd because schools make easy targets, a lot less likely to contain anyone who could stand up to the shooter or stop them. Children and students are vulnerable, you ever heard of a shooter going into a gun owner association meeting any trying to shoot it up?

Sinyan said:
It says that we are evolving, you twat.

Did this guy just seriously talk about integrating gun training into school curriculum? Real fucking smart.

mattbenz99 said:
name me one mass shooter than went into a school and survived afterwards. gun free zones dont keep mass shooters alive.

mattbenz99 said:

Kibura_Iburasa said:


Im not sure you know what you're talking about. A mass shooter isn't looking to survive I mean seriously you think they do this for a reason with an escape plan? most shooters top themselves afterward. They target masses of people to cause an impact so they will be remembered not for any cause they need to live through. Its a one way mission for most of them, notice I say most I cannot speak for every mass shooting.

Of course, the video is just one person's opinion

JustALEX said:
OP, stop trying to take mah freedoms away!

MAL is obviously filled with communist loving hippies!

Guns and lolis for all!!!

Iri said:
Of course, the video is just one person's opinion, but any conservative who would agree with it is being intellectually dishonest.

JustALEX said:

>Implying conservatives are intellectually honest to begin with!

StopDropAndBowl said:

Which is why they always go to places where people will be heavily armed... right?

It wasn't the Sandy Hook gun show that got hit...

Kibura_Iburasa said:


Ha what? there's a reason gun killers go on a quick spree shooting anyone they can find without any real rhyme or reasoning before topping themselves. Its because they are trying to get as many victims as possible before been taken down, what the hell made you think that these gun men don't shoot people because they are not armed? the gun men are never in control, they are panicked and single minded.

Ever heard of a school shooter not killing a class of students because they weren't armed?
