[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but gun control won’t fix anything. Guns aren’t the problem, people and mental illness are the problem.

[b]I’m from Chicago where Illinois has some of the most strict gun laws. We are pretty high in the ranks for gun violence. [/b]

Banning rifles won’t do anything when most gun violence and shootings are done by a pistol.

Criminals will always find a way to get guns, regardless if it’s legal. Look at all the felons committing mass shootings ( a mass shooting is 3 or more people shot) with illegal guns.

What we need to do is look into social media ties and mental illness. Why is it that gun ownership was prevalent before 2010 and we didn’t hear of any mass shootings as a normal occurrence. Social media has been on a drain on our society for years. All these mentally ill kids trying to become famous.

We can guns and we will took into the next London. They are having a huge epidemic of knifing deaths and attacks.

While we are at it, let’s ban cars too. They kill way more people and have been used by certain extremists to mow people down in mass events.

Taking the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government is not the answer. The answer is properly treating the mentally ill and doing away with social media.

And most of the guns used in crimes were purchased in the neighboring states with more relaxed gun laws. People tend to leave that part out when they use Chicago as an example of how gun laws don't work. How many are coming from Indiana???[/quote]

That's fiction democrats have dreamed up to rationalize bad behavior. No, the shootings in inner-cities are mostly gang, drug and turf related.  Many are repeat offenders.  Regardless of what you think, guns don't shoot by themselves.[/quote]

+1.

The biggest issue is democrats talk about guns but are so misinformed on every point that they aren’t taken seriously. Most democrats, as evidence on here, can’t even tell you the distinction between weapons. How can you take that person seriously when they are so misinformed and frankly stupid when it comes to any gun knowledge? You can’t. [/quote]

You don't need to know the distinction between guns to suggest common sense gun laws. It seems like the gun nuts love to use this to deflect from the actual issue. Fine. You win. You're smarter than all of us about the different kinds of guns. Now that we have that out of the way, please explain why we should have red flag laws, safe storage laws, etc. [/quote]

We don’t need storage laws. I’m all for stronger background checks and red flag laws. I’m not for seizing guns.[/quote]
