The Pulse Nightclub Shooting, the Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooting, and now the Las Vegas Shooting. When will America wake up and ban guns?

Question

The Pulse Nightclub Shooting, the Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooting, and now the Las Vegas Shooting. When will America wake up and ban guns?

Answer 1

You do know that the guns in the Las Vegas shooting were all ILLEGAL guns? that right there is proof why a ban won't work, cause the guns they did ban were STILL used.

Answer 2

Hopefully never. All that will do is make sure that only the bad guys have guns. People have been killing each other long before guns were around. Rocks, knives, swords, bare hands, whatever else will suffice if someone truly wants to kill. The problem is the human heart, not that which the heart uses to express its desires.

Answer 3

never they dumb asf

Answer 4

An outright ban is not required, nor is it constitutional. We do need background checks and safety courses before allowing purchase of any weapon, and an outright ban on military grade ordinance of all kinds, including automatic or convertible weapons. The public should not be more armed than the police.

Answer 5

40,000 people died in car accidents last year in America. When will America wake up and ban cars?

Answer 6

It is called the second amendment stupid. Right under the amendment that protects your Muslims whom are doing much of these things. Plus these have all been carried out by leftards and guns kill people everyday in these big cities like Chicago which has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, but I know you libtards only care about the mostly law abiding rednecks in the red states.

Answer 7

We don't need to ban guns entirely.

I support the 2nd amendment.

What we should do is:

Answer 8

So when we ban guns do you think the lawless people will care about those laws and then when they start shouting the people who obey the laws will be as sitting ducks! Do you not think we should allow guns for law abiding people to be able to defend themselves?

Answer 9

When? I am going to guess 2061. Is that close?

Answer 10

Another idiot has opened it's mouth! Guns have never killed one single person in history the person behind the trigger kills people.

Answer 11

Strong talk of banning guns is a big part of the reason that reasonable gun control issues won't happen.

Answer 12

Never. Just because some psychopaths decide to commit an act of terror, doesn't mean everyone loses their rights as a result. I'm so glad Trump won and Hillary lost. If she would've won, our borders would be wide open right now, refugees would be flooding in, and our second amendment would be at risk. It would be a recipe for disaster.

Answer 13

Guns will be banned when America stops being a super competitive,super- materialistic, "rugged individualism" type of culture which basically causes the average American to see everybody around him as a potential threat. to his MATERIAL well-being and therefore trust no one. .But since the whole history of our country was founded upon the aforementioned mindset (it's how the West was "won" (stolen?) etc...) there's little reason to believe guns will EVER be banned in the good ole USA. Guns are as American as apple pie, genocide of indigenous peoples to take away their land, and so forth. .

Answer 14

Well it's quite simple first of all any form of gun control is illegal that's our right as human beings to protect our selves, now let's say we did ban guns then if a bad guy comes into your home you do what call the police? Well what do you think they have with them GUNS. So in one way or the other a gun is brought into the picture, and did you ever think that all these countries that hate us so much why they don't attack us its because we have the most advanced military and there are 314 million Americans and there are 236 million guns that's why even if they out number us they know to well we will fight back so they don't even try , Did ;you know that a lot of these school shootings are tied togethert like the aurora colorado shooting in the theater where the batman movie was playing and Sandy Hook school were relateted and that is because the fathers of both gunmen werre with the CIA and both were involved with a case where trillions of dollars were stolen they were both to testify in a world bank case you see if you knew all the factts surrounding the incidents you would see a clear picture how ever main stream media never tells ;yuou that because the people in charge control the media and they tell you only what they want you to know sorry my typing sucks and I miss spell words, but now you understand its not the guns that are wrong its the people in charge but one day you will see that yourself

Answer 15

Yeah, just like we banned drugs, and as we all know nobody take drugs anymore...

Answer 16

40,000 people died in car accidents last year in America

Answer 17

More people died from drunk driving, so how about lets ban cars and alcohol.

Answer 18

Well 1. The second amendment won't stop being wrongly interpreted. 2. That'll cause an even bigger problem. A second and more worse prohibition era failure. 3.There's a possibility we would drop from being the strongest country because we would lose more of our people to the enemy side (NOT SIMPLY TO ISIS) who would pay them in guns and more for their allegiance.



I don't believe guns should be banned completely, even if it means just from "ordinary" citizens. I support the idea of gun control in the sense of a deeper background and mental evaluation of the person purchasing the weapon for everyone's safety, but even with that it won't do much help since there's the chance that they will obtain it from someone they know or some online illegal market. Such as the disgusting Las Vegas shooter who didn't fit your usual mass shooter description and background rather from being the stereotypical white male.



And when I said "for everyone's safety" I know there's going to be those people with the counter "that's why the gun ban and gun control should not be passed and liberals are wasting their damn time trying to take our precious babies away." and "These damn Democrats. Guns don't kill, people do."-- and to them I say, Yes because people have the power to magically shoot bullets made for guns and end innocent lives, Bigfoot is my husband, the Moth Man is my brother and the Chupacabra is an illegal alien...or is it?

Answer 19

because we have a Constitution and a recognized way to change that constitution and not enough people agree with you to make the kind of change you are arguing for above.



One reason for that is that there are a large number of people who are more afraid of the government banning guns than they are of the crazy shooters. History would indicate that the government is indeed more to be feared. therefore we live with the shootings just like we live with automobile deaths.

Answer 20

Gun crime has been declining in the U.S. for the last 30 years, even as gun ownership skyrockets.

Answer 21

NOT JUST AMERICA

Answer 22

Look I'm sorry the Las Vegas shooting happened and all those others too. It's a terrible terrible thibg. But gun are not the single greatest source of loss of human life. 1.3 million people die yearly from car accidents. 380 and people die from salmonilla poisoning, a million a year getsick from it. 4,000 drown yearly. And tats just America, we should certainly regulate guns better. But that will stop people from dying. There are a lot of things that need to be regulated better some of them more pressing than guns. It makes me mad that those things age not top priority.

Answer 23

It won't work for two basic reasons.



The 2nd amendment has been interpreted by the courts to mean that virtually anyone can own a gun and carry it almost anywhere.



Even if we could completely ban guns, people won't give them up - and we have a very violent society.

Answer 24

I agree! The need for gun control is needed more than ever! May the Lord God bless the ones who have been effected by these terrible tragedies!

Answer 25

Long after you are dead, moron

Answer 26

Not going to happen without starting another civil war, too many real Americans value their rights to bear arms.

"Before any government can control its citizens, they must first disarm them"

Tally just how many people have instigated mass shootings since 1986, that comes to a dozen people.

No way a whole country is going to change any constitution or American freedom for so few.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have them.

300 million legal guns and 200 million Americans legally own them. Trust me, if guns were the problem, you would know it.

Answer 27

Its not guns that kill it's the person. Any criminal will be able to get a hold of any weapon even if the weapons are banned. They won't care about laws or fines. Good civilians will be left unarmed. Defenseless. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU BAN WEAPONS. This stuff this massacres will keep happening.There are many ways they will get ahold of firearms. Through smuggling. Drug Cartels always smuggle weapons. The deep web. Etc etc. Why ignore the real problem? It's not the guns. It's the person that chooses to kill people. You don't get it do you? To you it's always guns. It's never the person that commits the crimes. IT always has to be the guns.

Answer 28

Maybe when you come up with a plan to disarm the criminal element which, by definition, doesn't obey the law. I'm waiting to hear your plan, Sparky.

Answer 29

Ban guns for the law abiding people to protect themselves? The criminals and their illegal guns they already have will be ecstatic.

Answer 30

We don't need to ban guns entirely.

I support the 2nd amendment.

What we should do is:

- Mandate universal background checks

- Mandate universal psychological checks

- Ban private sales of weapons

- Require people to be registered to purchase a gun

- Background checks at gun shows

- Ban automatic weapons



Laws like this need to be passed. But good citizens should still have their rights! No one should be afraid of these laws if they're a good citizen because average people can still have their rights.

Answer 31

Ban guns and criminals switch to: knives, machettes, pipe bombs, pressure cooker bombs, truck bombs, poison gas like Sarin. The list goes on and on. Any one with some internet access can figure out how to kill people besides using guns.

Answer 32

Yes, let's ban guns. But let's start with police and the military. Then we can worry about banning them among the civilian population.

Answer 33

Banning guns would do nothing and a ban would never happen anyway as the required house votes and state votes to pass an amendment reapealing the second just arent there. And mass shootings are actually very rare and have had no rise or fall pattern in the past 30+ years as more people die annually from lightning strikes and parasites and those are rare too.

Answer 34

You think banning guns are gonna stop people from harming others ? Lol it’s not the guns fault , it’s crazy people . This world is only gonna get worse .

Answer 35

Banning guns will not stop this, but banning immigrants will.

Answer 36

i don't really know what is wrong with people these days i am not watching the news anymore too much chaos on there

Answer 37

Americans are stupid and will never wake up. And see how they're trying to make him sound like he's mentally ill and not call him by what he is.. a terrorist. The media would've gone crazy if it were a Muslim. Disgusting

Answer 38

Why don't we just ban murder instead.

Answer 39

because the US values the right to carry than the lives of people. disgusting.

Answer 40

Of course not! Americans are getting crazier, not more sane, dumber, not more intelligent!

Answer 41

etiher way there could be home made gernades which makes it worst

Answer 42

-- I pray to God that guns are never banned but that is only my opinion.

-- Also I find it funny this is being called a massaacre and not an act of terrorism,probably because a Muslim was not responsible.If somewhere someone called an act of terrorism then prove me wrong with evidence and I will cirrect this statement.



Salamu Alaikum to all

Answer 43

I think the real question is, how quickly is America going to realize that we need gun control. I personally believe that America is one of the only countries that has a major problem with gun violence because guns are so easy to obtain that anyone can get one. Every other day we see news stories of 3 year olds shooting their siblings because mom/dad didn’t lock their gun away properly. Teenagers, 17-19 years old, being arrested for manslaughter because they somehow got their hands on a gun, playing with it like a toy until it accidentally goes off or wanted to show their friends how tough they are. Middle-aged men/women who seem to just ‘snap’ because their lover left them, their job fired them or they couldn’t handle their depression anymore. We need to do something about THAT instead of banning guns all together, we need to make guns less readily available to children and maniacs. A gun was used in this crime, but we can’t arrest a glock, we need to hold the person responsible.

Answer 44

Oh shut up, i can gurantee all these people would've got guns illegally as well if they wanted them

Answer 45

When will people wake up and realize these attacks are being orchestrated by the DNC to advance their agenda? I mean less than 24 hours later, Hillary is tweeted about gun legislation. Really? They chose this music festival and that white guy because 1.he has no family and 2.they wanted to hit the "resistance" where it would hurt. Hence the country music festival.

Answer 46

YEP. That's what all these fake shootings with shakey blurry one lone camera footage taken with a potato, no shots of the shooter in action and fake actors badly acting out non emotional scripted 1 hour long interviews like the shooters "brother" are really all about.

Answer 47

Probably never.

Answer 48

Should we also ban cars and pressure cookers? Seems that people who want to kill other people do just fine when they want to.



Imagine what could be done with enough CO2 and a concert with chain-locked doors and shuttered ventilation systems.

Answer 49

without a human behind the trigger a gun is an tool of metal and wood, has no mind of its own, has no control of its own only that of the idiot behind it

banning guns is not the problem, limiting who can have them is

Answer 50

never when the national rifle association have the power to stop any gun control and believe these shootings are a price worth paying for the right to bear arms.

without a gun a wacko cannot kill unless they use some other way to kill.

Answer 51

We need to ban niggurs

Answer 52

I am for reasonable measures such as are proposed but I am also sympathetic to the argument that gun controllers aim to eliminate the 2nd Amendment. For instance, the embarrassing posture of W. Clinton, Gore and others that sport hunting is the issue. Gun control aims--quite impotently-- at crime, but the unintended consequence is an unarmed population. U could live to see your armed right-wing adversary save the day. (Unless of course, you mean to be in on the power.)

Answer 53

Guns are not the problem, mentally ill people who can't get treated are.

Answer 54

Probably soon.

Answer 55

Hopefully never, and that is because it will only get worse. And that is why they actually help "set up" (discreetly allow, and make more leeway for such) all these gun massacres. They could have also stopped the world trade center attacks but they instead allowed over 3500 people to get buried alive. And after guns are banned, now would you want to ban trucks, cars and airplanes? And then knives and ball bats??? Come on now! Please, just go home.

Answer 56

probably never

Answer 57

Guns are not the problem. Problems start when Senators start waving guns around,in public

Answer 58

Ban Islam, isis has already claimed responsibility for the Mandalay Bay shooting. Also, gun rights are an amendment, by banning it we would be paving the away to ban all other amendments.

Answer 59

That would leave only the government and criminals with guns. Your self defense would be gone and you would be at the mercy of a corrupt government - don't let them try and play you. All elite politicians will be pushing to take guns away from the average citizen, while exempting themselves and their body guards. They want total control over the people, and this is the perfect way to get it.

Answer 60

I have a suggestion as lot of Americans think that there should be Guards in Schools, Malls, Buses etc. BUT how to pay for it... Taxes the Guns. All Gun owners will have to pay taxes for each gun. $1,000 for a handgun $2,000 for a Shotgun etc. Each Gun would have to be test fired and recorded and laser marked to show that the tax had been paid. Anyone seeking to avoid the tax, can be jailed for 5 years per gun. so 3 guns = 15 years inside.

Answer 61

Never, and you must not understand the constitution or traditional Americans. Now I don't own a gun, probably never will but the constitution is paramount. So in this case it would have been better for him to fly his plane into the crowd full of aviation fuel? That would have been an alternative for him. We live in a free country, that has risks. How about we say ban drinking, cars, and many other things that kill people every day?

Answer 62

Banning guns is a bad idea! Do you really think people will just give up there guns? No they'll just be selling them on the black market, most shootings are done by people that bought the guns illegally. Guns are not the problem, people will low value for human life are!

Answer 63

no way

Answer 64

I defy you to take any loaded weapon. Hand gun or rifle. Lay it on a table.

Step back from it. Sit down in a chair. And hold your breathe until said

weapon gets up and starts firing. The Gun is a tool. Such as a hammer

or nail. It is the person who is holding it. That causes the issues negative

with it. Not the tool.

Answer 65

Better happen soon

Answer 66

Dot, it is not the guns - never has been. It is the wackos. I personally think these murders should be pilloried in the public square and left there until they rot. I know it won't happen, but it sure would have a great advertising effect when, right now, these killers either kill themselves or get three hots and a cot. And no lingering around in jail for a couple of years until trial. Police catch you with guns, gunpowder on you, and it's obvious, you can wait for your trial in the pillory. Maybe you make it, maybe you don't. It's not the guns.

Answer 67

350 million people. 500 million guns.....no ban is gona solve this

Answer 68

Gun attacks happen everywhere, even in paces with incredibly strict gun control. Keep that in mind.

Answer 69

Agreed. Imagine if Paddock had only had a knife like anywhere else in the civilized world.

Answer 70

hey, we need guns because people have guns!

Answer 71

The problem is people that get off on murder. But you do not care about that.

Answer 72

George Washington is quoted as saying; 'An armed society is a polite society".

Answer 73

Violence and massacres are nothing new to Americans.They had the K.K.K. and they massacred the Indians.

They massacred innocents in the Philipines and even more in Vietnam through the American army.

You sow the wind and you will reap the whirlwind.

Answer 74

Murrah bombing and 9-11-2001

Answer 75

Yes let's ban guns...because banning alcohol worked so great!

Answer 76

Hum... drugs have been banned for years and look at how that's been working out

Answer 77

You simply CAN NOT effectively ILLEGALIZE GUNS; it's realistically imppossible.



Even if such legislation would even pass and be on lawbooks---do you seriously believe murderous violent criminal killers will heed and obey such gun ban law(s)???



Going further into hard reality: You CAN NOT BAN ALL GUN / RIFLE / AMMO MANUFACTURING; it's too corporate a business ( way too much $$$ put into the corporation ).



YOU CAN however, push / petition hard for TOUGHER CRIMINAL PENALTIES for killers who use guns on people; do away with the legal technical dances of varying degrees of "manslaughter".

Answer 78

That would solve nothing. Probably make it worse.

Answer 79

PS4 sucks

Answer 80

Gund don't need to be banned. They just need to be regulated. There needs to be extensive background checks when purchasing a gun so people with criminal records, or people with serious psychological issues, and minors are unable to get guns. And there should be a better regulation of how the guns are to be stored and kept if there are children in the home.

Answer 81

If we ban them, the only people who have them will be the killers/criminals.

Answer 82

Have you talked to the criminals to see if they agree to follow this law?

Answer 83

do you not think even if we make guns illegal people wont find ways to make and get them? bombs are illegal but they're still used to kill people

Answer 84

Banning guns won't work. Take a guess at how many of the guns used in those shooting were obtained legally by the shooters. The answer is none. All were either stolen by the shooters, or purchased on the black market. Every area in the US that has banned guns has seen a skyrocket in crime, both gun and non-gun related because the only people the laws affect are the ones who register their weapons. Shop and home owners who keep one to stop robbery can't anymore, and the thieves will realize that. Do you really think the Crips and Bloods will turn over their guns if a law gets passed? No. No they will not.



And no, it didn't work in England. London is basically European LA without the movie stars. Switzerland has a MUCH lower crime rate and ENCOURAGES gun ownership.

Answer 85

Idiot

Answer 86

Maybe society will be blamed. This angry selfish greedy jew run violent society on drugs

Answer 87

Guns aren't the root of the problem. America has always had guns, and plenty of them. The root of the problem is a major lack of morality in the US. More people knew that it's wrong to solve their problems by murdering others ("You shall not murder" is the 6th of the 10 Commandments, found in Exodus 20:13). Since the US has pretty much put God and His commandments out of the picture, murders and other crimes have increased.

Answer 88

No ban offended people who whine about having their belongings checked

Answer 89

It will never happen.

Sadly, the real problem is dealing with mental illness, which the US has not done, and cannot do in the current environment.

Answer 90

AMERICA WILL BAN GUNS ONLY WHEN ITS TIRED OF MASS MURDERS!

Answer 91

...when crows turn white and walk home.

Answer 92

After the government rounds up all the gun owners like myself puts us in gas Chambers

Answer 93

Then only the criminals will have guns

Answer 94

It's really bad

Answer 95

Suicide by alcohol or or death in a traffic accident is not illegal, hanging out of a window with a military grade weapon and spraying a music venue with several hundred rounds is.



Banning guns is is a stupid idea. Not banning military grade weapons in the home is a foolish idea.



Because of those fools nut jobs will always get their hands on these weapons and do it again, and that will happen very, very soon.

Answer 96

Let us first remember this is a problem in the USA and not the entire American continent. The USA will not do what you propose. The NRA and gun lobby are too powerful. The current POTUS supports the gun lobby although this has only been the case since he considered going for the Republican nomination for the presidency. He was less supportive of the gun lobby before then.



Many will make the excuse that the gun is not the problem. Technically that is correct. A gun does not load itself, aim and fire itself. It needs a human to employ it. The problem is the availability of guns. In the State of Nevada where this most recent tragedy happened gun control is negligible.



Although it took Paddock to load and fire those guns he simply could not have committed that atrocity here in the UK. He simply would not have had access to those weapons. He would never get permission to own them. There is absolutely no way that he could have checked into a British hotel with 10 firearms.



There needs to be controls put in place whereby no one can own a gun unless they are registered to do so. They should have to show a good reason why they need a gun. There should be checks on whether the applicant is suitable to be a gun owner. There should be checks that gun owners store there guns and ammunition safely.



I do not advocate an absolute ban on guns. I think that it should not be possible for everyone to own a gun. People are deluded if they think simply owning a gun gives them some kind of protection. If a person can demonstrate a valid reason for owning a gun there should be strict regulations about where the guns are stored. For example, if someone shoots as a hobby they should have to do this through a registered club and keep their guns there.



It should not be possible to be able to simply check into a hotel with a small armoury among your luggage. It is beyond belief that the USA bans entry to people with HIV infection as if they are going to rape US citizens and spread the virus or ban people from certain countries as if all people from a particular country are terrorists when it has citizens like Paddock armed to the teeth who can in a few short moments kills nearly 60 people and injure hundreds.

Answer 97

You can't. It's against the second amendment. Plus people are gonna find guns anyway. Then how are you going to protect yourself.

Answer 98

it will never happen unless certain things happen like humans are extinct, gun manufacturer's stop making guns

Answer 99

President is sleeping. Don't disturb him.

Answer 100

God's government is the only real solution to the problems of America.

The Bible foretold in detail the world conditions of our day, and it puts us on notice that all human governments will come to their end at the hands of God and that God's Kingdom in the hand of his Son, Jesus Christ, will rule over all mankind - Daniel 2:44; 7:13,14.

Answer 101

When they outlaw knives, hatchets, matches,bow and arrows, swords,hammers, ec. etc. Perhaps in the year 2525 IF man is still alive

Answer 102

Yeah because that's REALLY gonna help.

Answer 103

When, the government takes total control of this country. Aside: I think the group of political types getting tube time is a sad show.

Answer 104

When the majority turn into brain dead zombies..... only those .... and those who are enemies of America and Personal Freedom and Liberty would seek to turn this country into a totalitarian police state... which is what would happen if the Second Amendment were abolished...... the Right, and Ability, of The People to defend against the enemies who seek to enslave the people must be maintained....

Answer 105

I think its time to let the gun makers be sued by the victims of the attacks

Answer 106

The fastest way in the world to make something even more attractive is to ban it outright. That's what happened with Prohibition, you know. And America is still paying the price for that, almost a century after it happened. Banning guns isn't the answer. Dealing with and resolving the underlying problems which LEAD to shootings like this IS. And so far, that hasn't happened.

Answer 107

After it has been nuked by every other country.

Answer 108

so you prefer them to resort to violent bladed attacks instead? you disgusting sicko. guns arent the problem, its the perpetrators. i can leave my gun on my table for decades and it wont kill anyone on its own.

Answer 109

not happening and wouldn't do any good anyway

Answer 110

If guns kill people then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk and spoons make people fat.

Answer 111

An outright ban is not required, nor is it constitutional. We do need background checks and safety courses before allowing purchase of any weapon, and an outright ban on military grade ordinance of all kinds, including automatic or convertible weapons. The public should not be more armed than the police.

Answer 112

As far as I know, those shootings were done with already illegal weapons and criminals don't care about gun control laws. I don't know what you mean exactly by "wake up". I've been waiting for liberals to wake up for what feels like centuries.

Answer 113

Americans and their guns. Some of these answers in favour are just absurd. Fact of the sane matter is, only hunters should have guns. Lots of people die because of lots of different things but 9 times out of 10 them things have a base reason and it’s just the human whom ***** up. The only base reason for guns is to hunt. To feed your fellow humans. Not own one because your scared of your own poxy shadow.

Guns are not the problem. When I was growing up in the 1980s and 1990s, mass shootings were unheard of. Guns were just as prevent in America in the 1980s and 1990s as they are today.

Answer 115

probably never

Answer 116

lol

Answer 117

When it's criminal to own a gun, only criminals will have guns.

Answer 118

The best hope may be either a constiutinoal amendment or a supreme court ruling. Don't expect politicians who are more concerned about reelection to vote for gun control.

Answer 119

Gun don't kill people. I gave all my guns a golden opportunity to do some killing by loading them and leaving them on a table in my hallway, and do you know what...not a single one opened fire on a passer by!



I estimate that there are about 400 million handguns in private hands in the US, and about one third of that of long guns (That's 133 million). About one third of those guns are in the hands of criminals, so a ban on guns would simply mean that the law abiding citizens would be defenseless, and criminals can now use their guns as they please with no fear of encountering an armed citizen. Remember...criminals habitually break the law.



The gunman in Las Vegas was using a fully automatic weapon ...how can that be?...They have been illegal for decades??

Answer 120

Boston marathon, ban pressure cookers

911, ban airline tickets

in France they used delivery trucks, should we ban delivery trucks Hillary ??

Answer 121

Never.

Answer 122

We need guns to shoot back.

Answer 123

Same thing could be said about Europeans? Why spell colour, and spell it as COLOR!!!!

Answer 124

It won't solve any thing. There are still many ways to kill a large swath of people.



Before you start, Cherry Blossom, Australia didn't ban all their guns just autos and pump action except in rare cases. Don't be a dumbass.

Answer 125

Banning guns won't help. All that'll do is keep guns out of law abiding citizens hands. Criminals will still get their hands on them. Same as they do now.

Answer 126

This was indeed a terrible tragedy.



However, in 2016 an average of 28 people per DAY (according to CBS News) were killed by drivers who died because they themselves were drunk, or they were killed by a drunk driver.



By your logic, should alcohol be banned? I am 71 years old, and have NEVER been drunk a day in my life. This does NOT make me "better" than someone who does drink. It's just a decision I made very early in life.

Answer 127

When all those Republicans grow up.

Answer 128

It is not the GUN it is the GUN OWNER that needs banning

I just did jury duty on a case that a 16year old had 6 felonies against him (crime with a gun)

was found with a gun ..He will be out in 6 months and do it again.

Answer 129

Ban guns so that tha bad guys who get guns illegally feel safer. Nice.

Answer 130

banning guns would do nothing to help the situation that you are in the gun used in las vegas was illegal with an illegal attachment



and if you were to try to take americans guns it would start a civil war there is not question of that



there is also that many guns in circulation that it would be impossible to get them all



if you made a law banning guns the only people that would follow that law would be law abiding citizens meaning criminals would be the only ones left with guns so law abiding citizens wouldn't be able to protect themselves



it also would break the second amendment and once you break 1 amendment you can break as many as you want meaning the government could start taking away free speech and the freedom of the press



so maybe you should think about what banning guns would actually do to america before posting stupid questions like this

Answer 131

First step should be a ban on high capacity semi auto rifles.

Answer 132

So, tell us, how long have you been a communist for ? That's the first thing out of the mouths of the communists, cuz they are cowards who want to overtake America, but want all the guns confiscated so they can't get shot by the opposition !!!!

Answer 133

There's no need of semi automatic weapons for general public . It should be only for soldiers going for war . It's funny that this guy have purchased several of these weapons and there was no red flags .

Answer 134

I say we ban stupid liberals who aren't intelligent enough to realize that people that want to kill will always find a way to kill.

Answer 146

Never as the NRA is too strong of a lobby group. There was a ban on assault rifles at one time but Congress let it expire. + #45 repealed the Obama bill banning mentally ill people from getting or having their guns returned to them.

Banning guns is not the problem. Seriously. Americans do a wonderful job at CREATING Psychopaths. Out of all 196 nations on Earth, the United States has more than TWICE the number of Mass Murderers, than ALL other nations.....COMBINED! When we, as a society, STOP creating Monsters.....we will see less people behaving Monstrously. Perhaps, we should examine the Swiss society, compare it to our own, AND MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES!. The Swiss have MORE guns per person, than WE do.....and Gun Crime is virtually unheard of. Banning guns will NOT stop Mass Murderers.....EVER.

Answer 151

They will just get the guns illegally then. Here guns are strictly illegal yet you can easily get them, shootings are here almost daily.

Answer 152

Banning guns won't completely stop the gun problem because people will still own them and have them ready to use. Unless they are one by one taken from people banning guns sadly won't have that much of an impact :( I wish there was a solution to this because it is so horrible that things like this are going on in the world

Answer 153

Do you think that gun was licensed?



The shooter got that gun illegally.



Licensed gun owners are not going to go on shooting sprees. Unless they are insane and don't care to get caught.

Answer 156

Many people died from prescription pills. Will America wake up and ban pills? Plus the 2nd amendment

Answer 157

Unfortunatelly I think never.

300,000 killed in road accidents this year so far. When will the car get banned

Answer 161

I think that a law should be passed, that everyone over the age of 21 (after a philological screening), should be required to carry a firearm on them at all times.



Oh, you are thinking about the gang members getting easier access; well, don't worry about it; as, they have better access, than you do, already.

One would notice the drastic decrease of car jackings, and robberies.



Note to 'so called' gang members: So you are searching for that feeling of a 'family unit' as your personal security blanket? Well, 60%, of your, assumed, bros' n' Whos, would sell you out in a heartbeat.

I have a real good suggestion: why don't you guys stop shooting at each other, come together as Americans and, join a real family unit, and the 'baddest' and strongest gang on the planet; the US Military.

We need you now more than ever.



It is a 'rush' too jump into an M1A, go to the target range, and blow stuff up.

It is a 'rush' too steam out to the gunnery range for Naval Gunfire Support, (NGFS), practice.

It is an indescribable challenge too conduct ASW, anti submarine warfare.

and, flying, is an indescribable feeling as well.

Not only that; but, you get paid too do it.

Answer 162

Ban guns for the law abiding people to protect themselves? The criminals and their illegal guns they already have will be ecstatic.

Answer 168

this is the deadliest mass shooting in US history so far ,anyone over the age of 18 have the right to purchase gun,I think if gun--control law isn't introduced,similar incidents will continue to happen,it's time for us to make the bigger change in policy,but I think that introducing a gun control bill will face the uphill struggle ,many group support gun -control,gun lobby will block the bill at the same time,

Answer 169

Ok if you get rid of all the guns in the US. how will that stop the killing. how will you stop people from driving their cars into crowds, making bombs, stabbing people, using poison. People will always find a way. SO STFU you idiot.

Answer 170

Yeh, but you've screwed yourself from the start with your wierdass constitution.



Guns are and always have been heavily controlled in the UK. And shock-horror the murder rate by firearm is very low. Not even comparable with the US.



People say guns don't kill people, people kill people. That is true....but with open and free access to weapons-grade automatic assault weapons, there are going to be people to exploit that. And clearly that is the case.



And after mass murder after mass murder. Gun laws seem to only be relaxed...campus carry in Texas....are you kidding me?



I'm just glad I don't live in the backwards country that is the US.



'Land of the free' Yeah, murder, rob and rape freely!



One does not need a device designed to kill people to complete their lives.....why should just anyone have access to firearms!?

Answer 171

Banning the guns is not a solution at all.

Answer 175

Murder is illegal and that's still happening so

Answer 176

Why? The only way to stop a madman with a gun is with a gun! You will never, perhaps, save anyone s life with a gun, but I have, already scared bad-guys away twice. And since anyone can get a gun even after they re banned (just ask the Brits), your dream is really just another nightmare.

Answer 177

What is the need to carry a gun? Why can't we as civilians respect one another? Why can't we feel safe anywhere we go? Why do we feel the need to "protect" ourselves against one another? Sure, people can carry guns, but what are the repercussions? keep them at home to protect your family if you really need them. With mental health these days and lack of resources for these people, we can't safely go anywhere when guns are out and in the hands of any maniac who might possess one.

Banning guns isn't the answer. Banning guns won't stop the violence.

When the gun rights law was made, they where using this as a weapon, the Musket, it takes 2 or 3 shots a minute and the accuracy of it is terrible that the only efficient way that it's deadly is if a hundred soldiers fire it at the same time!!!. So they where smart enough to know that the chance of killing someone is extremely rare with the musket, so keep the musket and every man has the right to do so!!, not a modern day fully automated assault rifle which any crazy fool can pull the trigger and kill a large number of people!!!.

Guns need to be legal you can't get rid of gun's or gun control criminals are going to get guns no matter what incarcerating bad guys is how you get rid of mentally ill people.

Answer 200

The second amendment wasn't handed down by God - it can be repealed. The argument that it's not guns that kill, it's people, is nonsense. Of course it's people - there are a lot of sickos out there that can't be trusted. That's why there should be strict gun control. Do the gun lobby really believe that the second amendment gives every lunatic the right to buy as many guns as they want? Madness. Only in America.

Answer 201

Other countries in the past have banned citizens from having guns: China, the U.S.S.R., Nazi Germany, etc. Many times, this has resulting in abuse of government power and ultimately the death of millions. It was a fundamental understanding of the potential consequences of an unarmed populace that led to the addition of the second amendment to the constitution - primarily to allow people to guard themselves from the potential tyranny of government. And if you think that such a thing couldn't happen in the U.S., then you're delusional.

Answer 202

Its called a False Flag, the globalists need to get the masses to demand a ban on guns and an end to the US constitution. Problem Reaction Solution.

Answer 203

I wish to to hell I knew.



The Second Amendment exists for good historical reasons, but it has outlived its point. If the framers of the Constitution could see our situation now, they'd think we were out of our collective minds for not having repealed it.



And precedent does exist for the repeal of a Constitutional Amendment.

Answer 204

You must be a liberal without a brain. You do realize that banning guns will do absolutely nothing? People get guns illegally. Do you think criminals are going to think “oh let me just give up my gun and start following the law now” is that what you think?? Idiot

Answer 205

I live in a country where guns are illegal and there are probably liquidations everyday in my country. A ban on guns doesnt solve gun related crimes if someone really wanted to they could aquire some sort of armed weaponery even if its illegal

Answer 206

probably never. This society has been a gun-toting, gunfighting society since before the American Revolution. The early colonists used guns to kill big game and to make war on the Indians. Before and during the Civil War, white slaveholders and white abolitionists used guns to kill each other in Kansas, and the US in the 1840s used guns in the invasion of Mexico. After the Civil War, white settlers in the West used guns to fight Indians and cattle ranchers and sheepherders used guns to kill each other.



Then we get into the Prohibition era and the gun fights among Italian, Irish and Jewish gangsters to control the bootleg liquor business, followed by the Bonnie & Clyde period of armed bank robbers in the 1930s. Followed by all the gun violence, legal and illegal, by Americans of different races and ethnic groups ever since.



We'll probably never stop buying and using guns to kill each other, not with that history. Besides, making and selling guns is a big business in this country. It may be stupid & destructive & dangerous to the ordinary American, but guns and gun violence are part of the American Way of Life.



Today, guns also are a "popular" method that Americans use to commit suicide, and to murder ex-wives and ex-husbands. Let's face the truth: as a culture, we LOVE guns. "Guns R Us"

Answer 207

A gun is a tool. If you lay it down in the midst of a crowd it will not kill or harm anyone until it is picked up by a human. If you wish to ban something then ban the lack of understanding you have about life in a human world. Evil is created in our own minds and heinous acts our human contrivances.

Answer 208

In theory, gun laws will work. It sounds nice when proposed by politicians and on paper, but when using a little common sense, gun laws can be debatable, at best. Firstly, guns are already out there. If a bad person wants a gun to commit a crime, they will find a way to get a gun. Guaranteed. They might already have one. But, there is another problem with gun laws that often gets overlooked in my opinion. Let's say gun laws do work. People will still find ways to kill one another. Even if the gun laws work PERFECTLY and all gun people have limited gun rights and no bad people have guns (impossible in real world, esp. in America), if someone wants to commit a violent crime, they will find a way to do it. There are loads of other ways to kill people, even in large numbers. Once again, gun laws on paper sound nice. In reality, they are nearly impossible to enforce and not effective.

Answer 209

Since republicans are in power, they will probably ease gun restrictions to 'enable people to fight gun violence more effectively'

Answer 210

There is no need to ban guns, just ban automatic and semi automatic weapons. And teach people that killing is not an acceptable solution to problems (end the death penalty)

Answer 211

America won't because someone will always argue that if you ban guns only criminals will have guns.



Although that may be true for a while, eventually guns will become more difficult to get. Then our future society will appreciate banning guns. People could still use tranquilizer guns and tasers to defend themselve from criminals. But once a criminal got the drop on you with a gun, you having one does not help. The result is always the criminal has both his gun and yours.



Then there is the protect ourselves from the tyrannical government argument, which is flawed. If our government goes bad, we are obligated by law to register gun ownership. Those people will be visited in the middle of the night and encouraged to relinquish their guns. And the NRA members will be targeted also. Leaving only the criminal who had guns illegally around with guns. The rest of you would be in a detention camp or dead. Shooting range clientele would be targeted and ranchers.



So it's a flawed argument when you truly consider what would happen in reality.



Finally, there is the "It's our second amendment rights", being read out of context. The second amendment reads:



Second Amendment. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."



The right to bear arm is so the state can have a minute man militia to defend itself. We have an army now, we don't have militias sanctioned by the state. And even then, people were not allowed to have cannons on their front porch, so escalated private weaponry was not considered an acceptable understanding of the second amendment.

[e-mail]

Answer 213

Because that is unconstitutional and stupid. Banning guns will not stop criminals. Unless I am mistaken laws have never stopped a criminal before once they want to commit a crime. Come on people this is not that hard of a thought. Banning guns only takes the guns away from the law abiding citizens.

Answer 214

You ban gun that is only ban the ordinary people’s gun. The outlaws are out of the law, whether you ban gun or not they will always have guns, so it will end up only government and outlaws have guns. The gun give ordinary people equality when they facing violence and crime to defend their family.

Answer 222

Okay. Let's ban guns. Now what are we going to do to stop people from killing each other using banned weapons?



Gun powder is made from sulfur, saltpeter (potassium chloride) and petcoke (coal). These can all be obtained in quantity anywhere.



Guns can be made in any machine shop. There are even guns that can be made using a 3d printer.



The technology is too simple to think banning guns will make them go away.

The Bastille Day Niece attack with 86 dead.

The Norway mass shooting in 2011 with 77 dead.



Oh, by the way, these places banned guns and still had attacks and mass shootings.



Banning guns only stops the law-abiding people from having them, not the criminals, terrorists and lunatics.

Answer 225

With any of these shootings the real issue is never actually about Gun Control.



The real issue is SELF CONTROL.



Ethics based Self Control is a prime component and an indicator of the maturity of individuals and cultures.

Answer 242

Didn't the shooter use the gun to kill himself? Why should we ban guns when they stop most mass shooters?

Answer 243

More people died of drug overdoses in the United States since the shooting happened than died from gunfire during the shooting. Only an idiot would want to respond to this by disarming the entire United States population, making everyone defenseless against periodic psychopathic dictators, roving criminal gangs, and groups of heartily 'welcomed' foreign terrorists the way Europe does. Who always has to bail them out? Yeah, the guys with the guns.



What we need is exactly what the Constitution of the United States establishes, the formation and maintenance of well trained and supervised 'minute men' militias who are ALWAYS armed in every circumstance and are demonstrably ethical, noble, moral and lacking any criminal or governmental affiliation. Evil lives in fear of such men, (and always has in every society), whether evil appears as government, criminal enterprise, terrorists or psychopathic lunatics with ties to no one. They would know exactly how to spot this kind of person BEFORE they act, but would certainly know exactly what to do when they act as well.



Banning our only form of protection and 'trusting' the government is colossal stupidity.

Unfortunately most Americans are pig headed and only care about themselves. And they wonder why they are the most hated country on earth. They just can't seem to understand that there is a massive problem with gun laws there. They simple keep making excuses why they should be allowed to own a gun. And stupid excuses too as you can see with most of the comments on here. I do believe that changers with gun laws in America will happen eventually though whether they like it or not. As soon as their guns are all melted down into Tuna cans the better I say.

I am with you, they should ban guns forever

Answer 264

If not a gun then a homemade bomb. Or a gas, or some other bio-engineered chemical. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If someone wants to mass murder they'll find a way and a gun ban won't stop that motivation. Learn to get educated before spewing ignorance.

Answer 269

Stop using mayhem and tragedy to promote your lamebrained Leftist agenda!

Answer 270

The LVPD has stated that real automatic weapons were used. Such are already basically banned. Tell me, can you afford $11K for a Yugoslavian M53 copy of the Geram MG42? $5k for a real pre 1996 M16? Then pass the NICS and pat the BATF extra fees?



Do we KNOW he isn't a lone wolf convert to Islam? ISIS has been calling for converts to attack target rich places of unarmed citizens.



Or was this a stolen or black market military weapon? Our laws are tight on these. My other point I suppose is what solutions would you suggest? That doesn't create a fascist regime, suspicion and a militarized police?



Though you can't really fire back at 32nd floor machine guns, the real solution is allowing citizens to protect themselves AND awareness.

Answer 271

Hopefully never. All that will do is make sure that only the bad guys have guns. People have been killing each other long before guns were around. Rocks, knives, swords, bare hands, whatever else will suffice if someone truly wants to kill. The problem is the human heart, not that which the heart uses to express its desires.

Answer 272

And don't come begging at the door when our government turns on its own people and then can't defend yourself later on down the road because you were stupid enough to give up your gun rights.

Answer 273

When a 'good man' shoots people!

Answer 274

40,0000 people died in car accidents last year in America. When will America wake up and ban cars?

Answer 275

Simple facts show that gun ownership overall actually saves far more lives than it takes, including any kind of mass shootings. Logic would also show that banning privately owned firearms would simply mean that law abiding citizens would be disarmed against violent criminals who would continue to illegally possess their firearms or buy them on the black market, which would of course dramatically increase the rate of mass shootings and gun violence. Funny how it's always the areas where guns are banned that mass shootings occur, because hardly anyone can return fire except a cop who may or may not be on the scene by the time the attack occurs.



Trying to solve the issue of gun violence and mass shootings by banning privately owned firearms altogether is like trying to put out a house fire by using gas.



The solution to reducing this problem, ironically, would be eliminating gun free zones and banning Muslims, who still carry out the vast majority of mass shootings in the West.

crazy yanks still think theyre cowboys

Answer 279

And to think that some people would rather go to places like Las Vegas or Orlando, instead of Europe, because it's "safer".

Answer 280

It just goes to show humans are ****

Answer 281

Really can't see it happening. In the UK we have very strict gun laws, & a far lower rate of gun crime - but it was low even before. In the US the NRA is a well funded lobby group.

Didn't the new POTUS repeal Obama's background checks legislation?

Also, although 'automatics' are banned, & have been some some years, the 'bump stock' is an easy, cheap & legal get around. I'm not anti gun, have been shooting for nearly 50 years, but the US does have a problem.

Answer 282

Guns are not the problem. Mentally insane people with guns are. I know plenty of gun owners who are the most sane, responsible you will ever meet. Should those who are responsible be blamed and punished for the actions of a few nut-jobs? Many Liberals are quick to tell Conservatives to not punish Muslims for the actions of extremists, yet they do just that to gun owners? Hypocritical much?



Banning guns outright will not solve the issue, things like more comprehensive background checks and government efficiency (the guy in Vegas was being investigated by the FBI even before the shooting...why did he have guns while under an FBI investigation?)



The guns that the guy used were NFA weapons, and not everyone can get those, they require specialized paperwork, background checks, waiting periods, ***-load of money, and certain qualifications to get them. I highly doubt that this guy was in the right frame of mind to even get ONE of these NFA guns in the first place. Because the guns were NFA (hence illegal to most people), you cannot say that this was just some gun bought in some random gun store. It was probably obtained through a friend, or purchased illegally, and most gun owners have nothing to do with the NFA.

Answer 283

Huh?

Answer 284

We are over worked over stressed (men)under sexed under paid and our minds are being eaten alive by Television maybe we should concentrate on getting that part of thebrain that pulls the trigger to stand down.Anyone noticed all these shootings happened AFTER Esther Rolle died?!

Answer 287

Obama tried to ban military weapons but the NRA and contards all screamed that he wanted to take all guns.

Mass shootings done with military weapons are the fault of republicans

Answer 288

Guns do not kill people, people kill people.

Answer 289

Again, I've never seen a gun in my life, I live in Australia. I'm watching Blood Diamond the movie, set in some African country where they cut off hands for diamonds which are worth less than glass. To me, it almost seems like America is close to being a third world country.

Answer 290

Never. Then only violent lawbreakers will have guns.

Give up your guns=give away your freedom.

Answer 291

The Reason guns CANT be banned is because the an unarmed society is a sitting duck from it's government. You think "that will never happen" Ask the American Indian under the American Government. Ask the Jews under Hitler. Ask the Cambodians under Pol Pot. Ask the Russians under Stalin. It goes on and on. An unarmed society is not going to led to safety. Sorry history repeats its self over and over. Taking guns is not the answer. Sorry.

Answer 292

NEVER, dumb phuck.

Answer 293

to me not all guns need to be banned just those assault rifles that hold hundreds of rounds that are made for kiling people. We ban all guns and we will be ripe for being picked off by terrorists and just plain criminals WQe need the right to defend ourselves.

Answer 294

America will never wake up there is a lot of money involved in the gun industry and since everything is money driven in this country things will never change .

Answer 295

I heard the shooter also had materials for a bomb. We need to ban bombs first. Just a thought.

Answer 296

The shooter in Las Vegas used an automatic weapon. You can't buy those legally unless they were made before 1986. I highly doubt he went through the trouble to find one that old so banning guns would nothing.

Answer 297

When did they stop making regular Michelob beer? :-(

Answer 298

I'm say like this people will get gun weather legal or not criminal will find a way.

Answer 299

When a gun gets up on its own, walks out the door and shoots someone on its own, without any help from a human. Or when knives, cars, bats, pencils, etc are banned.

Answer 300

Sigh, America is too dumb to get rid of guns ;-;

Answer 301

Hopefully soon. It's so terrible.

Answer 302

You also ready to ban knives and acid products?

Answer 303

Never, not as long as americans cannot understand the connection between guns and shooting, as seen on the answers here.

Answer 304

When Hillary Clinton be the president in 2020

Answer 305

Guns are not the problem. Crazy, messed up, and disturb media, culture, and a few "bad apple" laws are to blame. I have friends whom work out there, so pray for them, their families, & employees there.

Answer 306

So some nuts shoots the hell out of a open-air Country Music festival in Vegas.

But why were there so many casualties?



Where were all the redneck sh*t-kickers who, every time there's an incident like this, say that armed citizens could've put a stop to the whole thing with a few shots?



Why weren't any of them shooting back at that psycho? Surely there would've been some there.
