This is the last time I am going to repeat this: it was my opinion. I said I think we are slowly reaching that point.
Read my posts carefully please.
Read above.
I understand that its your opinion.
My statement is that without knowing what your opinion is being BASED off of, and more specifically if its being based off anything factual, its hard to address your point.
I could say its my opinion that we all are actually not born from the womb of a woman after a males sperm joins a female egg, but in reality we are hatched by great god storks that bring the baby to the woman and manipulates our minds to think that we've actually given birth.
Just because its my "opinion", there's no reason anyone should agree with it, or really try to argue against it, if I don't provide SOME KIND of facts to back up my claim that they can use as reference and context to respond.
No, increasing the prices on bullets makes the most sense to me.
I'm not going on facts here, but the U.S. is sometimes considered more violent than most other countries. I've heard that gun crimes are more rampant here than many other countries that are considered "first world." Is this a problem? Is this wrong? I think it is, I'm not sure what you think, but I think there is a definite problem here.
I think the conservative stance on this is basically saying "oh its ok, it'll all go away." From my view it looks like pro-gun activists would rather give people the right to hold a gun than hold on to their own lives.
That is my opinion.
That is your opinion, and thanks for admitting that your opinion isn't based on fact but gossip and speculation.
Yes, there is an argument factually that the U.S. has a higher gun crime rate than other countries. There's also the argument that the U.S.'s population and larger amount of heavily urban areas than other countries contributes to this as much, if not far more, than the fact we allow people to have access to guns. There is facts that back up that places like DC or Chicago, which had or do have some of the most stringent gun laws, actually have higher violent crime rates than places that have looser restrictions. Does that necessarily mean the absence of easy gun access to law abiding citizens is the reason for it? No, there's multiple reasons for it. But its just as much "proof" that taking guns away will not help things as you have for saying taking them away will help.
My issue with taking bullets away is its an inane, irrational, pointless action not based on facts, not based on any actual reasoning, other than "people have killed people with guns, therefore we need to take bullets away". That's a faulty, asinine logic. That's like looking at all deaths that involve cars and going "People have killed people with cars, therefore we need to tires away" while ignoring all the other factors involved.
Regardless of the 2nd amendment infringements, in general, laws should not be passed because they "Feel good" or because "we have to do
something" if there is no basis or realistic FACTS to suggest it will have a POSITIVE affect.
Add in the fact that its likely an end around against the 2nd amendment, and then there's even LARGER burden for people to provide legitimate evidence as to why its absolutely positively needed and that it will have a positive effect.
This isn't insulting your or casting stones for your opinion. You're free to have it. I'm telling you that without any actual facts to back it up its a bad opinion, and even worse law.
