Yes, that's why there's about 1 or 2 deaths at most by guns here in The Netherlands, where guns aren't allowed. Unfortunately by allowing guns in the first place it has come too far for your country to go back. So in that case yes, they will be able to get guns because they're everywhere already.

HMMMMMMM
And why do you guess are they robbing a bank? They obviously need money. They've become economically deprived ( or are just too lazy to work ). Fix that and there don't need to be bank robberies.

This.

Gun control advocates really have no clue what kind of a shitstorm will be loosed upon the American people if their precious legislation ever got too controlling. No self-respecting responsible gun owner would be hiding their faces from this story...those parents all but deserved what they got for not teaching their child correctly and not securing their firearm properly. If the kid broke into the gun safe...pick a better combination or hide the key.

Aera...not allowing guns in the hands of the general populace has only served to give government more than appropriate control. Governments should never be able to totally dominate their voters. And people rob banks because they're greedy. Not everyone robbing a bank is hurting for cash.

The world should revert to martial weapons, and get rid of all firearms. A more elegant weapon from a more civilized time.

I have a novelty one of these that I picked up in Japan a few years back. These things are big and I am guessing a little hard to swing indoors... Although poking would do the charm

I can't remember what state it is, but there if I remember correctly, there is a state that allows weapons to carried by citizens and crime there is actually lower then states that have banned it. Wanna know why it's down? What criminal wants to rob someone if they think they might have a gun? Criminals don't always have a suicidal attitude. If they think the victim might have a gun and shoot them, they don't mess with them.

yes, because I'm sure that once guns get banned all of the outlaws, thugs, and lowlifes will just be lined up early outside the gun drop-off depot muttering under their breaths "curses, foiled by the man again." AND THEN WE WILL ALL LIVE SUPAR HAPPY LAND SKIPPING THROUGH THE FLOWERS HOLDING HANDS BECAUSE VIOLENCE IS ELIMINATED THAT EASILY.

Let's legalize cocaine, heroine, XTC and all that good stuff. The outlaws, thugs and lowlifes already have it, so if we can get it anyways, we might as well legalize it...

Problem solved.
All Swiss males get an assault rifle as part of mandatory military service, but you never hear of them killing each other.

You just hear about them being beautiful people and making shittons of cash off of banking other people's money.

I think that would be a good idea. I say we do it. Prohibition never done anybody any good.


P&T did some great shows with that BS series.

A man was arrested for holding up a back with a cucumber he bought at the produce store across the street by holding it in his pocket pretending it is a gun.
OH SHIT VEGGI-CONTROL IS NEEDED!

Leave a gun where a teen will get it and nature will take its course. And somehow the teen got the keys to where both the gun and the xbox was held.

Frankly he probably would have killed someone sooner or later anyways and considering how much of a cold-blooded son of a you-know-what that kid was, he'd have found something else to do the deed with.

The point is that banning things does nothing but mark them as delicious candy to those who intend to break the rules. Banning guns would only cause the crime rate to skyrocket because those who didn't give up their guns would think themselves invulnerable to everyone else.
