You don't think there is a need and a responsibility to try to slow down the violence?
Should people with baseball bats, monkey wrenches, fireplace pokers, kitchen knives, rope, scarves, vases, brooms (handles), cast iron skillets, cans ... should they all have to report to the government that they have these things and have it publicly known?thedynasty1998;699288 wrote:A gun is a deadly weapon that is responsible for violence on a daily basis. Do I think this proposal would eliminate the problems associated with guns? No. But maybe it makes a slight difference, and if it does, then it's worth it.
Quit trying to compare the watches I own to ownership of guns. It's just not the same.
Again, I'm pretty impartial to gun rights, but I hate it when people get all uptight trying to protect their "rights" that were written into the constitution 200 years ago.
At one point it was my "right" to smoke in bars, but guess what, things change, and sometimes for the better.

You were very outspoken about how scary Easton is because of all the thugs out there, what do you propose?

I'm absolutely amazed that this has to be explained down to the minutest details.

What I propose be done is that the laws that are already on the books be enforced
Because statistics show in black and white that, for example, cities who have heavy gun legislation laws have a known correlation with crimes rising. Again, it's not the average legal gun owner you need to worry about.thedynasty1998;699386 wrote:How do we know what will and won't work?

So by make public knowledge of those that own guns if a crimial can't buy a gun he/she can just go shopping on the website of public record and steal it for my house or the his neighbors home. Yep! that make things eazy... let make it real eazy public posting we also own a dog... and the breedthedynasty1998;699409 wrote:Do you agree that guns are far too accessible to thugs?

It's not hard to determine who drives a Mercedes or who is wearing a Rolex, but that doesn't mean they are getting robbed. I think this is a really poor argument for not having to register your guns with the government.Belly35;699447 wrote:So by make public knowledge of those that own guns if a crimial can't buy a gun he/she can just go shopping on the website of public record and steal it for my house or the his neighbors home.

Public posting of this information just increased the accessiblity 10 fold

Obviously there isn't a simple solution and I don't know the answer. But I think that the people that are so pro gun might have to be open to the idea of being more restricted or be willing to register them.
Incorrect! DC had a handgun ban in place and led the country in handgun crime during that ban.thedynasty1998;699316 wrote:Don't be so simple minded. The more accessible guns are, the more gun violence we will have. Guns are deadly weapons. That's a fact. ....
Yes but how does making a law that only affects law abiding citizens change that?thedynasty1998;699409 wrote:Do you agree that guns are far too accessible to thugs?
Try this novel idea.... punish the criminals more harshly and for longer times. But don't infringe my rights with some delusional thought that taking my rights will stop crime.thedynasty1998;699413 wrote:And you never answered this question. What do you propose be done?
