What is your stance on this hot-topic in the United States and in general?
I shall withhold my beliefs until later.
Discuss!
There are a few flaws with this statement1: BLack market firearms are only readily available due to how easy they are to attain now. Not controlling their purchasing initially is how criminals get them to begin with and why production scaled so inappropriately.2: Many accidental deaths and homicides are from otherwise law abiding citizens prior to the outlying incident.To prevent a seriously long rant that would take me forever to type up, I will simply state this:ANY law that controls the use of guns is simply giving criminals more leverage over the law-abiding citizens. I mean c'mon they're called criminals for a reason. They can simply just avoid all the background checks and limitations but buying one from a third party source.
The only relevant counterexample is the western democracy with the most access to guns has 5-10 times the amount of firearms death per captia of every other one of its contemporaries. Having more guns has caused more people on average to die from guns and nothing else. Every country with gun control does not have these problems.I'm going to prevent a long message and make this brief. If everyone has a gun, no one with a gun will be "powerful" anymore, if a gunner shoots 1 person the next 5 next to them can pull one out, while that's unrealistic countries that do that have less crime, I have many examples to support my claims, but yeah, that's about it.
False, countries such as Australia, Canada and the UK that do not have the law to carry firearms have less crime and far less deaths than countries such as the US which do.In my opinion if firearms should be legal in a country only the use of Pistols and hunting rifles/shotguns should be made legal. I see no reason why someone that does not belong to the armed forces would need anything else. This way if there is a shooting either the gunner would have to get the weapons from the black market or it would not do as much damage overall than if they had more heavy duty weapons such as Assault riflesI'm going to prevent a long message and make this brief.

Last time I checked an AR15 can be used to hunt ggnoreFalse, countries such as Australia, Canada and the UK that do not have the law to carry firearms have less crime and far less deaths than countries such as the US which do.

Any gun can be used to hunt. There's no "ggnore" about it. Also an AR-15 is a Semi-Auto/Burst fire rifle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15, banned for restricted in most countries for that reason. Which anyone with a grain of sense knows it's not a Hunting rifle. Just look at this site http://www.riflecraft.co.uk/rifles/hunting-rifles-70.aspx and you can clearly see the difference. One is a modified assault rifle to meet US laws, where as hunting rifles are either Modified air rifles or weak semi-auto riflesLast time I checked an AR15 can be used to hunt ggnore
No you took a stab at assault rifles saying they were all bad.http://www.riflecraft.co.uk/rifles/hunting-rifles-70.aspx[/url] and you can clearly see the difference. One is a modified assault rifle to meet US laws, where as hunting rifles are either Modified air rifles or weak semi-auto rifles
In Japan it's worked pretty good.License system and controlling it's purchase definitely works in some parts of the world.
