hello sandbox i think it is time we have a discussion on gun control, specifically within the United States but also taking into consideration how other developed nations handle their gun control policies and how successful it is for them.

with mass shootings happening almost every day in the united states including the horrific one just a few weeks ago at pulse night club, there has been even more debate about gun control

some things to consider/questions to answer:

are republicans soft on the issue of gun control?

are non-gun owners uneducated about how regulated the firearms industry already is?

is the issue a mental health issue and not a gun issue?

mexico has strong gun control and high murder rates, us has liberal gun laws and a high murder rate, japan has strong gun control and low murder rate, Switzerland has liberal gun laws and low murder rate. UK and AU both outlawed guns and have an increased violent crime and murder rate. are guns really the problem?

should there just be a ban on assault rifles or should handguns be banned or controlled too?

We should neuter everyone who applies for a gun because that's also population control
If you're gonna control population by killing people you better control yourself too.


I don't think everyone who buys a gun has intention to kill others. At least, I know I don't.

i think we can conclude that only women and elderly men get gun licenses, in the interest of equalising things, keeping the strong of the weak

no need for m16's or any other nutty bs like that tho

Oh I get it. Thought we were having a real discussion. Color me embarrassed.


u should be embarrassed, and u ain't deflecting that

this is the fcking nutcase individualism i've been talking about throughout this thread


If you think denying a citizen their safety is a stand against 'individualism' then more power to you. You're very brave and progressive, Sven.

nah, you got me. it's a tricky one. some c*nt tries to a girl up an alley, or some c*nt breaks into some little old lady's house, they deserve to be blown away.

what about just women get guns? lol


Do only women experience crime now? Elderly men don't deserve to feel protected? You want the largest human to be able to impose his will on anybody weaker than him with no repercussion?

So you're fine with guns now, with the exceptions of certain ones (since you mentioned an ak47 and m16). Can't move the goalposts when you start to feel uncomfortable with your position


that's a pretty ridiculous view to take. ur just trying to win an argument here?

meanwhile kids are shooting up their schools
