We don't know that, it's never been tried. In the UK, there is a very clear correlation. No-one knows in the US because guns have never been outlawed.
Do you think that letting the people decide what they want with regards to the legality of guns - a vote, the majority decision becomes the new law - is a silly proposition? That's called democracy. You don't get your way, I don't get my way (after all, we are 2 in 300 million), but the 300 million get it *their* way. It is 300 million times more *their* country than it is ours. You know what I mean?
Right on AFA, I thought Auto's was $5,000. just think how much $$$$$$ OUR GOVERNMENT, THAT WE ALLREADY PAY, AND HAS BETTER HEALTH CARE THAN THE REST OF US HAVE, BETTER PENSION PLAN, CAN PUT IN THERE POCKETS!!! Remember "Ol Joe Kennedy", he made his riches selling scrap iron & steel to Japan before WWII. With the Dems. in Congress & House, we're ( The American People ) are just about screwed ALL the way around.
If they ever, I mean ever go to take away the guns, there will be a REVOLT in this country!!!
But what really gets me, they ( Our Stupid Elected Officials ) don't really grasp at whats really going on!!! If they take our guns away, we hand them over in a trance, because they cast there spell on us, ALL of us. Do you think they'll stop there??????? No Friggin Way!!! They will continue to take & take & take!!! If you don't know what I mean, it's this $$$$$$$$ other words MONEY!!!!
Now, if the guns are gone, and you want to get rid of someone, most people have the neatest thing thanks to Mr. Ford!!! The car, pick-up, motor-cycle, hell, a bike can knock a person over!!! How about a 40 Ton ( That's 80,000 lbs ) 18 wheeler!!!! Make em flat as a pancake!!!! There's kitchen knives & cleavers, remember Lorina Bobbit??????
Banning Guns Ain't The Answer, Never Was, Never Will Be!!!! It's The People!!! There The Ones At Fault, And Make's It Bad For The Rest Of Us!!!
But no-one gets this mad, 96cavy, about all the other rights they have taken away from you... just the right to have a ***...
So if the people of America were able to vote on everything as I want them to, and they voted by 60% majority to outlaw personal guns, then would you want to shoot all of them too? That's a lot of people dropped over your personal opinion. You call it a right, but like I said, you also have a right to shoot up ****, and look at ****** porn, but it's a right the government (and society's moral standards) say you *don't* have. So why aren't you fighting for those things too?
They are in England. One of the better things about the place. This place has a lot of good things too, before you tell me "then go back there etc". As I tell others, no matter how loud, big or bold you write it, it doesn't make it any more true. You're still one voice in 300 million. You don't know what the future holds. I hope one day, the law represents what the majority of that 300 million wants instead of just the ones with bold type and bullets.

I believe the closed border thing is more like 50-50 if even. I don't care what the statistics say, I'd have to conduct the research myself to believe that. Plus, I have never heard that statistic before.
If it were anywhere near true, I would put that down to all of the anti-foreigner propaganda in our media. Also a few years with closed borders would show America what happens to an economy when no-one is allowed in to do the lesser paid jobs. Also, what harm are the foreigners doing?
And as for saying the government should have more control: I don't believe that. I think Americans should vote on everything, even closing the border. And we'll see what happens. I think people would vote to outlaw guns, and keep the borders open but restricted, and if I was wrong, I would obviously go with the majority decision cause that's fair, and no-one could ever say the government took away rights. I believe you feel about foreigners and guns the way the government wants you to feel (uber patriotic, angry against immigrants, keeps your mind off the real issues: why is your money not being spent on better schools and healthcare for your ****).
Anyway... I'm sorry you got mad, and peace to you.

That reminds me of when you tell a *** not to eat chocolate and he goes and gets twice as much chocolate as he would have gotten and eats it grinning.Just kidding.
OK no seriously, you and the others are so adamant about no right being taken away from you, so someone answer me, I've asked this 10 times and haven't received one single answer:
Why are you not screaming and protesting about your right to:
Use *****
Build bombs
Possess "*******" fireworks
Produce or distribute ******/****/simulated r*** porn
Hire a prostitute
These and a million other rights are taken away from you by the government, whether they're things you'd want to do or not, it's the same principle as taking your *** or your freedom of speech, so why are you not bothered that these "freedoms" are *******?
Fox
Even you know how criminal our regime is; they're literally on the scale with imperialist **** Germany. So why would you want the central government to take away our rights when they don't even LISTEN to us? 90% of Americans want the border closed. Our politicians have failed, and they failed abismally. Even if they were competent, I would still be angry, but the fact that they ARE SO incompetent, really makes my ***** boil when someone says they should have even more control over me.
“The individual right to bear arms is the dividing line between free people and oppression”
"The right of self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals"
“Free men are armed. Slaves are not”
The quickest way to make oneself look ignorant is to make such statements just like the person you responded to did.I wouldn't say they are on the scale of **** Germany...read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and you'll see BIG differences.
The quickest way to make oneself look ignorant is to make such statements just like the person you responded to did.
I won't even respond to him.
At that point, they aren't interested in debate, but demonization and ****.
It's much more difficult to look at a leader's viewpoint, show how its wrong, explaining exactly why.
I will only engage those who are interested in debating the issues, and not just labeling.
I think that's why German's previous leader fell on his own statement and comparisons of W. to Hitler.
Guns should be registered..just like cars, boats, property, etc. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If you're on the up and up I don't see why anyone would have anything to worry about.
And I doubt very much the American government would pull anything remotely close to what the Nazis did. The only thing I could see them doing is slapping a tax on *** owners (anything to make a buck of course).
Anyone who compares the American government to that of the Nazis needs to really pick up a history book.
They just finally took the tolls off going into downtown Buffalo. They were introduced in the 70s as part of an 18 month plan to pay off the cost of something. They conveniently forgot to remove them for the best part of 30 years.
