The Gun Control debate thread

[Mr. Daystar]

I think a majority would agree there is no major problem with mentally fit persons owning revolvers, pistols or single-shot-at-a-time hunting rifles.

It's on weaponry with machine-gun features that the discussion is actually about.

Very few crimes, like somewhere from 3% to 5% of crimes are committed with a long gun. Restricting there ownership will have little effect on the crime rate.

As I said, the point is the machine guns. But even small statistics need regulations.

When you re-watch it as an adult, you notice the details. Like no gasps/screams. His staring down the person several moments after they drop dead. Or the fact that he's even carrying a gun when he's about to perform.
Like I said, it was a different time.

Although I have the same reaction to people talking on their phones during a movie.

They used to show them regularly shooting themselves, especially Sylvester. Off topic, but the Looney Tunes was what turned me on to some classical music, this particular piece was the first one, as a matter of fact.

A very accurate description of half of gun deaths.

I actually watched a performance at the Sydney Opera House of this

Classical music was really integral to that show
