300 million people. Every once in a while, a kid gets ahold of a gun and kills someone. I'd bet there are kids who have murdered people with baseball bats too. Should discussing baseball bats on the internet be banned? How about scissors?

More people are killed every year by doctors than by guns. Most of the gun deaths in this country are suicides. Most of the "kids" killed by guns are between the age of 16 and 24, and are members of gangs, living in inner city poverty. Yes, all deaths like this are a shame. Guns aren't really the problem.

Please do not turn this into a political anti/pro gun ownership thread, as that is what is not allowed.

Pretty much all of them. Total gun bans are very rare, and even in the Netherlands, gun ownership is possible with the right licenses and a gun club membership.

Really, gun laws are much less strict than most people assume. Canadians can own most of the nice "assault rifles" including many that are unavailable in the US, the French can own pretty much anything shown in the Gun-Fi thread, and UK citizens can own straight pull "assault rifle" variants and a variety of revolvers.

For the record, for those who may have seen the now deleted posts in this thread, despite his accusations and name calling, it was not me who deleted gajjin's thread, nor me who banned him. However, thanks to his re-registering and immature behaviour , I HAVE now banned him permanently. We do not have the time, nor patience to put up with immature temper tantrums from people who cannot abide by the site's rules nor behave appropriately.

Once again, I ask that everyone drop the pro/anti-gun discussion. We allow discussion about guns as "gear" only. There is to be no political pro/con discussion about guns.

I hope this is perfectly clear, because if it starts up again, we will have to assume it's intentional thread crapping done to derail and/or close a legitimate discussion.
