Thread: Whats your opinion on automatic weapons?

Glen, you either want facts and figures or you don't. Whenever I have showed you, using facts and figures, that harsher gun control laws reduce firearms crimes you haven't bought it. When I told you that guncrime would increase immediately after any bans for obvious reasons that was then ignored. The FACTS are that in other first world countries with harsher gun laws than the USA there are lower gun crime rates, that is a FACT. If you use your logic that would say that if you apply those rules to the USA which is also a first world country the same would most likely occur.

Have you actually heard people talking about how cheaply drugs are available now? This website produced by the US Govt shows how supplies are lower than they have ever been,

Showing that changing laws and enforcing them DOES WORK to reduce availability!

Lets go back to how the UK gun crime stats were misinterpreted by many here. The ban came into place, in 1998 the crime rate involving guns was 0.000008. In 2007 the crime rate was 0.000000139, a lower crime rate by a factor of 10. We reduced gun crime by a factor of 10 over 10 years. You can work this out by taking into account the UK population.

the crime rate for the USA in 2010 was 0.0000318, enough said.

I think "Quality" depends on your meaning? Most powdered drugs now have a higher percentage of active ingrediant, but also have a greater percentage of harmful chemicals in them. Marajuana has a higher THC content, however this is traded off with greater psychological damage, I wouldn't consider this higher quality.

Please allow this post to show you how restricting access to guns by removing them from sale reduces gun crime by a factor of 10.

To counter your point, "I hear people talking about how easy it is to buy drugs and how cheap they are now" ... which "proves my point" Wow


BTW in comparison drugs have actually gone up in quality and down in price over the last 30 years, one of the few commercial products to do so
