Personally I would have thought it'd be better for the killer to be denied a gun, than to distribute them to all.

I've always thought, if I travelled in America, I would get a gun, because I'm not prepared to travel a land of gun toting yahoos without any means of defence. Even so I would much rather that no-one had guns, instead of everyone having guns.

As for your sig BJWD...

I'm not saying this isn't a true quote, but could you provide a reasonably impartial source verifying this?

Once again, I google one of your little soundbites and get nothing but right-wing bloggers and forums repeating the same quote in lockstep.

I will live in America soon, and I won't buy a gun. I will be totally safe as well. Random violent crime is wonderfully low in the US. From time to time (like the horrible events in the past days) a really horrible random act of violence scares us into thinking things are worse than they are. Add to this a violence obsessed media (why don't they just show more sex instead?? Violence good, sex bad? I don't get it) and we have a warped view of life there.

About my sig. I pulled it off of digg. It is from one of those 'right wing' sites. Brussels Journal maybe? Not sure. Maybe it is a lie. I dunno. I guess I'm due for a new one soon anyhow.

In the US I got a semiauto .308 rifle. I keep it next to my bed. There are bullets in the magazine, but none in the chamber and I have the safety on. My room mate at the time served in the US army, and he had about 3 or 4 guns himself. I'll tell you one thing, if someone decided that they wanted to bust down our apartment door and try to shoot/rob/murder then they had something else coming.

When I go back to the US, I plan on buying a 12 gauge shotgun and load it with rocksalt. Kinda like you saw in Kill Bill Volume 2. It won't kill you but it'll hurt like a mofo.

I currently have a concealed carry permit. Do I carry? Not often. Only when I go into the city. Out here where I currently live there is no need to carry-Every body owns a gun , mostly long guns. An armed society is a VERY polite society. In the city, which is the most dangerous in my state legal gun ownership is low-hense the need for the permit to carry. As for the kid who shot up Virginia Tech, it seems that he was very sick.

I own several guns back home in Texas and I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon (gun).

If I were at the VT and saw this dude shooting up innocent people, I would've been the last person this dude ever saw before eating my bullet.

when guns are outlawed only outlaws will carry guns.

I'm sure since the great countries of england and australia have outlawed guns there have been zero shootings.

Guns are the reason the tragedy happened in virginia. Only a real moron would advocate allowing more gun freedom. americans are total morons for allowing anyone to own a gun, and allowing people to carry with a simple permit.

Guns kill people too easily. How often have you heard of a mass knifing or mass attack with a blunt object? Guns are a cowards weapon because they can kill from a distance. Cowards are prone to these sorts of attacks. americans are cowards.

Ain't it funny how all the poeple I expected to see on this thread supporting guns all happen to have them...

I blieve in arming yourself but I also believe people should be educated about them. People should be required to take a course or have a licence.

What you guys don't seem to see is that people that own guns legally are not the problem. Statistics in Canada showed that less then 1% of legal firearms were involved in a crime which were mostly in the form of stolen guns. (it was .5%) Then highest firearms abuse stat was suicide at a whoping 3%.

30,000+ people die in the united states every year by guns. Another 60,000 are shot and survive.

The problem Wrench is not gun ownership, its the fact that special interest groups in the US have so twisted the debate and manipulated people to the point where there is almost no control whatsoever. Again, the fact that you can buy a weapon that is easily converted into an automatic weapon, or that you can buy a sniper rifle that can shoot down an airliner is disgusting. I'm not saying ban all guns, but start dealing with it in a serious way. If you need to take a course, pass a test and have a licence to drive a car, boat, plane, helicopter, use explosives, you surely should need one to own a firearm.
