RE:RE:I have no words Pokin, first of all I don't care what other countries are doing. The reason we are different then every other country is because it is a right by our constitution that we can own guns. As for hand guns even back when the constitution was formed they had hand guns. What do you think duels were fought with.
Yes, technology has increased round capacity and how fast you can shoot. However a vast majority of the US gun owners are law abiding citizens (Just like Canada). Maybe one fix would be if you perform a crime with a gun it's a maximium penalty in Prison. Then again certain Liberal DA's are letting criminals go scott free by choosing not to prosecute the criminals.
Instead of taking guns away from the law abiding citizens just raid the high crime rate areas of a city, arrest the people who don't own a gun legally and confiscate the weapon. Every month or so do the same thing until they get the message or they are in jail. Putting them back on the street with no consequences isn't going to fix the issue. It's going to make it worse. In other words go after the people who use them willingly to perform crimes. Your blaming the entire country for a certain portion of the population. I'm sure you doidn't know that gangs account for a high percentage of the shooting in the US.
