In America we have a long way to go when it comes to understanding the meaning of fairness. Guns are not fair when criminals purchase them and use them against our own citizens. If citizens did not have guns, police would not need guns with a lethal capacity and I argue our society would be a more peaceful one at that.
Then you have the IQ of a turnip.
If you remove guns from citizens WITHOUT removing ALL guns everywhere, then criminals will have them and citizens won't. Proven fact.
In EVERY society where private firearms are banned after having been legal to some extent crime INCREASES as much as 400%. Proven fact.
The rights of someone who does not commit a crime exceed the rights of someone who does. My own personal opinion, but one I'll fight to the death for.

Hmmm... you "we'll do what we want types, even if it's wrong" got smacked down in the Civil War. It could happen again. Don't push your luck.
It's also the "do what we want types" that fought the British in the Revolutionary War AND the War of 1812 and WON.
Psst, 1812 was a Draw.
No, the Brits gave up, that's not a draw in my book.
The US hadn't won any major battle when the peace treaty was signed. We didn't even get to keep canada and the birts didn't get to keep any US so it was basicly a draw for US. But being the under dogs a draw was a win.
Didn't win a major battle? Battle at Fort McHenry was very a much a victory. We may not have inflicted a lot of casualties or taken ground, but we held ground and exhausted the Brits ability to continue the assault. That is in fact a victory.
The war was filled with similar results on both sides in separate battles.
Your point is meaningless in this context.
Haha, we still won. 😉
The US raided York (Toronto), then capital of Canada during the war, but Canada still burned down the White House along with all other public buildings in Washington.
A sore spot that the US will never, ever, live down.
Canadan was still trying to get the hourse back from northern canada. It was the red coats that burned down DC.

Oh yes I forgot. Canada wasn't really a British colony filled with European peasants, retired soldiers, French traders, and plenty of Indians. Nope, it was actually all made up of British and the entire war was fought by English men with bad teeth.
The only ones who were generally English was officers. The vast majority of soldiers were colonized Canadians levied to fight for the Crown as "red coats".
In fact the general who burned the Whitehouse down was British but the troops were not.

If you don't ban guns but ban ammunition this would effectivly ban guns because there would be nothing to shoot. Frankly, I doubt anyone would dare make their own ammo and risk having their face blown off.

So what will you do to defend yourself when I, a 6'6" 490 lb man with a sword comes after you? Guns allow each citizen to defend himself regardless of physical stature - equal protection under the law. (No, I'm not really quite that big 😛)Originally posted by: gutharius
If you ban the manufacture and sale of them then no more problem. If this is carried to all around the world then guess what no more problem. Other nations around the world have done this and they are better off for it. The US gun fatality rate is 10 times that of the second place holder of that statistic. And yes they have banned guns.
I also believe it's completely naive to believe that eliminating gun manufacture would get rid of all guns. Millions or even billions of guns are already existing. We don't have the capability to stop countries from making nuclear weapons - how do you propose we stop them from building guns?

Does it matter? It's credited as a British 'accomplishment' in history.

Everything you need to cast bullets, form brass, prime, load, etc.
Much cheaper than purchasing commercial ammo in many cases.

And so the turnip speaks:
This is what the UN is proposing, a world wide ban on guns. Proven fact.
I would like linkage to support that claim. If you don't ban guns but ban ammunition this would effectivly ban guns because there would be nothing to shoot. Frankly, I doubt anyone would dare make their own ammo and risk having their face blown off.
As far as rights, no one should have the right to own a device which can be used to blow the head off another human being. On the way to fighting to the death for it I hope you realize I am right before you die, we would hate to have another human life lost to such an ideology that guns are good for our society, tho your death would prove us right in the end.

Depends who's history book you read.
At the time it was one and the same.

There wasn't even a Canadian at Washington when the British burned it down.
A sore spot on the Canadians - the Americans burned down parts of Toronto and the Canadians did nothing.

When you do any research what so ever you let me know. Last time I checked you were passing off your own ideas as facts.

Bottom line, we live in a hostile world we, as people indeed as human beings, do not need this hostile world made any more deadly by having devices in cars, backpacks, and elsewhere used at passing motorists or pedestrians simply because you didn't approve of their driving skills or the language of their T-Shirt.
Guns DO NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS! They started the problem and we as citizens of this nation are stuck paying the price in human life and blood.

Wrong. Check stats for states that allow concealed-carry permits: crime drops dramatically. You have a right to defend yourself from GI Joe should he try to impose himself on you. In many cases, a firearm is the only method for someone to defend themself from someone who physically outclasses them.Originally posted by: gutharius

Sure, but it's still much more widely credited as a British accomplishment. Maybe in Canada they credit it as a Canadian accomplishment since they're so nationalistic up there they would alter history.

What was to be a quick Google, turned into wading through pages and pages of over reactions(conspiracies) from both sides of the issue. I finally came across this which seemed pretty neutral to the issue. I also vaguely recall a thread on this, though it may have been a few years ago now, a Search failed to turn up anything. At anyrate, this issue has taken on a life of its' own that's far from the reality of what the UN is doing or proposing.
