What is better, no guns, or more guns?

[Big Blitz]

Watching Ds come out to defend Canada's handgun ban has pretty much sealed the deal that there will be zero compromise on guns. 

 

Continuing to reveal themselves as supporters of full on bans of all types.  

 

We told you.  

 

 

Not ONE saying "yea Canada you're not helping here."  

 

Thank you very much Trudeau.  Thank you.

Why?  Is this what you'd like for the US? 

 

"Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives," 

 

Do you agree with this statement from Trudeau?

In general sure, I think you can make the argument that it's an ideal and not realistic.

Well if it's not realistic what's the point? 

 

And looking to Canada to "fix" this problem is the biggest unrealistic part of this whole conversation.

Isn't the point of ideals to work towards them?

Ideals will turn unrealistic tasks to realistic tasks?  So how's life in Utopia?  I've heard so much about it.

The World is never going to be perfect that doesn't mean you don't work towards it.

"The world" isn't mine or your priority.  

 

If we do our jobs (Family first), the world becomes a better place.  

 

 

We aren't doing our jobs.

 

Everyone go back to your screens for an exorbitant amount of time.  Kids to.

Yep that's great news it's always the guns fault but although there are parts of the law that his socialist/liberal agenda may have good merit to they don't or won't look into or address the other pieces of the puzzle which could have more to do with the over all problem .

 

Like over medication of young people or people in general with anti depressants or other mind altering drugs or the lack of discipline in parenting no consequences other than time out or taking away a toy or little to no social interaction with others to reinforce that interaction with other human beings is much more precious than that of watching a computer screen, & then the implementation of every one gets a trophy as to not disappoint or hurt the youngsters feelings .

 

Then overlook the allowing todays youth to stay in a room for hours on end starring at a phone or iPad playing call of duty & different things that COULD desensitize them to such things as killing someone by making them think they can just push reset & everything is okay .

 

Also the fact of people being scared to death when they notice a person or persons acting in such a way that sends up huge red flags yet they won't say a word because they feel they could get sued as many did with those that committed these heinous crimes .

 

Which goes along with the fact of those that make bogus claims being allowed to do so with little or no consequence or recourse .

 

I know of a case involving social services of blatant misuse of the programs provided by lying & deception & a person that i know had tried to bring it to someones attention & was told that if they did look into it & those in question were able to cover up the truth as they had been doing for years that the person that gave the information would go to jail .

 

Which if it in fact was false info then they should have a consequence but that's not how it works today false accusations go out with no consequence of any kind especially if you have money like the Steel Dossier & other such things which shows lead by example but that's another discussion . 

 

So that just enforces the belief that you are better off to keep your mouth shut or not get involved & just let the crime continue which has become the way of today's society .

 

Use to be if someone broke the law or if they were going to or planning to break the law you either intervened or brought it to the proper authorities attention but it's a totally different world today in which we live every one is better off just to shut up because the laws benefit the criminal more than the innocent people !!

 

And i am one of those that is looked at as being the crazy one in todays society but in certain instances I except it in every way ...

I worked for a company whose motto was "Only Perfect Will Do!"   Talk about setting people up for failure.  

 

So what's the towards the impossible process look like?  How close do you want to get to it?  

[ArdmoreRyno]

Just to post actual hard points with surveillance the school I work at (these are today, school has been out for 2 weeks now). You aren't getting into the school without eyes on you. Only one door opens and it's an "buzz in" door that locks automatically. There are 7 cameras alone pointing towards the entrance in various angles. We also have gunshot sound devices that will alert LEO is they think a shot is fired in the area.

This on a national scale seems like a great place to start.

All registers gun owners should be required to renew their registration periodically and have a new background check ran. 

 

 

I mean ideally you want to get as close as you can get, but I'm sure there are other things you have to balance that with.

I want to make sure we are debating the same point.  When you say this seems like a great place to start what are you referring to?

Specifically in this case towards sensible gun regulations.

 

More broadly toward this statement:

But there are likely so many other things that'd go towards that besides gun regulations. (Sports shooting would just recreational shooting anyway, right?) It'd include things like law enforcement, criminal reform(both the prisons and the actual criminals), hell even economics probably comes into it.

Trudeau said other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting there is no reason ANYONE should need a gun.  That shows me he has no clue as to why so many people own guns.  So there is no one that owns a handgun for personal protection?

Well, when the Vulcans make first contact with us and it's year 2360 and Captain Picard is commanding the NCC-1701-D, we can have world peace.

That may be completely true and what he meant, I'm mainly just going off that statement as an ideal which it does work for. In an ideal world nobody should need a gun for personal protection, but like I said there's a lot that goes into that situation beyond just gun regulation, and banning hand guns isn't a place I'm at.

No one should need a gun for personal protection?  In an ideal world?  So we’re back Utopia. That world does not exist here in the US and never will.  I take the protection of my and my wife’s lives seriously because if I don’t who will. This is the reason I bought my first firearms 10 years ago.  So you advocate for me to no longer be able to protect myself?
