RE: Reality Check: Trump Did Not Make It Easier for Severely Mentally Ill People To Buy Guns

in #benswann7 years ago

guns should be kept only by police and the security forces and not ordinary people

Sort:  

They tried that in Germany once.

A lot of developed nations currently have this as law. So whatever happened in Germany, it was an outlier.

In my country teachers don’t have guns. We’ve also never had a mass shooting at a school that I’m aware of....

May I ask what utopian country you are from?

I’m from Australia. It’s not utopia, It’s just normal, like the rest of the world.

Ha ha ha ha!!! THAT was classic. And I'm from the USA. But I gotta tell ya, I think our downfall here is how often we broadcast the shootings. No other country does that. And other countries DO have shootings. But you don't hear about them. So they aren't a thing. It's not publicized. It is quickly dealt with and handled quietly and appropriately. We get such an obsessed craze going on like we need to know it's going on, when we don't NEED to be informed of every incident. As a matter of fact, this feeds the frenzy rather than solving it.

But now they have a required psychiatric exam. In fact, its probably very much in the social fanric that guns are for our fourlegged friemds rather than protection

People who make insurance claims are outliers too; does that mean that nobody should carry insurance?

Well, there is a country that has socialism. Guns are banned for citizens. Only government and criminals have guns and it is a complete shit hole. Venezuela... no thanks.

Why should individual people not own guns?
