Topic: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

In a landmark case the US Supreme Court ruled that cities, States, and the government in general cannot prohibit ownership of guns.

It was strongly on the Constitutional side which did surprise me.

The ruling means the District of Columbia, and other locations attempting Gun Control can no longer try to do so. This is a strong ruling, one which will hold for decades, laughing in the face of gun control efforts.


I applaud the Supreme Court for this just decision!

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

wait, so your police dont have guns either? no, they do. you think there is no better way then shooting each other's head off; you just rather pay people to shoot your heads off and force others to do the same.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Gun freaks.
Why do you want people to get shot down with guns?
Why are you so afraid of eachother that everyone needs a gun? yikes

And no wonder your cops needs guns and use them frequently... they are afraid of getting shot at. I would as well in that country.

we dont want people to get shot down by guns
we arent so afraid of each other that everyone needs a gun.
we think we have the right to protect ourselves, our family, and our property the best way possible, through responsible use of firarms.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

"lol, a more civilized society meaning one where the government has no problem with taking away such freedoms from their citizens."

My initial thought was one where the police are not so incompetent and the people are not so violent that they NEED guns for protection.  Yours works too though.

>>Should I bring up the obligatory "Canadians own more guns then Americans, yet have a significantly lower gun violence crime rate?"<<

Should I bring up the amount of registration and control we have on those guns?  In Canada if you own a gun you are not allowed to have it loaded in your house.  It must be kept in a locked case with the ammunition in a separate locked case in an entirely different room.  That is LAW here, don't ask me how that ever gets enforced I have no idea, but I'm assuming if someone ever broke into your house and you were able to get a shot off they'd be arresting you instead of the guy committing the actual crime.  That's one example of the many, many, regulations and limitations we have on gun ownership.

Should I also bring up the fact that those guns are primarily held by a small portion of the population for HUNTING.  Canadians buy guns to kill animals, Americans buy guns to kill other Americans.  Not saying there aren't Americans who hunt but like in Canada they are a small portion of the population.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

if someone was going to murder me i'd rather it be by a gun than by a knife, or gasonline and torched, or a rock, or blown up in a metro.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

You're wrong on  "Should I also bring up the fact that those guns are primarily held by a small portion of the population for HUNTING." Per Capita, Canadians own more guns then Americans. Which means that based on ratio of population to amount of guns owned, there are a greater number of Canadians who own atleast one firearm compared to Americans who own firearms, thats legally of course. There are no statistics for black market firearms, but if the raids that happened last week were any indication, the GTA police are a helluva lot better at shutting down black market firearms then American.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

There are how many hundred million guns in the United States? And how many gun crimes?

There is how many children who die to guns?

There is how many children who drown in pools?

How many pools are there?

Why is it that pools kill more children per pool than guns do?

Shall we outlaw pools, auto's, candies, and other things which kill children more often per unit than guns do as well?




Why is it that cities that banned guns had a huge spike increase in crimes, especially relating to guns?


Why is it that cities with high ownership of guns have less gun crimes per capita?


Why is it that Europe thinks the United States is entirely alike Europe in all socialogical measures?

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Alch, you may be correct but consider this; my boss, who is an amateur hunter at best, owns 12 rifles.

"Shall we outlaw pools, auto's, candies, and other things which kill children more often per unit than guns do as well?"

Except that pools, cars, and candy are very rarely bought with the intent to use it to kill someone; these are accidental deaths.

Now I oppose banning guns because I understand it won't do anything to solve the problem, but I also realize it couldn't hurt to excercise just the smallest amount of discretion in who is allowed to legally own a gun.  I don't think anyone can argue that doing something as simple as a police background check to see if someone has gone to jail for murder or other violent crimes before allowing them to by a gun.

Banning guns is a bad idea, having no control what so ever on who can buy a gun is also a bad idea.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

I once saw an evil gun jump off the counter, load ammo into its chamber, and shoot the clerk trying to sell it.

Evil Gun !!!

The Knife tried to climb out of the glass display case, but it was tied to the box it came in.

The Baseball bat saw it coming, too.  But, it was to far away in the baseball gear section.

The ropes in the corner were all tangled up, they couldnt save the poor clerk either.

Evil Guns.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Dunno what they said Black_Wing, except some joke about guns. And I agree with DPS (ofc...). Anyone shouldn't be alowed to own a gun. And there should also be far more restrictions on using them. Being alowed to shot a person that walks into your yard isn't really a good thing.

Re: US Supreme Court: Do Not Restrict Guns

Oh yea....they should ban Cars and trucks, too.

SHouldnt be allowed to run someone over at will.


Lets take away all sharp objects......No one should be able to stab someone.

Lets take away all Baseball bats, and Iron rods......No one should be able to bludgeon anyone.



I didnt realize that having the right to own a gun, meant you can shoot peole on your lawn. 
Wow, ..... I missed that part of the Supreme Court ruling.
