Well gun control is a good thing here...look around ...walk around NYC..ALL over NYC..take the trains in the morning, evening, and late nights, weekends. Now imagine everyone you see with a fully loaded weapon. Scary.
I swear to god you must literally be made out of straw. There are times that I think you're playing a character on here.
The one thing I will give him is that he can correctly formulate a paragraph. And I am very proud of him for that. But that is about where it stops though in my opinion.
I don't like proposals like this. When you take away small liberties from people why stop there? It invites intruding on citizens even more. How anyone can possibly tolerate this, let alone like it is beyond me.
It's a slippery slope to banning. It's the way gun control is here, try to put so many restricts that you don't even care anymore. Outright bans would lead to people complaining, but if you slowly chip away then most won't even notice or care.
Take the freedom salami analogy for example.....
An employee working in a butcher shop decides that he wants to take an entire salami for himself without paying for it. He reasons to himself that he cannot just pick up the whole salami and carry it out of the shop with him, the boss would surely notice and he would be fired. So, he decides that each day, he will cut off only a slice or two of the salami and take it with him. The boss is far less likely to notice and even if he does, it is doubtful that he would care all that much over one piece of the meat being taken. After just a little while, he WILL have taken the entire salami right out from under the bosses nose.
In this analogy, the employee represents the Government, the salami represents our rights as citizens, and WE are the boss who is being robbed of a salami without even realizing it.

The city would be a safer place indeed. Who exactly do you think that gun control limits? It limits law abiding citizens thats who. The criminals continue to have guns illegaly despite the laws, and only the people who follow the laws to begin with are the ones being "controlled" by gun control.
WhipperSnapper don't bother, there have been 41 pages of logic provided for them and they still don't get it. They do say ignorance is bliss!
Yet most of everyone in here agrees that the ban is a bad idea simply because it is pointless.
