The Tsarnaev brothers didn't have gun licenses

I don't think gun violence in the united states can be talked about without addressing the fact that 50% of all the gun homicides in this country are committed by African Americans who constitute only 13% of the population.

Obviously America is unique in its racial and ethnic composition. It is not fair to compare America to Japan or western Europe. This applies to the education rankings as well.

I don't think gun violence is simply an artifact of loose gun laws. There are all kinds of other factors that people refuse to address or even bother considering.

what are the factors that arent being considered? What exactly are you trying to advance here?

No I'm glad I had that hard time. That is enuf. We don't need to go overboard and lose focus on the true causes of gun violence.

Dawg there are still felons and fugitives selling guns on the internet. It wouldn't take much "focus" to close such loopholes. We could do it while addressing the main issues

You don't need a license to own/possess a gun......

Q: Does the GCA prohibit anyone from making a handgun, shotgun or rifle?

With certain exceptions a firearm may be made by a non-licensee provided it is not for sale and the maker is not prohibited from possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semi-automatic rifle or non-sporting shotgun from imported parts. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and approval by ATF. An application to make a machine gun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for a Federal or State agency.

I support arming responsible citizens

 

[daze23]

it will be interesting to see the history of the weapons they had. but until then, I'd rather not assume much

 

[88m3]

Exactly......Even in places where Guns are absolutely illegal and just having one will get you locked up the criminals still are better armed than the Cops

Gun control usually means disarming future victims...never criminals or cops

Isn't that the point?


Gun control means preventing future victims.

No, let's jump to conclusions without any merit or factual basis.

 

[Higher Tech]

Sure...so shouldn't there perhaps be more legal mechanisms that could limit the proliferation of weapons on the black market?

It's already illegal. What do you think would work?

 

[Mr. Somebody]

U think Chicago and Detroit would be better off w/less gun restrictions

Yes. Right to carry concealed would be a good start. Alot of innocent people who are trying to protect themselves while they are out and about are going to prison.
