Ubiq: Police only need to re-certify once a year. You are not safer with police having guns than someone who is more interested in his own welfare. Please youtube those sad but funny videos showing they can’t shoot for their life!
You do know that in order to obtain a license there are background checks, training with the sheriff department on the laws, and treatment on how to handle a gun. That is only for a sporting license. New York city does not give concealed weapons permits unless you prove that you are a target.
” A healthy breakfast being critical to start the day, the right of the children to eat cereal shall not be infringed”
would this guarantee the right of the children to eat fruity pebbles?
If cereal equates to fruity pebbles, then YES. The same way Arms is equated to guns.
Whoa hold up! Earlier yo u said we cant compare USA to Israel and that if we do it somehow meant we had to have a draft and socialism
and besides I’m not sure where you get your stats from, with the exception of Switzerland all the countries you lsit have far fewer guns, and of course far fewer homicides than the US
Actually, the states came from a research website that listed the countries gun laws versus homicide.
“While Israel has standards for gun ownership, every 18 year old carries one”
This is false.
Sorry-This is true! Have you been there? Regardless of who OWNS the gun, every 18 year old is drafted into the army and handles a gun. So in essence, you have a bunch of 18 year old handling long guns.
“The guns are registered, psychological profiles must be passed and reassesed.”
Regardless who it is registered, you still have 18 year olds handling guns. Their psychological exam is only a 30 minutes to determine your cognitive skills to see how long you can be in combat. The more deeper you are, the better combat unit you can go into. It is not about can they issue you a gun.
” Look yo ucant have it both ways”- same her….either way it is an argument for guns. But Israel does not have a second amendment that guarantees that right, so yes, they can add additional requirements.
“Um yeah, and some scientists are now saying death by suicide is just as dead as homicide”- So you worried about people killing themselves or killing others? If it is themselves, then remove knives, cars, and bridges and people use them to kill themselves too.
Are you serious? I’m happy to explain the difference if you really need it explained. But for the record, d you not see the difference?
per the FBI report in 2016, 374 people were killed in mass shootings, versus 1604 for knives. So why legislate against the weapon of choice versus knives?
“Yep, though some studies are showing that black people are people too. I know I know thats pretty liberal of me.”- Yes, and that is why Chicago has a high homicide rate. So it has nothing to do with the laws, but the people.
“Do I have the right to own grenades? “that is the same gibberish has asking you should own nukes. There are great papers on that.
” Just becasue other people will abuse this priverlage means I shouldnt be allowed to run reds?” I guess that is why people outside NYC is allowed to turn right on red, because people don’t abuse it. So yes!
