Just like the great success that prohibition was? Travis_0004 Jun 2016 #21

Gun control works in other countries. See below Gomez163 Jun 2016 #24

It works great in Chicago Travis_0004 Jun 2016 #26

Don't change the subject. Country by Country. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #28

So gun control works. Except when it doesn't. Travis_0004 Jun 2016 #29

Gun control has never been tried here like in other countries. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #31

different cultures for one Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #33

That doesn't explain the wide disparity. Nor is it something to tolerate. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #35

I am curious on how the study was done and Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #37

Not really. CT banned Assault Weapons, but the Lanza AR-15 was compliant aikoaiko Jun 2016 #39

Except that we have no gun control Orrex Jun 2016 #18

Yes those thousands of existing laws Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #23

Because people like you water them down. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #41

not really Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #46

I'm for what works. I'm for adopting what has worked in other countries. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #47

So what gun control laws Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #4

The one proposed in 2013 for starters. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #6

I have nothing against UBC Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #13

And he had an AR-15 Gomez163 Jun 2016 #14

Yes, a standard civilian model Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #17

If it can kill 50 and injure another 53 its too dangerous to be on the street. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #19

At least be consistent Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #25

Give me what Japan and the Uk have Gomez163 Jun 2016 #40

how do you confiscate the 300+ million weapons Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #48

Voluntary gun buyback. Then confiscate the stragglers after a deadline. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #49

so you would pay full market value for all weapons? Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #52

I dont know how to price it. Smarter people than me can do that. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #53

You would have to do that to be legal Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #55

So..it isn't really voluntary. It's really confiscation. Nancyswidower Jun 2016 #54

Great ideas until legalities get involved Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #56

I was getting a meat ball sub. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #58
