[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 224714, member: 9491"] I am sorry you feel that way about firearms, but think about what you just said. "An 11 year old kid just took a bullet here the other day from a gun that was smuggled from the good ole USA." If your country has a ban on these weapons, then why did this happen in your country? What does it matter where the gun came from? Your country has the ban, yet this kid is now gone. That makes no sense. Obviuosly someone in your country did not follow the law. That is my point. Banning guns does not solve the problem. Not dealing with the people who break the laws is the problem. We have an old saying here in the USA. "If you make owning a gun a criminal act, then only criminals will own guns." Think about it. Only the law abiding citizens would obey the law. Criminals are not going to give up their weapons, because there is a law to not have a weapon. As a matter of fact, statistics show that in the USA, cities that have gun bans have much higher crime rates than cities with out gun bans. If I was a criminal, I certainly would rather rob orkill someone that I know does not have a weapon in the home or car. Our problem is the fact that we do not carry out the laws and sentences that we already have. We do not need new laws, we need to enforce the ones have. I grew up in a home that had firearms, and I new exactly where they were lcated. My father taught me that a firearm is a tool, just like a power saw. I was shown how to safely use both tools and was told to never touch them, with out his permission. I listened to him and never had a problem. I did have respect and a little fear of what would happen if I did not follow his instructions, but I was more afraid of disapointing him if I did not follow his instructions. Sure, I did not follow all of his instructions on everything, but I did know that a firearm, just as a power aw could hurt me and even kill me, therefor I did not touch them. Guns are not bad things. I loaded gun sitting on the table never killed anyone. An idiot who picks up the gun is who killed someone. Bottom line is the fact that a kid in your country lost his life, because someone broke your country's law. :) [/QUOTE]
