If I remember correctly, the BATFE mandates that stolen or missing property must be reported withing 48 hours. Those "missing" or "stolen" firearms are typically recovered within two years during an arrest.

I just felt that saying that the regulation would also be in place before somebody mentions a firearm dealer just not reporting stolen firearms. Ignorance as to the location of a stolen firearm doesn't strip you of any responsibility for it.

EDIT: That, and you didn't mention it. Somebody was bound to notice that flaw in the suggested system.

The statistics still show that your nations specific system doesn't result in low crime rates. It's not 'intellectual fraud' or whatever you want to call it, that article is a pile of shit. Statistics still show the result of your nations politics, it can't lie.

I'm just pissed that you don't think it's possible(or want to?) gradually remove guns by improving the social structure of your nation, you got a huge lower class population (from which a majority of crime stems from) and it's shown by statistics that by improving in that area you can lower crimes by alot.

And if you do that you could create more restrictions on guns without a increase in crime as a result. Which should reduce the amount of guns in circulation, and the accepted idea of casual gun ownership can gradually disapear each generation that goes by.

I just think the united states population are ignorant to what works in other nations, and refuses to believe it can work for you. I believe this is a social issue and the gun "culture" you have is only something that has made it even worse.

Marklar, you don't have a Ph.D. As such, if you intend to tell me that an article written by a doctor is a "pile of shit," I except you to have the courtesy to point out why.

He followed every basic rule of what you do when conducting research. Sorry bud, but you're the one that's wrong here.

No it's gun control AND politics, poverty, lack of social programs and education.

i'm just trying to argue that it's good to try to remove guns, mayson just fucking dodges this arguement every fucking time.

And i'm trying to argue that both sides are right to a degree, except that mayson is a fucking extremist piece of shit even if he has pointed out certain things that are true

I haven't dodged that argument once. I've been responding to it almost every single time I post.

If you create a law that bans guns, law-abiding citizens will comply. Criminals, by definition, will not.

It's not difficult to understand that a criminal, who is a person who does not comply with laws, will not follow a new law. That's what makes them a criminal in the first place.

It is not realistic to advocate non-violence in a world rampant with violence, whether said violence be committed with a gun, knife, or any object or tool not originally designed to be a weapon.

exactly so to remove guns you should improve the social issues first, then start to harshen gun laws gradually with time to remove them?

yes?

Completely incorrect. Their patterns of behavior are often quite logical. Their patterns of behavior just act outside of, in defiance of, and in spite of applicable laws, thus defining them as "criminals."

The subject of psychosis is irrelevant.

i'm pretty sure that if people have guns when there aint much crime, the chance of them doing bad is higher than doing good.. just a guess

If you actually believe that gun control is on par with those issues you need a reality check.

Guns have nothing to do with it. It's the society in which they exist that is the problem.

If me and you sit and have a civilized conversation sitting in 2 chairs on opposite sides of a table and that table has a gun on it, are we thus more likely to act violently towards one another? Does the mere presence of a gun rid us of our civility, morals and courtesy? Does the presence of the gun fundamentally change who we are?

Or will our present beliefs dictate the actions we take and the importance of which that gun being on the table plays? Is it not our upbringing and the world around us that melds who we are and what we do? Are we not beings of free thought? Am I somehow incapable of knowing that killing is wrong now that the gun is present?

I really don't think so. I pity anybody who does.

EDIT: And while you may argue not everybody is going to be as rational as I, that is why there would be programs and such in place. Steps taken as to weed out the irrational and irresponsible for the civilians that are able to obtain licenses in order to own and operate firearm. Nobody is saying EVERYBODY should be able to own a gun. We are saying that those who are able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are responsible human beings who understand that a gun is used for recreational use, self defense and defense of those whose lives are in danger should be allowed to have them.
