Kids with a handgun

[Delldude]

Here's some crazy stuff. Kids in a standoff with police brandishing an automatic. Parents?

Damn.

 

[TheInfiniteSadness]

It's obvious who's fault this is. It's the parents. They obviously didn't teach these kids that guns aren't a toy and didn't store it where those kids couldn't get it

No, it's government's fault that doesn't defend its citizens so that guns are seen as the only way to protect themselves.
Fewer guns = Fewer shootings
No guns = No shootings

But I agree that the parents ought to be spanked!

The left always like to blame the firearm rather than the individual holding it.
The blame in this case falls squarely on the parents. The father is incarcerated (thus a crappy role model) and the mother doesn't want them (a poor excuse for a mother). These kids will just get worse as they get older because of lousy parenting.
I was around firearms and learned to handle firearms when I was 8 years old, joined the military and have several firearms of my own. The difference, good parental role models. Unfortunately, anyone can be a parent, no matter what they are like.
Most of the gun crime occurs in black neighborhoods, with gangs and black on black on crime. People like Candace Owens say it's because the fathers aren't in the kid's life. It really wouldn't change the negative culture if the fathers are themselves drug dealers, gang bangers, home invaders, thieves, et cetera.
As for gun ownership in general, there are approximately 82,000,000+ people in America that own firearms and the people committing crimes with them are less than one percent and most of them had the guns illegally in the first place, usually using stolen firearms from lawful individual's homes or cars.
Last 60% of deaths by firearms were suicides. Even if you took their firearm away, it wouldn't change their goal. They would simply hang themselves, slice their wrists, take pills, electrocute themselves, jump off a bridge or other high structure, take their car and ram into something at high speed, et cetera.

I'm not left but I stand by my words:
Fewer guns = Fewer shootings
No guns = No shootings

If you blame the individuals holding it then that in itself is the strongest proof that guns should be banned in the US.

I was around firearms and learned to handle firearms ..., joined the military and have several firearms of my own.

I am a Vietnam veteran and I hate guns. The meat market has everything I need.

The difference, good parental role models. Unfortunately, anyone can be a parent,.

In the US unfortunately anyone can own a gun.

I bought my first handgun (High-Standard Hombre 9-shot .22) when I was 13.

Man, that thing served me well for years on the river and trapline.

You've got me beat. I was fourteen before I bought my first revolver, a H&R nine shot .22. I literally wore it out practicing.

What do you want to argue/debate? Your people claim, "Anyone can become the president" and you believe it. But here you sit in front of your computer disagreeing that anyone can own a gun. Is it your belief that all (or most) gun-related deaths have been perpetrated by spit balls through a straw ... but the law falsifies the instrument of death as "a gun" just to shuck & jive the statistics?

I am willing to bet that I can go to the US and get a gun within a week. How much can you afford to lose on that bet?

Why should all guns be banned because a few people are irresponsible with them? What else should be banned because a few people are responsible?

Did I say, "All guns should be banned"? Can you show me where I said that? I said that guns should be banned in the US.

What else should be banned because a few people are responsible?

I am sure you meant to say 'irresponsible'. Anyway, I'll forgive you and answer your question. The answer to your question about "what else should be banned because of the irresponsible is :

1). Children should be banned from purchasing cigarettes.

2). Children should be banned from purchasing alcohol.

3). Children should be banned from operating a motor vehicle.

4). Adults should be banned from committing incestuous relationships.

5). Adults should be banned from sexual conduct with children.

6). People should be banned from operating a motor vehicle without a license.

7). Drivers should be banned from exceeding the posted speed limit.



I can think of many, many more but you don't really want me to list them all, do you?
