anonymous polls are worthlessI have already posted one thread in regards to the mass shootings, trying to bring together ideas on the most effective way to slow gun related violence and try to eliminate these mass shootings.
This poll is more black and white because I am simply wondering would you be in favor of more gun control if it had the potential to reduce violence.

First you'd have to convince me that gun control actually has the potential to reduce violence in the USA. I do not believe this is the case. There is no evidence that any existing gun control legislation has had any siginficant impact on violent crime.

we could infringe on other rights that would be far more effective in decreasing crime
1) get rid of innocent until proven guilty-lots of criminals beat the rap because the state cannot prove its case BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT
2) get rid of the fourth amendment-warrent-we don't need no stinking warrant
3) no Miranda-if the mope confesses he's guilty
4) no lawyers provided for the defendants. -that will make convictions easier
5) racial profiling is permitted
if you want to ruin the constitution, why not do stuff that will actually decrease crime
Heck- if we really want to get rid of the violence, we can just
get rid of all the crazy people.

I pretty much agree with this. The problem isn't guns. The problem is mental illness.
I agree. At least Illinois has mental illness as part of its grounds for denial such as the rule is and it does get reported. If we combined that type database with the criminal background check nationally it would be great progress toward stopping some of this stuff. It certainly would have prevented VA Tech.

Again: Requiring gun owners to be members (in good standing) of militias, e.g. State Militias, should be necessary.
The only kind of gun-control which had a chance of making a difference in either of the recent shootings, is a requirement to store your guns in a rated safe.Yes. I respect the right to own guns, and i own several but i do believe our control needs to be a little bit more strict.

Other than that, no form of gun-control is relevant to recent events.
I have some very good news for you, then:Again: Requiring gun owners to be members (in good standing) of militias, e.g. State Militias, should be necessary.
USC › Title 10 › Subtitle A › Part I › Chapter 13 › § 311
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
Here we had to link to this law yeat again. We have to keep repeating ourselves, so rather than write it out manually over and over and over, a lot of us just save it to a word doc.Do you have to spam the same post in every single topic about guns?
I want my OBAMA'SAFE!!!I want a "(Gun) Safe Stimulus Package" :mrgreen:
I want my OBAMA'SAFE!!!
In what way? That's kind of the problem with 'gun control'...people offer the notion but cant identify substance and when the fallacies surface they retreat to "well...we just need more gun control". Hell...we could eliminate drunk driving if we disabled every car in America.Yes. I respect the right to own guns, and i own several but i do believe our control needs to be a little bit more strict.
