so here is the solution to the worlds guns killing people problem,
just stop making them, duhh, if you stop making guns and bullets we will run out of guns and bullets and then the problem will be over.
its just that simple
Wordddd…
3 flaws…1.that will just send people into a buying frenzy to purchase all of the remaining guns and bullets
2. people will still have the guns and bullets they had before you stopped making new ones.
3. every one will just hone their sniping skills to conserve on bullets so they kill with one rather than 20 bullets
infact your plan is really under thought…all you would do is usher in a new age of warfare.
if you outlaw guns, then only outlaws will have guns. and that would be about a bazillion times worse. guns are not bad in any way, only people are.
Solved means that it’s done, that there is no more problem, providing there is a problem to begin with. What you’ve done is nothing more than offer a theory.
Technically it’s a hypothesis. A theory has to be supported by research.
In case you didn’t know, it is quite possible to make a gun on your own, although the kind usually made is not as usable as a professionally manufactured gun. If production of guns was banned, criminals would make them on their own. If they couldn’t get guns, criminals would use knives and clubs again instead of guns, so you wouldn’t really make a difference in crime.
I am most definitely not a fan of your proposed solution. For one, I don’t think that guns are as big a problem as they are made out to be. Sure, people get killed by guns every day, and it would be great to stop that or at the very least, reduce it, but there are also plenty of guns owned and used by responsible people who use them for their own enjoyment. Personally, I enjoy shooting recreationally. I have a possession/acquisition license, which basically says I have the knowledge and the sanity to responsibly own a gun and therefore am legally allowed to buy and own a gun in Canada.
Besides, as already stated, making a gun is easy too, so stopping production of guns is really just wishful thinking; there’s no way you can stop it. It’s like drugs, they may be outlawed, but it sure doesn’t stop them from being produced and distributed.
Here comes the politics, those that don’t like threads involving should get out now.

I also think a gun registry is an absolutely ridiculous idea, it doesn’t solve a thing. The guns being used in crimes are usually black market guns, and most criminals with half a brain know better than to use a registered gun.
In Canada, our last Prime Minister had this “great idea” that handguns should be outlawed altogether, his main reasoning is the recent increase in the gun crime, mostly in the Toronto area. His idea has basically the same flaw. The guns being used in crimes are a)not registered, and b)usually smuggled across the border from the US. Now tell me, how is outlawing handguns going to solve a thing? The government is punishing the majority, who are law abiding, responisible gun owner because of the minority, a few irresponsible gun owners who not only have unregistered, illegal firearms, they also don’t give two sh*ts about the law anyway and aren’t going to change their ways.
While I think a certain amount of control is necessary (I completely agree with the fact that a license is required to buy and own a gun or ammunition), for the most part I think the ideas that our government is coming up with are absolutely ridiculous, although I can appreciate that they are making an effort with regards to this matter.

make the bullets worth $5,000. Duh.
It’s still really really easy to make your own shells. Doesn’t take much time either. I know a few guys who do it.
You are also going to need to erase all knowledge about how to make your own gun powder, how to make your own shells, and how to make your own guns.
It wouldn’t be too difficult for a criminal element (organization) to get together the expertise and equipment necessary to make their own guns and ammo and do a pretty good job of it. It’s just machining and chemistry. It wouldn’t be too hard to do in secret. They already manage to manufacture meth and other various drugs along with managing large pot growing enterprises. Getting a secret machine shop together to build guns would be easy. Same for making ammo.
You can never solve the gun issue;
There will always be sick minded ppl that intend to hurt or kill with guns, always gonna be kids that grab there parents gun that they so irresponsable to leave in an easy reach and the little kid kills him or their friends.
If you take away the guns, ppl will steal, fight, or pay high prices to get them, ammo can be made eaily…
There really isnt a way to end gun problems, ever since the first projectile device was made there was a problem, and if we get rid of every gun and ammo, ppl will just use other methods of harming others, life sucks… lol

the first and formost problem with your plan is that alot of money loving evil men are in controll of gun production and would never stop making or selling them becouse if they did…thats there business right out the window
then a gain you dont have 2 be evil 2 make or sell guns but even then they woulnt want 2 stop it becouse there goes there living
sorry that the plan didnt work out
I think the best way to solve the gun problem isn’t to get rid of guns…it should be to educate people enough so that they do not turn out to be the kind of person who wants to kill others. one way to do that is to be nice to each other. Eric and Dylan of the Columbine massacre did it because the other students made fun of them…
yeah but some people arejustborn sic and want to hurt or kill people
I don’t believe that…I don’t believe in fate. people aren’t born with death and destruction in their mind. its something that is learned.
demands a reason for this thread
he thought he had a solution… he doesnt
oh and i guess ur rigth i believe that every1 is born equal so i take back what i said as its hypocritical
yes, if u take away our guns we wont have them and the terrorists always will have them making the problem 100 times worse than before!
P.S. guns dont kill… the bullets do
