Why don't they ban guns in the usa?

[Glamour Puss]

Knives are illegal to carry in the UK anyway in public places.

As a law abiding person, how do you feel being told that you can't carry a pocket knife?

Correcting an obvious mistype does little to improve your own grammar

You will be banned again in no time,just like a child you will never learn.

I know that's why I said ban, completely.

The total selling and manufacturing of them etc. Which of course is ridiculous. That would be the only way to stop people in the UK using them. But it wouldn't solve anything.

People will just use makeshift knives instead.

It doesn't bother me as I have no need for one. Unless I work as a trades man then you have a good reason to carry one.

That happens a lot in this country.

Happens more frequently in Mexico, where strangely enough guns are illegal. :thinking1:



I couldn't live in a country where I wasn't allowed to carry a pocket knife.

Happens more between drug gangs, not really the general public. Even though I have to admit that Mexico has 3X the knife deaths than the U.S a country almost 3X the size.

If I understand correctly, people in the U.S do not understand the second ammendment.



The right to bear arms is to protect the country from invaders. Not for your personal protection.

Actually we do understand it correctly. The language of the ********* is not conditional but contextual. It establishes a general right to bear arms regardless of it's intent in doing so. Also Americans were far more concerned about tyrannical governments (both britian's, and a future American government) than invaders.

Cartels have taken over the big cities to the point where quite a few of my friends are afraid to go to Mexico anymore. I go during the day all the time, but won't go bar hopping at night anymore, too dangerous. Last week an old guy got shot 12 times taking his grandson to school.

Gun control seems to work on a small island like the UK/Ireland, but it sure as hell hasn't worked here in certain cities or in Mexico.

Mexico's tourist industry as actually rebounded quite well since the news of allt he violence hit the world. I'm not saying what you say isn't true, there are terrible instances where these types of things happen but there ares till a ton of people going to Acapulco, Cancun for spring break.

I was in Mexico City not to long ago and I didn't feel any less safe than i have ever been. Granted, I don't go out to bars at night in seedy places of the city but there are places that are much nicer that are patrolled and taken very well care of.

The culture of guns doesn't exist in Mexico the way it does in the U.S. Now you might catch a machete to the face...........lol

While we're banning guns, lets go ahead and ban knives, sharp sticks, any kind of blunt instruments, and automobiles. All those things kill people too.....
