Sold out movie theater... 1 12 gauge round would take out 2-3 people a shot, also panicked civilians don't try to overwhelm the attacker. They run or pretend to be dead like they should be for being incompetent and complacent

Amend the constitution of the united states, to make it no longer legal to own firearms. Since I know there
are like a gazillion gun nuts out there I will make a quick FAQ here, so I don't have to keep posting.

Gun nut FAQ:

1. It's my constitutional right to bears arms.

This is true. But it's also true that the constitution is a living document and can be amended. For instance slavery
was abolished by an amendment to the constitution.

2. If people can't bear arms then only the criminals will have firearms.

There are roughly 300 or so cases each year in the united states of self defense resulting in death that are ruled
"justifiable". The chances of you owning a gun and using that gun in self defense and it being ruled "justified" is
almost none.

3. If I don't have a gun then someone can break into my house and I can't defend myself.

Generally speaking people don't break into your house when your home. Contrary to popular belief occupied home
invasions are extremely rare. Since people break into your house when your not home that nice new shiny hand cannon
you bought is stolen and is now used to further crime not prevent it.

4. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

No actually guns kill people.

5. If citizens are not armed then the government can take over!

Lets see, Tanks, Air Force, Professional Army, Cruise Missles, Predator Drones, etc etc versus Small Arms.

Crime in the UK has fallen for the past 2 decades. So long as you dont live in the poor parts of london, Birmingham or Manchester you should be ok.

Oh and all of Glasgow, they beat up terrorists on fire with fire extingishers.

I think that you're missing the point here.

Why owe a gun?

Self defense.

Self defense from what threat?

Any.

But, what's the most common threat around?

People who owe firearms.

But, what people?

ANY people. Everyone can owe a firearm and you never know who you're gonna meet.

So the reason why you need a weapon it's the American like you, who owe firearms because American like you owe guns.

Oh, you may say, "but, i am NOT a threat!" But then in your own words, "you don't know who will greet ya". And you are everybody else's "who will greet me?". So you are armed because of their arms, and they are armed because of your arms.

So all in all, American arm themselves because of armed American. And the more American arm themselves, the more American will have to worry about all those armed out there, thus they will keep arming themselves.

Oh wow the movie is ace.

I will go see it tomorrow, but first a trip to the surplus store for a kevlar vest

I don't think the theater would appreciate the making of a bunker

The whole point being that weapons for self defense trigger the need to defend from weapons just flew over your head, right?

I would just like to see how many are owning a gun because they want to shoot someone.

Here's another tip as per why people arm themselves around these parts. Lets start with a little history:

"Pigs were first introduced in the 1500GÇÖs to what is now the southeastern U.S. by Spanish Explorer, Hernando DeSoto. In the centuries following European exploration and colonization of the eastern U.S., free-range livestock management practices and escapes from enclosures resulted in the establishment of wild pig populations and promoted their spread" ~ Linky

- There's no set hunting season on pigs in Florida. You can hunt them all year round.
- Pigs are an invasive species and we want to get rid of them.

Give it some time. It was already stated that your country has a huge drug trafficking problem. And from your comments it seems you guys don't have a problem with it. Well, let me tell you what's gonna happen in the future if you don't fix that issue right now:

1) Traffickers will get greedy and start taking down other traffickers to get a bigger piece of the pie for themselves.

2) They soon realize that the trafficker with most guns usually wins.

3) They'll also realize that the same smuggling apparatus use to smuggle drugs, could very well be used to smuggle guns.

4) Those in the trafficker's payroll learn that guns are an excellent crime tool.

5) Ex traffickers looking for alternative methods of income, start using the guns to rob people.

6) Law abiding citizens who have no guns become prey.

If you don't believe it you can check the crime stats of every country that has a drug trafficking problem. Even the US some 50 years ago, was a lot more peaceful that it is now. Ask somebody from Colombia, or Mexico, or Puerto Rico... same story over and over again.

If you take guns away from law abiding citizens is the US, you gonna disarm the victims-to-be. You won't disarm the criminals. The only thing keeping criminals from busting trough these nice glass windows of mine is the possibility that I might be packing. It's called deterrence. And it works very well.

But I don't have to keep my examples to home-security. We could use something else like, border crossing between nations. Imagine you were forced to cross a border and you are given 2 choices. You could even cross from Mexico to US, or you could try crossing from Cuba to Guantanamo. Which one would you choose and why?

As i said, here's not the USA, and armed assaults and armed burglary rarely involves firearmrs unless the victim is an armed criminal.

No, what i mean is that in most cases criminals only grab firearms when they plan to assault other criminals.

FACT: most (and it's a large most) firearm assaults are from criminals assaulting other criminals
FACT: most (and it's a large most) armed assaults do not imply firearms, rather other kinds of weapons

FACT: most firearm murders are criminals shooting other criminals
FACT: most murders do not imply firearms

Now ask yourself why in the USA it's exaclty the opposite.
