In the video below a writing utensil is used as a weapon, to maim an attacker.



Below a magazine is used as a weapon, and then a TV power cable is used to kill.




Anyone can make a crazy ass argument like the first part of post about the fully automatic M-16.

ALL Guns and weapons should be legal.
The 2nd amendment was to allow all the people to rise up against the Federal Government if needed. If a ban was in-place and the people needed to rise up against the Federal government you would want to have a level playing field.

This clip is sad but guns are not the issue. Quit letting the thugs back on the streets. ( Oh but thugs have rights. ) Make up you mind. Keep thug being bars or keep letting them ou tso the can do more shooting and killing.

well, at least marijuana is still illegal.

Here's the funny thing about criminals... they don't obey the laws and will use guns even if they're illegal.

Here's the funny thing about gun nuts, some of them will eventually snap and kill themselves and their colleagues and family, not necessarily in that order. Oh sorry, that's not really very funny, but it is true.

Moving this video to JesseoftheNorth's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Thats why countries with stricter gun controls are overrun by gun crime.

Americans absolutely need guns because you never know when Britain will come and demand its empire back. Your distrust of government certainly isn't irrational paranoia.

Ok, so admitedly gun crime in the states probably has more to do with poverty and its social problems, but when you throw in automatic weapons into the mix for people to "protect themselves" and all you ever hear about is criminals "protecting themselves" from innocent people...well then something is wrong.

Life is not like GTA 4 where you can just walk into a store and pick up a gun if you're a criminal. It's not like a Hollywood action movie where bad guys are armed to the teeth with sub machine guns, sniper rifles and atomic bombs, and the only thing that'll stop them is Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson taking up arms and shooting the living crap out of them.

There are gun restrictions in my country, where you need to register your weapon and buy ammo through specialized shops who keep track on how much you get. You need to get a hunting license and maintain it in order to legally buy and keep your weapon. You also can't have as many guns as you want, nor whatever kind you want.
Now, this is by no means necessarily the reason why the crime rate is lower here than in the states, because it's such a complicated issue that you can't just point to one single thing as the decisive factor. However, the majority of our lesser crimes (and I can imagine most of the more serious ones) are gun-free. I'm just saying that restrictive gun laws doesn't mean you simply take the weapons from law abiding citizens and hand them over to the mob, serial killers and bank heist rings.
