Outside Of The Game

[TRaven]

There are also various other ways of handling crooks. Like discussing (little chance of succes), scaring them (making noise scares burglars away already in most cases), using or threatening with a 'lighter'  weapon like a baseball bat or a knife.
These are all pretty effective if the crook himself doesnt have a gun. In Europe the chance of a normal crook having a gun is a lot smaller then in the US. If the crook indeed has a gun, ok, he won this round but when he walks around with guns he will get arrested way faster then other crooks. If he doesnt you dont need to have a gun either.
So the permission to have guns increases the dangers in the society more then it protects you. As crooks in the US most likely have guns you as a normal citizen will feel the need to have a gun yourself for 'defence' but the danger of having a gun in your home is way higher then its effectiveness against crooks.
How often do you run into a crook? Alright, it depends in what neighbourhood you live, but you rarely meet them. You have guns all the time and having a gun in your house makes the border for using it way lower. So if you your brain isnt functioning a full 100% and you just had a fight you might get the gun and shoot everyone else. And also think of kids that might run into a gun when they are searching the house.

Now I would like to see some real reasons for having a gun

\/ Kinda proves my case

Wow . . . what kind of perfect world do you live in? You've been playing GTA too much if you think people (and criminals) with guns walk around with them in their hand making the cops say "oh snap! arrest this man/woman/child/organism!" Here in the States we have a lot of hard asses roaming around (land of the free and jackasses, y'know) that think they're the shit until they are looking at someone's holstered subcompact .45. Now you speak as if owning a gun will guarantee that some retard (not referring to the story about the retarded kid . . .) is gonna shoot himself or some random people. Please, for the love of dear God, get away from mainstream media. Any one story will get played over, and over, and every statistic will come out, making people wiht little to no self awareness believe that the world is a shithole and it's because people own guns.

I could give you a shit ton of reasons why gun ownership is good and important (yes, important) but you'd just ignore it, because Fox news didnt say it (or any other mainstream media outlet).

I have a friend who's friend was "retarded" ( I mean like, handicapped). They lived in america. His dad had a gun. He was depressed about having a retarded son so he shot him. Dead.

Thats what having a gun can cause. SUCKS!

ok, ok, i'll be the first (and maybe only) one to say it . . . . PWNT! HEADSHOT!

pahaha

C'mon, we ALL profit from people's death, look at the game we play! murder simulation. To say otherwise is foolish and blasphemy against the greatness of the game! i'm just the only sick sunovabitch to have the balls to publicly crack a joke, but you (the general public) know you cracked a smile when you read that story. Some of you even chuckled at my reply. other's sobbed in a dark corner because they love teh drama.

Harsh.

But I can't deny the fact I chuckled. I feel it's not that bad, as it's a fictional story.

Hmmz.

<stupidness>

I have a very large and long gun, which has a range of about 10 meters - its bullets are goo-based, and are white. Most of the time, I hit the target bang on.

Please do.

And I am not saying that ALL people will do it, but as more people have guns the number of non-intended incidents also increases drastically so in my opinion its just better to ban them, solves more problems then the allowance of guns will.

[TRaven]

Please do.

-theft control/prevention
-rape control/prevention (of course, I'm preaching to the wrong crowd here )
-killin' that sum bitch before he kills me
-pest control
-Hunting
-fishing this one's a joke.
-when the new world order comes and they attempt to disarm the general population (already happening, they can even make you disarm yourself, look at this very topic for evidence)

Soooo many scenarios can occur where you would be happy to have a gun.
