Isn't loose gun law in the states just good way for the government have a legal way of ethnic cleansing?

Question

Statistic prove overwise...

During the 1980s and early 1990s, homicide rates surged in cities across the United States. Handgun homicides accounted for nearly all of the overall increase in the homicide rate, from 1985 to 1993, while homicide rates involving other weapons declined during that time frame.The rising trend in homicide rates during the 1980s and early 1990s was most pronounced among youths and Hispanic and African American males in the United States, with the injury and death rates tripling for black males aged 13 through 17 and doubling for black males aged 18 through 24.

Research and statistics have shown that guns intensify crime situations, and increase the likelihood of a more violent or lethal outcome

Between 1987 and 1990, David McDowall found that guns were used in defense during a crime incident 64,615 times annually.[55] This equates to two times out of 1,000 incidents (0.2%) that occurred in this time frame.

GUNS SHOULD BE BANNED IN THE USA...

Answer 1

You can't put the cat back in the bag.  Guns are here.  They're not going away.  One thing that might slow it down is to ban ammunition and require everybody to make their own.  But those who are convinced that if we give up our guns we'll become like Australia, who gave up their guns in 1997, have a valid point.  http://www.haciendapub.com/gunpage2.html  Unfortunately, you won't be able to find a "safe area with low gun crime" in this country.  Do you honestly think criminals will surrender their guns?

As far as ethnic cleansing, as long as some groups in society continue to choose guns as a way to settle arguments, there will be a disproportionate number of them killed.  However, as a strategic policy, it doesn't appear to be working.  A report came out just last week that by the year 2050, whites will no longer be the majority in America.

EDIT:  Painted, you need to look at the link I posted.  Yours gives no supporting statistics and in fact devolves into a discussion about cricket.  Mine gives the real numbers, starting with the fact that the gun buyback program took less than 10% of the guns off the street.

Answer 2

the united states is not nor will never be n**i Germany so get over it

Answer 3

They banned guns in Australia and surprise, their crime rate went down.  Imagine that.  BTW--I don't know anyone, and I mean anyone who has ever stopped a crime with their own gun or stopped drug lords from entering the country.  That is a bunch of Malarky, a rationalization the NRA uses for regular people to own hand guns.

Answer 4

The problem with an outright ban is that you cannot properly police what guns are still out there or would be smuggled in

Answer 5

You premise ignores a lot of basic facts. The first being that you lump criminal offender statistics (i.e. violence perpetrated by criminals who do not obtain there weapons legally with those of law-abiding citizens).  Second you do not make a comparison of violent crime rates in states with concealed carry laws versus those without it. Why the discrepancy? Because these statistics don't support your contentions. Third you do not properly account for why there was a rise in weapons on the streets which led to additional criminal violence, which is the increase in available funds to purchase such weapons due to increase in drug activity and profit level with the rise of crack cocaine to prominence during the same period. Criminals will get guns whether they are banned or not. Your proposals just place law-abiding citizens at greater risk by removing any ability to defend themselves. Law abiding gun owners are not the cause of crime and their ownership of guns does not increase, but rather reduces violent crime overall.

Answer 6

You are devoid of wisdom, but full of rhetoric !

Answer 7

Murder is banned,theft is banned,drugs are banned..

How's all of those bans working  for ya? Oh yeah ..they aren't

Guns aren't the problem and bans only hurt law abiding citizens not criminals.

Answer 8

Unfortunately Bush lifted the bank on many assault weapons.  I expect these numbers are going to start increasing back to their previous levels in a few years unless something is done about it.  

Answer 9

HAHA, go home internet troll.  Are you too much of a wimp or just too dumb to protect your loved ones?  You certainly have no base for those of us that ARE willing to protect those we love.  Oh well, better let you get back to your internet rambling and ranting.  

Answer 10

Ethnic cleansing-  NO!   Just rapist and murderers and all around bad guy cleansing. The police can't protect you all the time. We would have to have 3 policeman for every citizen for that.  Don't become a statistic. Protect yourself.

Answer 11

No. But number of killing in schools is growing. We should thank republicans for that.

Answer 12

You sound just like the n***s sounded.

All hail big government.

Answer 13

Why so people can go grab the kitchen knife and stab someone. Get real there will always be crime and killing with or without guns.. Your taking the Hunters Rights from them.... d**n people get off this gun banning c**p!!! You can say guns are the root of this c**p... So after putting a ban on gun whats the ban going onto next...  You people wont to take every d**n right from this Free Country.. MOVE if ya dont like it!!!!

Answer 14

Thanks for the statistics! Unfortunately, they fall upon deaf ears because Americans have an inexplicable fascination with firearms that defies all logic (such as the facts you state). There's even a school now in Carrol, Texas which allows teachers to carry concealed weapons in the classroom. I personally believe this paranoia and powerful desire to defend oneself with firearms in the U.S. stems from the history there. Cowboys, big bad Sheriffs, and tough guy figures- bad and good alike- have always been very popular icons throughout American history (e.g., Buffalo Bill Cody, Annie Oakley, Jesse James, John Wayne, Chuck Norris, The Rifleman (Chuck Connors), Judge Roy Bean, Bonnie and Clyde, and many others), and this very mentality has carried over into modern times in the U.S. Bank robbers became famous and were even cheered on by the public during the years leading up to and following the depression. I truly believe that the U.S. is the violent country it is today precisely because of its history of violence and its strong preference for conflict resolution by means of firearms. This will never change- it is as much a staple of the American mindset and way of life as wheat beer and Bratwurst are of the German way of life.
