Why Guns Must Be Banned Now!

Post Reply New Topic

The US will never ban guns because its society is too ammosexual. Everything else has been heavily sexualized, so why not guns?The guns' shape, their appearance, the way they fire bullets. It's all really Freudian. To ban guns is to ban humans with delusional, testosterone-ravaged brains.

Fewer guns, fewer problems. Of course, other issues need to be appropriately addressed as well.

Gun accidents are problematic. Banning guns isn’t solely about eliminating violent crimes although it would probably help.

“492 people unintentionally die by gun in an average year.

Thus far in 2022, there have been unintentional shootings by over 21 children, resulting in 9 deaths and 13 injuries.

Accidental gun deaths occur mainly to those under 25 years old. So far in 2022, 209 children (age 0-17) have died by gunshot and an additional 519 were injured. Adolescents are particularly susceptible to accidental shootings due to specific behavioral characteristics associated with adolescence, such as impulsivity, feelings of invincibility, and curiosity about firearms.

In 2021 there were at least 377 unintentional shootings by children. This resulted in 154 deaths and 242 injuries in the United States.

In 2021, unintentional shooting deaths accounted for over 4% (2,007) of total gun related deaths (44,912) in the United States.

Shelter in place orders during the coronavirus pandemic have led to major spikes in accidental shootings at home by children. Unintentional shooting deaths by children increased by nearly one-third comparing incidents in March to December of 2020 to the same months of 2019.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there were 3,906 additional firearm deaths and 9,278 additional firearm injuries in 2020 compared to 2019.

70% of unintentional shootings by children occur in the home.

From 2006-2016, almost 6,885 people in the U.S. died from unintentional shootings. In 2016 alone, there were 495 incidents of accidental firearm deaths.

The majority of people killed in firearm accidents are under age 24, and most of these young people are being shot by someone else, usually someone their own age. The shooter is typically a friend or family member, often an older brother. By contrast, older adults are at a far lower risk of accidental firearm death, and most often are shooting themselves.

A statistically significant association exists between gun availability and the rates of unintentional firearm deaths, homicides, and suicides.

In the United States, over 4.6 million American children live in homes with at least 1 unloaded, unlocked gun, setting the scene for possible tragedy if firearms are not locked and stored properly.
As gun sales in the US spiked by 70% in March 2020 when compared to March 2019, accidental shooting deaths by minors spiked by 43%.

Around 31 percent of accidental deaths caused by firearms might be prevented with child-proof safety locks and loaded chamber indicators.

A study from 2014 showed that victims of unintentional shootings were three times more likely to live in a household with a firearm.

A 2001 study found that regardless of age, people are nine times more likely to die from unintentional firearm injuries when they live in states with more guns, relative to states with fewer guns.”

Would anyone want a Second Prohibition to happen in the US if guns are taken away?

I certainly don't, but this doesn't mean I support less strict gun control laws.

Trying to connect guns with alcohol and cars is misguided.

Cars and alcohol are created for a specific function that is non-lethal.
Guns are created to kill.

So, what do people think about the "Black Operations" that are responsible for some of these mass shootings?

Because taking guns away is cheaper (free) than placing armed guards in schools... And the US has way better ways to spend our tax payer dollars: wars, abortions, sex reassignment for prisoners, and armed protection for our politicians. All funded in part by taxes made off of gun sales.

And please don't act like an armed guard would be any different than the armed resource officers that are already a presence in our schools. Ours makes an appearance before class starts everyday.
