| Topic | If we ban guns, how will people protect their family and property? |
| Dark_Spiret 10/04/17 1:32:53 PM #162 | if guns were all magically gone with a gun ban then yes, obviously gun deaths would go away, but thats not the world we live in. guns are a thing and banning them does not really fix the issue. there would still be a substantial amount of ways to get them especially in a country as big as the US. thats another factor in comparison to the rest of the world of which most countrys who do have high gun regulations are either 1/5-1/10th the size of the US and their populations are a fraction as well so its easier to enforce their laws. other countrys were also not brought up on firearms like the US of which the US has had firearms in its history since the very beginning so you actually have less guns to work with in other countrys making a ban substantially easier to enforce. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |
| Topic | If we ban guns, how will people protect their family and property? |
| Dark_Spiret 10/04/17 1:18:27 PM #152 | AlternativeFAQS posted... So you're admitting that gun control worksthat depends on what you consider to be working. would it technically cut down on gun deaths? yes. would it be to a substantial degree? no. suicides wouldnt go down much. a suicidal person isnt magically going to forget about their problems when there isnt a gun around and suicides account for 2/3rds of gun deaths. criminal activity with firearms would only be cut down to a moderate degree since criminals dont give a shit anyway and there would already be a gun issue with them being imported from mexico and south america or being flat out made in someone garage (and thats all assuming we magically got rid of the 300+ million guns already in the US and do you think criminals are just going to hand those over?). statistically its also proven that with a gun ban other forms of crime tend to rise. more home invasions, cases of rape, assault ect. people more willing to take advantage of you knowing they wont get a gun shoved in their face. other forms of murder also statistically go up. there is also something to be said about the US' unique cultural clashes which either arnt there in other countrys or is on a MUCH smaller scale. not having guns isnt going to fix that which along with the health, poverty, drug and gang issues which are substantially more important since they are factors in someone actually picking up a gun and using it unlawfully. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |
| Topic | If we ban guns, how will people protect their family and property? |
| Dark_Spiret 10/04/17 12:58:07 PM #134 | i dont know how it is in the UK, but theres a lot of cases of home invasions here ending up in murder and rape and many instances of more than one criminal individual. chances are most will end in nothing, but it comes down to if are willing to take that chance including making that choice for your family. the criminal element in the states is quite a bit different than it is in most other first world countrys. as far needing multiple firearms id say you only really need 1 for home defense, but there is a case for having several. one for personal defense while your out and about which would be a smaller handgun which is going to limit your capability in a home defense situation. a larger semi-auto handgun with a high capacity for actual home defense, a third handgun most likely a revolver as backup since revolvers rarely jam, but you also dont have a normal semi-auto handguns capacity so its a compromise with the others. you can even have a 4th handgun like a .22 to help train on. 1-2 good shotguns, one with a shorter barrel to help with actual home defense and another with a longer barrel for hunting. you can have one and change out the barrels though, but dedicated firearms of that type tend to be more reliable. shotguns and handguns are another compromise since handguns are better wielded in close quarters, but dont have the power of a shotgun and rounds tend to go through walls more often where as you can load different shotgun shells that wouldnt pass through a ton of walls and have higher collateral damage, but at the same time you also sacrificing easier movement and a lower ammo capacity. then a good rifle for long distance hunting and bringing down bigger game like deer. a shotgun could also do this, but you are also limited in options and range. id personally also throw in a .22 rifle for added training and small game hunting especially when .22 ammo is as cheap as it is. lastly would be some type of battle rifle like an AR or AK and this is where things get hazy. technically you dont need this, but this can also serve as a hunting rifle and as a home defense weapon since .223 rounds can be made to tumble through walls for less chance of unforeseen problems, you have the capacity and they arnt overly lengthy so better maneuverability than a shotgun. they can be an all in one. and if on the 1 in 500million chance that youd actually have to overtake the government or fight an invading force youl have a fairly modern weapon option. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |

| Topic | Better gun control will obviously stop many mass shootings |
| Dark_Spiret 10/04/17 12:02:44 PM #122 | the number of firearms is a rather moot point considering he did what he did with only a small handful of them and apparently he had no prior issues with a clean record which would mean he could still legally have them by any rational reason he could give and no one would second guess it since from everything presented hes a normal law abiding citizen. they also found bomb parts in his car and in his home. if he didnt pick up a gun he could have very easily drove into that crowd of people and detonated. probably would have killed far more people too. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |
| Topic | Why can't the U.S. just ban guns to the general public? |
| Dark_Spiret 10/04/17 11:42:14 AM #23 | 1. its in the constitution 2. its like putting a band aid on an open wound. getting rid of guns would cut down on gun deaths obviously, but it wont fix the elements that make people pick up a gun in the first place. fix the underlying problem and for the most part youll fix gun violence (and a lot of other violence) without infringing on peoples rights. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |
| Topic | Bump fire stocks demonstrated. |
| Dark_Spiret 10/04/17 2:39:56 AM #14 | Banana_Cyanide posted... There is no full auto involved. You just described it yourself so stop calling full auto. Also Dark_Spiret is right a bump stock will kill your accuracy. In fact full auto in general kills accuracy and is not worth it most of the time.this is true, but bumpfire stocks are even worse in this regard since they recoil harder and jitter the whole rifle in ways that real fully auto weapons dont since all of the movement and stress is on the bolt carrier group for real full autos instead of the stock(for the most part) and handle like bumpfire stocks do. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |

Most people talk big, but in reality would be far to apathetic to form a group and rally against their government.most people wouldn't do anything, but you dont need most to start a revolution nor to keep going. if only 1% of gun owners stood up thats potentially a million strong insurgency. thats a million car bombs, hit and runs, assassinations. the list goes on and no matter how much firepower you have or the tech or man power at your disposable its exceptionally difficult to fight an enemy thats mixed in with the general populace. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |

| Dark_Spiret 10/02/17 2:49:26 PM #54 | something else i dont think many anti gun people realize is that its guns that are keeping our way of life and where we are today in the world spectrum. guns ensure freedom and liberty whether you like it or not and make for a big "dont fuck with me" sign. otherwise you risk going down a very slippery slope of what the government defines you should or shouldnt do "for your own good" which is already happening to many countrys.

| Dark_Spiret 10/02/17 2:37:35 PM #40 | banning guns would be like putting a band aid on an open wound. theres a lot more other issues at play which a lot of those other countrys dont deal with or atleast to nowhere near the same level especially at the US' population level. it would stifle it, but it wouldn't *fix* anything. you want to cut down on gun violence? give people more emotional help and support including health care (you dont necessarily have to hand it to them, but atleast make it easier to get). help with the poverty levels in many areas. make gun safety and training mandatory. cut down on gang and drug violence (this is a big one, statistically over half of all gun related crime is related to those two elements). those could be some examples and starting points without trying to kill the constitution. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |

| Topic | Taking away people's rights won't stop mass killings |
| Dark_Spiret 10/02/17 12:25:39 PM #14 | at this point, it wouldn't work. theres just too many guns in the country already and its too easy to run them up from mexico and south america or modify them your self. guns are too much of a staple in the world in general, especially in the americas. this type of mass shooting is also very rare both in context to how many people die by rifles each year and how many people statistically defend themselves from a bad guy with a gun who more often then not doesnt care about laws or regulations and will get the firearm anyway given how many are out there. this situation isnt like Australia or the UK. even if you did flat out ban guns it wouldnt be easy to collect them and chances are youd have even more deaths on your hands given this countrys affiliation and upbringing with them. now thats not to say you cant do anything. theres definitely things that can be done without taking anything away. the big one is making sure the person buying it isnt a nut case. thats not fool proof given how someone can change over the course of their lives, but it is something. and in general just making people be aware of how dangerous they are and how to safely handle them. a safety course could be mandatory for any firearm purchase for instance. awesome999 posted...

| Dark_Spiret 09/27/17 11:23:29 AM #38 | those are some seriously superficial reasons as to why you think its better. 6 is a mess of game design at almost every section and i say this as someone who actually LIKED the game. if the annoying spazzing camera doesnt piss you off the cumbersome and atrociously convoluted inventory will. or the enemies who wont register damage until they feel like it or tripping over bodies or respawning enemies or getting shot on your back every 10minutes or tutorials that dont teach you shit or awfully designed gampelay sequences or boss fights that give you no choice but to get hit or insta death sequences and just a whole host of shit tat just keeps going. and i strongly disagree with better arsenal of weapons. youre pretty much forced in the same 4-5 guns per character which are all standard fair with no meaningful upgrades or switching. they were dull and doesnt come anywhere near what 5 put out which you could upgrade in meaningful ways, could have each character use what they want and came with exclusive features to each gun. id also not call 6's serious story as a positive in the same way 5's wasnt. the presentation is too good to fall into camp and it makes everything thats happening hard to care about or get into. --- Currently playing: Forza Horizon 3 - Dead Rising - Hitman |
