University of Colorado Concealed Carry Ban Ruled Unconstitutional

this. if anything it would make him less reliable on the topic because his response will always be drivin by emotion rather than rational thought.
 
Who's to say that any person who wants to do harm can't obtain a gun in less that 12 hours regardless of the law.

It doesn't make a difference.
 
I took my gun to school, to work , to the beach.. Drove past schools , children at play etc Through the center of LA, across my small hometown. Had no desire to shoot anyone the whoel time believe it or not. Guns arent scary, they are metal and powder.. Idiots with guns are scary.
 
If only they had done this at Virginia Tech a few years ago, its reasonable to say it would have gone down differently, less in favor of the phyco who killed all those people
 
show me your "proof".

definitely not "proof" for the contrary, but still worth a look, comparison of gun related deaths and weapon laws:

i cant see an OBVIOUS correlation in the direction you implied, if any at all. of those states which restrict carrying guns the least, only SD has a somewhat low gun-related-death-rate. most very restrictive states also have high GRD-rates. in general, it looks pretty "random".

 
TBH I don't see anything wrong with this. If you guys go around shouting about making guns illegal and then whining about internet censorship because of constitutional rights, you're a hypocrite.
 
there are too many factors that come in to play to just look at gun laws for a state and relate them to deaths. for a state with more relaxed gun laws, how many deaths are in self defense? one state or part of that state could have more of a gang problem than others, or more crime in general than others, etc.. ill find the other thread when i have time..
 
i think that is for everyone, no one hopes they ever have to use they're weapon on another human in self defense.

if you have a ccw you have gone through a basic training course that has made sure you are knowledgable in how the gun works and how to use it. most people that have a concealed carry permit arent new to using firearms either. I do not have my permit but it is definitly something i plan on getting, I have been brought up around firearms my whole life and is something that I dont see why people are intimidated by them. I do nor plan on carrying it on my person at all times as that is just stupid in my location. however i do see it useful when i go riding, and keeping it in my vehicle since there are some crazy people on the roads.

these threads always turn into shit storms.
 
agreed. But only a small small incredibly small % of gun owners are gonna do somethin with them and are far outweighed by people who would happily put holes in them to stop em.
 
thats your point and thats ok. i just dont think that our society should rely on them to act like the police. its the governments job to provide safety and i understand that the US are "build" differently, but still, some things should not be in our daily lives.

thats my point and i hope thats ok. i know from a bazillion earlier discussions that noone will ever change his mind or take a serious look at the counterparty's "facts". but just as a reminder, the pro-weapon side seems to rely more on ancient rights, tradition and evoking emotions than logical and humanistic facts. thats obviously a blatant generalization, but its my impression.
 
I agree that we will never agree.... wtf. How is the government going to stop some whako from shooting a bunch of big titted college chicks in there econ class if he wants too? There not gonna stop him.The dudes int he class packing heat are gonna not let him get to far are they. If you trust your government to do ANYTHING you have lost before the game even started.
 
i totally understand where you are coming from. seriously. i might even admit that i agree with some aspects of your opinion. thats not a bad thing. thats what discussions are for. people always forget that its not necessarily the goal that everyone has the same opinion afterwards.

i think that the government has to set the tone if you will. establish an environment with so little violence that the overwhelming majority of people doesnt feel like owning a gun.

 
That would be nice! But guns are for fun too, not just shootin people so that will never happen but i understand.
 
Heres two threads on the topic, with a bunch of statistics from woozy and others there's a ton of info in these threads and the more you read up on the statistics in these threads and elsewhere, the more and more it makes sense that more guns = less crime. common sense really explains just as much.https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/547882/page/1/

Or you draw your sick conceded carry permit, the kids who are holding your friend freak the fuck out cause they just got a gun pulled on them causing them to stab your friend and making you shot him. Sick outcome bro.

I honestly would be willing to bet if someone did a study, people who actually carried got in more trouble than people who didn't. And by trouble I mean having a situation escalate to something more simply because they had a gun, not actually causing the problem, just escalating it.
 
i have that feeling as well. not that it happens very often, but i would expect that some people die in minor situations going down the shitter because someone drew a gun.

hard to observe, probably even impossible
 
also, what if said crazy fucker is in class, gets pissed off at you starts a fight and gets your gun now the school is being unsafe for anyone who doesnt have there permit and is unable to defend themselves. If you wanna be safe in school put in a fuckin metal detector.
 
Do you think you could get a firearm off a cops belt? What if you didnt even know he had one on his belt= concealed. what if what if what if.
 
ok times the number of deaths by 10 then u still have 8000deaths to account for not dumb post. yea probably could get a gun off of a cops belt. If you have a concealed weapon someones going to hear about it its school someones facebooks status would be like oo just got my concealed weapons license, someone will be talking about it at school people will find out. Just saying guns are retarted another reason why I'm so damn lucky to live in Canada greatest country in the world :)
 
So your pistol will defend you against a shotty or rifle?..... I've been robbed at gunpoint 3 times in my life now, and I'm glad each and every time I didn't have a gun on me.
 
i dont have any statistics, im just going off what i was told in my concealed carry class, and the statistics they had showed that using a concealed carry resolved the situation more often than without. either way more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens = less crime.
 
how many of those deaths are from CCW holders or from legally acquired firearms? how many are gang related? the US has so many more fucked up high crime rate areas than canada, canada has nowhere near the drug crimes we do. to say that canada has a smaller percentage of deaths compared to the US so guns = more crime is just stupid. there are way too many factors to consider.over 50% of gun related deaths in the US are suicide, so right there over 50% of gun related deaths have nothing to do with murder or use on another person.

people like you are why im so damn luck to live in the US where we have the freedom to defend ourselves and have the ability to have power over criminals. i would never want to live somewhere where the laws gave criminals more power than law abiding citizens..

 
yes. you shoot the guy before he shoots you and there ya go, you just defended yourself. and you know whats great about concealed carry? if for some reason you would be better off not pulling a gun, you dont have to!!! it allows you the ability to be responsible and use common sense. crazy i know...
 
concealed weapons are not the issue.

if you take the trouble to get your fucking concealed weapons licence, i'd bet money you are a law-abiding citizen who plans no ill will. the issue (or so it seems to me) is the ready availability of guns. no kid planning on shooting up the school, will go get a fucking LICENCE. he will go buy a gun (very easily accessible in the US) and do his shit.

the problem is ease of access, not certification.

also:

why is nobody worried about where the wackos are coming from? before 2002, these school shootings that everyone is using as reason for carrying a gun did not even exist. now, suddenly it's taken as fact that they will continue, and we should all carry weapons to prevent it.

where did these nutters come from? why is nobody worried about this shit?
 
obviously the people teaching the concealed weapons class will show you stats in favour of concealed weapons.

where do you get this guns in the hands of law abiding citizens = less crime from?
 
fuck, sorry for triple post, but

this stat is useless without accounting for population differences. the us has about 10 times more people than canada.

per capita, canada seems to have it worse than the us.

and i'm against guns... i think. both sides putting out good arguments. thanks for keeping it civil.
 
I'd marry woozy if i could, guys the res. ns genius, how many people die in auto accidents each year, should we make cars illegal? I just cant understand how people are anti-gun...one of the main reasons ive been holding off moving to NYC
 
logical fallacy

weapons are build to shoot people. and since that cop-thread we know not to wound, but to kill.

cars are not build to kill people. and i am pretty sure that more money goes into making cars safer than making guns safer

ohoho i am so liberal, woop di fucking doo. i also hug whales and trees A LOT.

x

 
so wait, let me get this right...

25% of public shooting are stopped by citizens with guns, so you're saying that we should take the guns away from the citizens who stopped the shootings? So then the shooters aren't stopped, and kill more people? Why wouldn't we be making an effort to give more law abiding citizens guns, to stop more shootings? Why do you think mass shootings often happen at schools? Because they are an area where there is a dense population of UNARMED people.

 
Well I know how to safely use a firearm and would never just whip it out for no reason...

so let me say this.. you are a dumb ass and if they day ever came where you were in the same classroom as me and some guy went nuts and started shooting people up(this has happened at numerous high school and colleges throughout the US) I would let him shoot you in the face first and then I would shoot him with the gun I had in my back pack.

sucks for you bro.
 
Dude this is so stupid. Like okay so cool 25% of public shootings are stopped by citizens with guns but what does that mean. I am sorry but having a bunch of "law-abiding" citizens carrying concealed guns just because maybe they can stop a school shooting is bad idea. Honestly, I don't even see how it could help having a bunch of kids carrying guns in school in order to prevent school shootings... Like all that is gonna happen is a bunch of untrained kids are going to end up having a gun fight in the middle of a school, and prob getting more innocent people hurt for no reason at all.
 
i dunnnnnoooo brroooooooo but im pretty sure the country with the lowest crime rate lets you legally own automatic weapons.

you reallly gonna try and rob someone/shoot at/kill/whatever real illegal shit you can do to someone when you know they might have an AK waiting for you??

like lets say you are a robber, would you go into my house(the guy with the fully auto AK) or my neighbors house(the dude that doesnt believe in guns)?

simple answer.
