1 Do you own a handgun? (Y/N) YES, a walther p22.
A) If yes, do you regularly carry it with you? (Y/N) NO, I do not have a conceal carry permit.
2 Do you personally know anyone who owns a handgun? (Y/N) YES, my roommate for starters. My father, grandfather, older brother, and neighbor all own handguns.
A) If yes, do they regularly carry it with them? (Y/N/Dont Know) NO. To my knowledge, none of them carry.
3 Are you familiar with your state's Gun Control Laws? (Y/N) YES. I'm familar(ish) with them. I probably wouldn't ace a quiz on the subject but I wouldn't fail it.
4 The current waiting period to purchase a handgun in Florida is 3 days:
A) Is this a suitable period of time? (Y/N) YES, anything longer than 3 days would also be acceptable.
5 Have you ever been in a situation where you wish you had a hand gun on you? (Y/N) YES, at the gun range. It tends to get boring without one (For a less jackassy answer, NO. I've never been in a situation where I would want a handgun for my protection.)
6 Rate your political affiliation on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being very liberal and 5 being very conservative (1-5) 3, I vote republican usually but socially I tend to be liberal.
7 Should trigger locks (mechanism that prohibits a trigger from being pulled without first removing the device with a key) be required on all hand guns stored in a home? (Y/N) NO, it should be at the owners disgression.
8 Overall, do you support strict gun control laws? (Y/N) Nope
9 If you were being victimized outside your home, would you prefer to have a gun on you? (Y/N) YES, if I was being victimized I would prefer a handgun. Only becuase I punch like a girl. I could probably talk my way out of most heated situations. "HEY BUDDY YOU'RE ABOUT 5 SECONDS AWAY FROM KICKING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF ME! CAN YOU HANDLE THAT!?!"
10 What is your Major? Aerospace Engineering
11 What is your race? (W/B/H/A/Other) W

Once Euph collects all the data he needs for his class, I think this would be a good place to actually discuss gun control.
Personally, I do not own a gun of any kind. However, it makes very little sense to have a system where it is very easy for a criminal to have access to firearms where law-abiding citizens cannot. This includes hand guns.
In fact, it has been proven time and time again that areas with STRICT gun control laws actually have HIGHER rates of violent crime then areas with laxer gun control laws.
I am also amazed at the number of people that answered 'yes' to question #7. The point of owning a hand gun for self defence is so you have the ability to use it should the need arise.
If you don't want it to fire, don't pull the trigger (or, rather, don't put your finger on the trigger to begin with). If there are kids around, lock the gun in a safe, or keep it on you in a good holster. This is entirely the gun owner's responsibility.
For the record, I am entirely for gun control on certain issues, ie. keeping them away from violent criminals, bans on fully automatic assault rifles/machine guns, and probably others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

I totally agree that strict gun control laws only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals have easy access to guns and laws don't affect this. It hasn't so far...here or any other country.
I have guns and kids. My guns are all locked in a gun safe. If the trigger lock law was in effect (in my state) I would have to have a trigger lock on them also. silly.
Bans on fully automatic rifles affect nothing. It doesn't diminish crime because criminals don't use automatic weapons. For the record, when you hear on the news that so-and-so used a 45 automatic...that is not an automatic weapon. It is a semi-auto just like ALL hand guns are. Unless you consider an uzzy (sp) a hand gun. All automatic weapons are illegal to own or use unless you have a license for one.
Again, the biggest reason to not inact laws about these guns is that they are NOT used in violent crimes. Violent criminals by and large use your standard hand gun. Likely available for $50 on up from a criminal in the street. Laws do not affect their availability to criminals.
Texas is a very low crime state. Why? Because more people per capita own and carry guns than any other state. Carrying does reduce crime.

there's a big difference between discussion, even heated discussion (which hasn't happened and hopefully won't), and flaming

I was just thinking that!
Btw, just checked some stats: in 2005, 11,000 or so Americans were killed with guns; 78 Brits were killed by guns. I think the US homicide rate is about 3 times higher than the UK rate; taking this into account, along with a 5x greater population, guns kill* almost 10 times as many people per capita in the US than in the UK.
We have gun control in the UK.
*this number refers to homicide; it doesn't include accidental death or suicide, both of which are substantial figures.

Guns don't kill people.
Americans do.
I'm with Bill Hicks, all those gun-deaths in the UK were by American tourists

This argument is often brought up. The thing is, its comparing apples to oranges. UK doesn't have less violent crime because of gun control, it has less because it is the UK. America has always been a violent country. Think of the old west. I am just saying that you can't compare the two countrys. They are different.

You also have to consider the amount of firearms in the united states... OVER 200 MILLION. While we would all love to live in a dream world where that isn't true, the reality of the situation is that it is, and it makes no sense to have a system where it's very easy for criminals to obtain weapons where law-abiding citizens cannot.
I've actually never heard of a logical rebuttal to this.

Murder rates in the US are 3 times as high per capita than in the UK; gun homicide rates are 30 times higher per capita.
(though we're catching up - there are 3 times as many gun deaths now than there were 10 years ago. Go Britain!)

Not you. Who shoots a 22?
Kidding. Actually, im probably going to pick up a walther 22. great gun for the price. 22s just dont have the stopping power I want if I'm carrying concealed but it'd be fun at the range.
In fact there was a story on fark about a highschool kid who was shot in the back with a 22 and didnt know it - thought he got hit with a rock or something. Certainly didnt knock him down or kill him.
Granted, you can fire 8 rounds in like less than 2 seconds, which might do a little better, but it increases your chances of misses and therefore accidental hits exponentially.

Yah, its purely a target shooting gun. If I was going to own to carry I would look into a glock or walther p99.
The gun I really want is a kimber 1911

I actually went to a gun shop the other day and was holding some of them, and I really liked the feel of the G17 (same gun as G22 only in 9mm), but the G19 was a bit small in my hand and didn't feel quite as good. I take it you like the .40?
