I think one could argue that this falls under the "well-regulated" part.

Opinion: The Great Imbalance

[littlethingwithfeathers]

Here is my issue with the gun control debate. Whenever I say I want stricter regulations on firearms, I'm immediately asked for specifics, like I'm some kind of expert, and then I'm quizzed. What's an assault rifle? What counts as a military rifle? How many rounds can a standard clip hold? Full disclosure: I don't know these things. I'm not a gun expert nor a gun owner. I know nothing about them other than they're powerful, dangerous in the wrong hands, and complicated. And that they can be modified to be made more dangerous.

You know what else is powerful, dangerous in the wrong hands, and complicated? And can be modified to be made more dangerous?

Motor vehicles.

And yet when I say, hey... we probably should have strict rules about what's street legal in this country! No one is quizzing me or anyone about engine power and torque and tire pressure.

So that tells me that it isn't really about being anti-regulation. It's about something else. And I can't discuss with people who keep derailing arguments to try and discredit my opinion based on how much I know about assault rifles or hollow point ammunition. I know as much about guns as I do about cars. One I'm allowed to have an opinion about and the other I'm not. And that's crap.

Please keep it civil. I don’t want to have to eat anyone.

A Comparison of Gun Regulation

by Sebastian Fearn

According to statistics reported by GunPolicy.org, the United States has about 270,000,000 guns, which is a total of about 88.8% of the nation’s population. If you compare the amount of firearms in a population, the United States and other countries such as France are quite similar. France is ranked twelfth in the number of guns owned by any civilian population. However, countries such as France have tighter regulations regarding who they give guns to. In the last year, there were 35 homicides by firearm in France. If someone were to account for the whole population, this would be .06 people per 100,000 in the population. In the United States, there are 9,146 homicides by firearm. This is a total of 2.97 people per 100,000, meaning you are nearly fifty times more likely to be murdered by firearm in the United States than France.

My main argument isn't about making guns illegal, it is about the regulations placed on their distribution. In other countries besides the United States, there are so many tests and background checks you have to fulfill. For example, the European Council Directive of June 18, 1991, regulates the possession of semiautomatic weapons and handguns based on a system of license, which can be obtained after a thorough background check (Trans-Atlantic Magazine). In some countries in Europe, you can only have two shots in a pump-action gun, or a semi-automatic. These are just some of the policies that the United States could put into effect to reduce the amount of crime that involves the use of firearms.
