I spent the day sorting through and re-reading a few thousand e-mails from 2010, and it was really a blast from the past. What a year it was.
Thanks for an awesome 9 years, and for some great e-mails along the way.

As always, I read all of my e-mail and can be reached with questions/comments/concerns/hate mail/and plain ol' hellos at moot@4chan.org (or on AIM at MOOTCHAT).

So how's 'bout those guns? Everyone's either pro-gun control or pro-mental help. It doesn't seem like anyone is supporting both ideas. I don't think it'll cut down on gang violence, but mass-shootings and killings like the ones you see on those crappy shows on A&M could be prevented easily.
Pro-gun people argue that taking away guns would only leave law abiding citizens defenseless, but the laws are supposed to make it so if you follow the law and are of legal age, you'll probably get a gun. The laws are trying to make it harder for bad guys to get them. Pro-gun people also argue that these laws won't really make much of a difference, bad guys will still get guns. This is probably has truth to it, especially when regarding gangs. But giving everyone guns is not the way to combat other guns. The problem needs to be cut at the root.
Of course people on the more liberal side of spectrum argue that gun control will cut gun violence way down. It won't. People will still get guns and people will still die. This is America. If we wanted no gun violence, the founding fathers could have outlawed them from the start like Japan has, and Japan has practically no violence. Of course, it's too late for that. And in truth, we've needed guns in the past before. Getting rid of them and putting hard restrictions won't keep them out of the hands of bad guys who are part of cartels or gangs. That's just the way it is.

Now the whole issue lies with gang violence. You'll find that it's the main killer out of all gun related deaths. No one really tries to fix the gang violence though, do they? It seems like an impossible task. Gangs aren't going to be fixed with more arrests or cops busting down doors. It's pretty easy to find a kid who's willing to join a gang when the other guy gets sent off to prison. I think education is the key, as well as infrastructure and the local economy. Getting kids educated so that they understand that joining these groups isn't cool or fun is key. A healthy local economy also allows for businesses to hire more people, hopefully getting kids off the streets so they can make money legally and give back to the community by spending that money on the local businesses or paying taxes. Good roads, bridges, and a cleaner city attracts businesses and people, also boosting the economy. The cities need to be clean up, and it would/will take a while. There's no easy solution to gun violence. It's almost an impossible job. I'm just suggesting starting at the roots, rather than cutting off the leaves and hoping they won't grow back.

It seems like everyone's talking about guns, so there's my two cents.

I'm for both, as a center-leaning democrat.
...But I also see that what really needs to change for guns has to do with private ownership. Lanza, for instance, got his guns because his mother owned them. There was no law to keep him from getting them, and you really can't restrict it without fucking with other freedoms.
Columbine was done with guns that were legally bought from private owners. You cant' stop it.
Stricter gun control needs to come in the form of restricting the ammunition and mental-health programs, then actually following through with all of the shit we have, right now.

I'm just saying that the ideas put forward by politicians, left and right, are going to primarily fight against mass shootings.

Shooting sprees are a statistic anomaly which gets over hyped by the media. There were two major cases last year and maybe another 150 deaths in public shootings of between 2-5 deaths. This is a tiny fraction of the total gun related violence which occurs primarily in impoverish, urban areas.

The proposed solutions would probably aid in reducing these incidents, but at the cost of individual freedom. However, guns can and are used commonly for self defense in home invasion, burglaries, or muggings which outweighs the cons (in my opinion).

In addition, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that removing guns would reduce crime rates (which have been going down for almost 30 years). On top of that there is the fact that confiscating the vast majority of guns in the US would be a nigh impossible task costing billions and infringing on a number of other rights such as privacy.

Taking away guns isn't going to solve anything, like I said in my original post.

>>10474122
And how do we go about that? If we stop busting down doors for drugs, gang on gang violence will stay the same or even increase, seeing as how more gang members would be on the streets. It all leads back to gangs, which leads back to the cities that harbor them, which leads me to the conclusion that cities need to be stopped to end most, if not all, problems.

>Thousands of people die a year due to gun violence, that's a big deal.
It is a very minor issue. In a country the size of the US this is insignificant. Although our murder rate is higher than some other first world nations it is still an incredibly rare way to die. Considering that the US is based on immigrants with wide variety of cultures it is not a surprise that these figures are higher than the homogeneous nations of Europe.

Does this mean you can sweep it under the rug though? Not really, but if the number of crimes committed each year continues to fall, I don't see a need to tinker.

>reducing the need to have guns, rather than taking them away
Many people buy guns when they feel they are in danger, like moving to a violent neighborhood or hearing about increased robberies in their area. Increases in crime tend to result in increases in gun purchases, not the other way around.

Also, many people buy guns for hobby and sport. Discouraging a harmless hobby that gets people outdoors would do very little to stem homicides. I think the fact that people are experienced with their use and consider them tools makes society safer, than thinking they are some difficult machine that needs extensive training.

Reducing the need to have them would mean getting rid of crime, then the gun ownership would drop.

Buying a gun needs to come with a reason for ownership and a license for shooting guns specifically at ranges. Of course, if that already exists, I don't think any changes should be made.
>>
>>10473544

Didn't really work in Portugal when they legalized drugs because their is still money to be made from shipping drugs with no import tariffs or oversite. And their drug consumption increased.

I disagree with this. Why should a person be limited on where they can take their guns? If a person is acting in a responsible and non aggressive manner there is no reason to limit the locations they can carry.

And why would someone need a license for a gun? It would simply be a way of showing the government has done a background check on you and cataloged you in a filing system. There is no guarantee you are more or less competent than anyone else with firearms. And what happens if a person decided they want to kill someone. Do you think that restrictions on where they can bring the gun with be part of their considerations?

You've got some major cognitive dissonance going on there, buddy.

It's really not. The vast majority are criminals being killed by criminals, most of them in places with strict gun control. Take out the criminals and the US makes Europe look like a bunch of psychotic barbarians.

>Like I said before, I think the solution is reducing the need to have guns, rather than taking them away.

Wishful thinking. There will always be crime. There will always be robbery, rape, murder.

If anything, you should be encouraging people to carry guns, to defend themselves from the predators who will always exist.

For me, it just lengthens the process which, in the time it takes for a person to get a gun, could discourage them from committing a crime. If someone later decides to kill someone, there's nothing that can be done. The gun violence issue is so complicated there's never going to be a good solution.

We allowed guns from the very beginning, the culture is already here. Japan banned guns (except shotguns and pellet guns) in its constitution, and it has almost no gun violence. That'll never happen in America though, and isn't always the case with other countries. Like I said, complicated.

Exactly what did I say that was shit? I mean, I realize that making the process longer might not due shit, and that it's a shitty solution, but it doesn't hurt, and any law abiding citizen shouldn't have a problem. Shitty solution to a shitty problem.

I also said that the U.S. isn't ever going to be like the U.S., and that in other countries where gun violence is low have gun laws exactly the opposite of Japan. I used Japan as an example that gun bans have worked before, I never presented it as a solution. I presented ending gang violence as a solution.
>>
>>10475003
It won't work, but it doesn't hurt to have it there in some cases. There's an exception to every rule, gun control is filled with them.

I haven't really seen any other suggestions for getting rid of gangs other than getting rid of the war on drugs, which I agree with. I just don't think it's the final solution.
>>
>>10474865
>it just lengthens the process which, in the time it takes for a person to get a gun, could discourage them from committing a crime
This is generally known as the "cooling off" period which is the idea behind waiting periods. I don't believe crimes are prevented because of these laws as the process to research, buy, and learn how to use a firearm for a first timer would be sufficient to go beyond the range of a crime of passion. After a few hours to a day I would consider the crime premeditated.

>We allowed guns from the very beginning, the culture is already here
Very true. There is a taming the frontier mentality about the US and the population.

>Japan banned guns (except shotguns and pellet guns) in its constitution, and it has almost no gun violence
Japan is a very interesting and complex country that is difficult to compare to the US. First it has a very communal culture, promoting the group first, rather than the individual like in the US. Second it is very homogenous so there are drastically fewer major disputes between cultures. Third, gun violence isn't reported as gun violence unless a perpetrator is found so the numbers are skewed to be lower. Unsolved cases are reported as something separate in statistics which makes determining the actual death total difficult. Also Japan has very well organized mob families, unlike the US's gangs , that help keep gun exports out.

But it does hurt. You even admit it's an irrational law when you say it won't achieve anything. It may just seem as a minor inconvenience to lawful gun owners, but it's more than that. It's a precedent that says, "we will enact irrational laws against gun owners because they might stop some crime, with no data or reason to support this theory."

When you give gun controllers an inch, they take a mile. If you allow them to start passing irrational laws, they'll just want more irrational laws, under the same irrational theories -- "they might stop crime... somewhere, somehow."

Next thing you know we have irrational assault weapon bans, irrational gun-purchases-per-month limitations, irrational ammunition restrictions, and on and on it goes.

Why should we let the camel's nose through the tent? To give you peace of mind?

If you want peace of mind, get a gun.

I live in a shitty ghetto. There are ZERO gun stores within all of metro Los Angeles. The state contends for the strictest gun laws in the country.

I hate the idea of my fucked up ghetto neighbors freely owning guns without government oversight, but guess what. They already do.

And instead of devoting dollars to fighting crime, or making a better economy, or building stronger familes, or a stronger culture, or more effective ways of resolving disputes, I guarantee California will attempt to enact a bunch of idiotic laws made by people who either don't understand or don't give a fuck.

You notice the anti gun fags aren't even pretending that "they're not coming for your guns". Now they're talking about ammo licences, or psych checks, or insurance or a bunch of other shit that will waste money, and not work.

>but the laws are supposed to make it so if you follow the law and are of legal age, you'll probably get a gun. The laws are trying to make it harder for bad guys to get them
But that's completely wrong. The proposed laws want to ban sales of "assault weapons" regardless of whether they are by those who follow the law or not (criminal gun sales will of course be unaffected) and are aimed at restricting long guns (the type least commonly used in crime as opposed to pistols)
Not to mention the proposed "assault weapon" ban will affect ALL guns with detachable magazines (pretty much half of guns designed after 1940) if they have one other "military characteristic".

Stop speaking on things you know nothing about. When compared to hollywood's version, sure. But they're still very effective even without using subsonic ammo.

Well, I should have said, I don;t think they would do much for larger calibers. If you can prove me wrong, I'm fine with that, and I learned something. I do know that they do reduce the shockwave, so you won't go deaf. I'm not saying we should have the ban though, just that I can live with it.

Or the man, for that matter.

Yes.

A .308 has about a 1/3rd less recoil than a 12 gauge, depending on load etc...

Rifles are far easier to handle without a lot of training. Especially compared to a handgun.

That's what I was saying, dingus. But apparently an 11lb rifle is just far too much for a poor, weak, defenseless woman to handle.

I disagree. It depends on the situation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Drega
>>
>>10477493
Again, so long as you're not having to worry about overpenetration (which the .223/5.56 is ideal for since it fragments on drywall) the difference is genuinely fuckall. It kicks a tiny bit more and it does considerably more damage, both will put people down, both are fine choices.
>>
>>10477571
For home defense! This is the point of the conversations goddamn you people.
>>
>>10477697

If you can handle the recoil, .30 cal wins.

If not, nothing wrong with .223.

Hell, I'm fine with .22 if you're competent with it.
>>
>>10477629
Look if you have a rifle you like and feel comfortable with it then that is probably the best choice for you in an emergency.

If you were to recommend a firearm for a new buyer (especially a woman) for home defense very few people would recommend a semi-auto chambered in .308.

They are larger and as a result more difficult to control for people with low upper body strength (women). In a self defense situation you may fail to stop the aggressor (miss) so the faster you can realign your sights and fire again the better.

Most people in those situations don't have experience and are acting under increased adrenaline and other symptom of high stress. Limiting your survivability because "hurr durr im manly for having a big gun" is moronic.

It's less about strength and more about form. Any woman or smaller man for that matter who handles a weapon as it should be handled is more than capable of being competent with it.

Let me go back and restate my claim. M1s and M1As are not a good first choice for women in self defense situations.

Showing a clip of a women using a shotgun at a range doesn't make it a better choice than an AR for the average woman. You simply took my misinformation about the weight of the saiga loaded to apparently "disprove" my argument that those rifles the best choice for home defense.

I never said they were terrible choices, I said there were better ones.

It's pretty obvious that police and gun free zones have not worked. Only a complete imbecile would think more gun free zones would help or that police can prevent them from happening yet there is no evidence to prove such statements. Doing more of the same and expecting different results, yes they do indeed have mental disorders.
