#62 live gunman kills reporter then himself in Off Topic
ComangliaShooshComangliaI'd just like to point out that you guy's argument is completely pointless. You guys are talking about regulations on guns that are obtained legally, or removing them entirely. Which doesn't matter cause the VAST majority of gun crime in the US is done with guns obtained on the black market, or just flat out stolen.

Furthermore, outlawing firearms even of certain kinds in the USA is impossible to truly enforce. With guns so pervasive both in quantity and in the culture here. It would take decades to get even close to cutting the number of people with guns in half.

Getting a gun even illegally is probably considerably easier in the US compared to other developed countries. Why? Because there's simply more fucking guns there. Why? Because they're legal. I'm not a politician and I live in the UK so I'm not arguing the fact that we need to ban guns now. That's not to say I don't care about what's happened, I do.

I'd also like to point out that the US is a democratic-republic and with 80ish% of the populace owning guns how many of them do you think are willing to just give up their weapons? That if a law to ban guns or say ban all non-hunting guns were to be passed would be met by a majority populace against the law, a constitutional amendment that's already been interpreted as being meant for everyone not just militia's, and a shit ton of special interest money.

The only thing law makers in the US can really do is ban assault rifles, and maybe require that every gun purchase has to be through a licensed dealer and have a background check done (which is already true in several states)

All that being said, I wish I lived in a country like S. Korea or Japan that has basically no guns in the country.

Did you even read what I typed? "I'm not a politician and I live in the UK so I'm not arguing the fact that we need to ban guns now" :s

SchweppesMy point with the comparison to the UK was that you're ignoring the fact that the UK is solitary, while the US borders on what other people here like to refer as "third world shitholes". It's here where's there's more gun crimes and those cartels.

My point still stands.

Compare the US with any other country on that list that has banned guns in their country. It's still the same result. You cannot deny the fact that there's a correlation between a country having legalised guns and increase in gun homicides or homicides altogether for that matter and countries who havent legalised guns and their homicide rates (with and without guns.)

Read the stats for yourself. There are countries there who are bordered to other countries or are even more bordered compared to the US and still have lower gun homicide rates. Why? Because they have banned guns.

Theres literally a perk/ability called glitch that can teleport you back to where you were 5 seconds ago. Tell me thats not a broken, fucked up and stupid mechanic. It can be used when your being shot at, so to some guy hes shooting you, you use this and you teleport away, maybe even behind him. How are you supposed to counter that.

Schweppes Stuff

Are you seriously comparing the US, a developed country, to places and countries like El Salvador and Jamaica? I compared it to the uk because they are both more economically developed countries. Your comparing salt and steel, im comparing steel and steel, if you would.

http://www.humanosphere.org/science/2014/03/visualizing-gun-deaths-comparing-the-u-s-to-rest-of-the-world/

Look at the firearm homicide rates from the us compared to other high income countries.

And yes people do kill people, not guns. But when you give someone something that can kill people easily it gets to a point where its ridiculous. Think of a US without guns, if would be much harder for people who want to kill others to do so right? They'd have to use knifes or other means of committing homicide. But your giving people a weapon that can fire at 100's if not thousands of feet per second. What chance does that give innocent people of surviving and what chance does it give the assaulter of actually succeeding and becoming a murderer.

"If someone in the mental state really wants to have gun he will somehow get the gun or somehow kill the victim another way." And how easy is it to get a gun in the US compared to getting a gun in the uk? A lot. My proof? My first source, the guardian. Average number of gun per person in England and Wales, 6.6, avergae number of guns per person in the United states, 88.8.

"gun ownership isn't the problem though"

http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/jul/22/gun-homicides-ownership-world-list

Compare the UK with the US. Dont give me the bullshit that owning guns isn't the problem.

#17 Black Ops 3 Beta in Other Games
omnificShooshModern warfare, Call of Duty 4, and World at War were by far the best
Cod4 and Modern warfare are the same game and to be fair WaW was just a world war 2 reskin of cod4. However, I'm not gonna deny that both games are insane fun and the best in the series

i meant mw2

#9 Black Ops 3 Beta in Other Games
deetr Titanfall and Advanced Warfare were pretty good imo. As much as I loved the old CoDs, they got boring after a few thousand hours. There isn't really much they can innovate aside from movement, they've been innovating on killstreaks, weapons, and perks for 7 years and there's not much more to do from there.

Titanfall and advanced warfare dropped off in terms of player count towards the end, the games just died. And after a few thousand hours? Thats a lot of fucking time to be playing a game, by the time youve spent that amount of time in one theres another one out. Either way cod doesnt have the skill ceiling or the right map design to be innovating on movement mechanics.

Seen it, hate it. How do they not realise that the old cod's were the better ones. Modern warfare, Call of Duty 4 and World at War are by far the best Call of Duty's and they don't have or need these bullshit mechanics like running of walls or boost. Theres a reason Brink, Titanfall and advanced warfare fucking sucked.
