Why Americans think that gun control is nonsense?

I certainly believe not.Gun control helps to reduce the crime rates associated with firearms.It’s common sense.Civilian cannot own a firearm unless if the individual him/herself has a very(i mean VERY) solid reason to why they need guns such as a farmers or shepperds to avoid wild animals from ruining their crops or killing their livestocks.They gonna need special license and training according to the type of firearm they want to used.This is how the system works down here in Malaysia.Only a police officer,military personnel on duty,security guard and a some other few government law enforcement agency are allowed how have guns while on duty.They cannot bring back the gun home after they finnish their shift.They must be kept it in a special safety locker.The gun law here is pretty tight actually and the logic that applies here is that any civillian that owns a gun without a license is also a full-time criminals.robbers,drug dealers,smugglers,kidnapers etc.So what do you guys think?

How do you feel about gun control?

My definition of gun control is using both hands and hitting you target. Personally we don’t need any more gun control, we need idiot control. Any firearm in all of their history NEVER killed one single person or animal, the person holding the weapon and squeezing the trigger did. If you want to argue that guns kill ppl, do this, load a gun and place it on your table, it WON’T do anything but sit there. So how do you feel about gun/firearm control? I say there needs to be a lift on the types of weapons one can own and no restrictions like needing a class 3 federal license to own a fully automatic rifle.
Thanks to all that actually answered and understood what I was saying and had a IQ above a 50 as Lone Wolf said, sadly I can only pick one as best answer, I feel that all of the answer are best answers except that Libarya person, who obviously has many issues.
@Libraya, I am a former Correctional Officer, if you don’t know what that is, that’s a person that works in a prison also know as Prison Gaurds, as a C/O I had to unfortunately protect murders that used firearms and other tools like knives, I’d rather those criminals receive the death penalty instead of waste tax payer money to keep them alive.

Why do people always miss the point?

I’m going to use two examples here, one religious and one current. Example 1: Jesus preached that everybody should be accepted, regardless of who they are, what religion they are, or how they act. He taught that people should be themselves, rather than who people want them to be and that they should be loved for it. He taught that everyone should love everyone else, no matter what. He died on the cross to put emphasis on his message. So, why do Christians hate non-christians, why do they all act they same? Why don’t they do as Jesus taught rather than being blinded by the mythology that came 300 years later?

Example 2: Cho Seung-Hui killed and died because of the way society is. He did what he did becuase of the unfariness of the system, because the rich don’t care about the poor, and because those who act differently are alienated and downtrodden. So, why do the fingers point at gun control and mental health? Why don’t we hear what he had to say and adress the same issues he did?
Ran out of characters so i’m going to add this: I know the second part might make me sound like a communist. Well, your wrong. I’m an anarchist and before you tell me that I want chaos and lawlessness you should learn that anarchy is about freedom, not chaos.
Responding to Sat and Imparicail. I personally am a pagan though I do strongly believe in Jesus’ message of love and acceptance.

And, yes, anarchy is about not letting yourself be ruled. Too many people think it’s about spreading chaos, but in essence it’s just wanting to be left to one’s own devices.
I am aware that not ALL christians are the way I portrayed them (and I am also aware that by thinking as such that I am no better, and I never said I was) but the sweeping majority most certainly is. At least, the one’s who make them selves heard are.

I know that what Cho Seung-Hui did was overly violent, and the people he killed (and their families) didn’t/don’t deserve to suffer, but I don’t think Cho was just some wacko who decided to kill people, he did it with a very certain motive.

In response to the question of how anarchy could knock the current system out, well, it can’t, but does that mean I can’t believe in the principles it stands for?

I am aware that there will always be power struggles, it’s human nature, or at least we think it is. But we didn’t have these problems (at least not to the same extent) when we lived in small nomadic tribes. World ending event, anyone? In any case, that’s another issue altogether.

I am well aware that i’m no better than those i’m against.

Questions regarding gun rights and YOUR views?

Answer each with "Yes", "No", or "Undecided"-

1. Do you agree with Barack Obama that Americans should be forced to apply for a government license before purchasing a firearm?
2. Do you agree with Barack Obama that the federal government should overturn the Right-to-Carry protections that are now in place in 40 states?
3. Do you agree with Barack Obama that all gun stores within five miles of a school or par should be forced to shut down?
4. Do you support what politicians like Chuck Schumer who are using their power in the US Senate to block pro-Second Amendment judicial nominees from being confirmed as judges on our federal courts?
5. Do you agree with Barack Obama that certain firearms should be banned based only on the way they look?
6. Do you agree with Barack Obama that cities and municiplaities should be allowed to ban handguns?
7. Do you agree with Barack Obama that convicted felons such as murderers and rapists–should automatically be allowed to vote in future elections?
8. Do you believe that national media polls claiming that Americans want more gun control are fair, and that they accurately represent the views of voters like you?
9. Would you vote for a candidate who supports proposed UN treaties giving UM bureaucrats the power to dictate America’s policies on firearms?
10. Would you KNOWINGLY vote for any candidate who supports any portion of the gun-ban lobby’s anti-Second Amendment agenda?

I just saw these questions and was curious how others would answer them… this is NOT at all about right or wrong, liberal or conservative, but just my wondering how others feel?
Avail… you don’t even have to be a citizen to vote. Probably the most amazing, beautiful blessing-to vote, yet any illegal or dead person can cast their ballot…
Do you think the distance of a store to purchase bullets at (Wal Mart ring a bell for one thing) is going to stop someone who is literally insane enough to do that? Distance doesn’t stop evil, it just makes it take a little longer.
That is actually one reason my children won’t go to public school… and that is why I support that teachers should be armed as well-or at least have the option to be.
In spite of my views on gun ownership, I do appreciate all the answers you guys (or girls) are giving…
