Certainly glad to hear that gun control is working so well in Thailand.

Does that include the right to send your children off to schools in the morning without the fear that they will be shot to pieces by an AR15?

It is by comparison with the US. There have, so far, been no massacres in schools or cinemas. Not even in McDonalds.

Hi, it's not guns, it's people. I appreciate having the right to anything a criminal has, gun wise.
I think the focus is on assult rifles because you can kill more people with a single pull than you can with a gun. The problem nowdays is kids with assult rifles in schools. Why is it schools and not airlines and public buildings? Are schools less important?

There are countries in Europe that make the parent responsible for anything the kid does. Why not give life imprisonment, etc, that the parent gets for not knowing what the child is up to? This country is full of "pass the buck" . I'm sure there are millions of parents out there that DO know what their kids are doing, psychiatric problems, etc. But the rest should be accountable for their kids and not pass the buck. If it's your child, it's your responsibility to know something's wrong. Not mine.

It's so so sad that all you kids have to go to school and run the risk of being shot down by a kid that has parents that didn't pay attention or care what their kid was up to. Sorry about the soapbox!

Might want to do a little more research on Canada before using it as an example. We scrapped gun registration; it was a bust. We at least can still put 10 rounds in a 10 round magazine and Canadians probably have just as many guns if not more then Americans per capita.

Not according to Wiki, anyway:

Wiki is only refering to hand guns and also states that the numbers they give are probably not accurate as they cannot determine how many guns a particular licensee owns. Wiki is only as accurate as the next correction someone sends in. Shouldn't be used as a bible.
