Andbreathe Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) It would seem the lack of gun control madness is being opposed by the two major social media giants FB and Instagrame. Do you think this will help or hinder the pro gun lobby? I'll add a link once I've acquired enough posts.

Dubaidani13 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 nothing wrong with legally held guns?? a great many people enjoy using them safely for sport and game, myself included. you dont get a licence unless you are squeaky clean. as for Instagram and FB it will be the latest Hobby horse to beat on!!!

dale1966 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I agree with Gun control , but i think that the control in place at the moment is adequate ( although i do think the age limit for owning / using airguns outside of a shooting club should be raised ). I also regularly shoot as my hobbies are pest control / clay shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Aye, been a shooting man for more than 50 years, so lets hope Facebook and Instagram help the legal shootists. Many thousands more killed with motor vehicles than with guns, why don't we simply ban motor vehicles then. Just saying. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andbreathe Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Crappest. Argument. Ever. I'm inclined to agree, although I'm not really looking for an argument. The topic is intended to initiate debate regarding social media and its involvement in the sale of guns through its consumer base. It could be argued they're bending to social pressure (which could be a positive regardless) considering they have a moral duty as we all do to try and limit its escalation. We all know gun control, or should I say the lack of it, can be a catalyst for disaster. But you're right, adding 'cars' to the equation isn't helping at all. ---------- Post added 30-01-2016 at 19:16 ---------- nothing wrong with legally held guns?? a great many people enjoy using them safely for sport and game, myself included. you dont get a licence unless you are squeaky clean. as for Instagram and FB it will be the latest Hobby horse to beat on!!!

LeMaquis Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Many thousands more killed with motor vehicles than with guns, why don't we simply ban motor vehicles then. Just saying. Do you think that would still be true if guns were as easy to get hold of as cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love guns, I own two and was out shooting foxes and hares locally last weekend. So I am a gun lover, but this argument is the funniest I have ever read. Comparing guns to cars!
