| Topic | After Trump's talk with Mexico goes south, North Korea are willing to talk to US |
| UnfairRepresent 02/25/18 9:05:37 AM #2 | Outside the Olympic Stadium, just before the ceremony, more than 200 anti-Pyongyang protesters waved South Korean and U.S. flags, banged drums and held signs reading "Killer Kim Yong Chol go to hell." They denounced the South Korean government's decision to allow the visit, according to the AP. A South Korean protester tear a North Korean flag with a knife, during a rally against a visit of Kim Yong Chol, vice chairman of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party Central Committee, near the Unification bridge in Paju, South Korea, Sunday, Feb. 25, 2018. A North Korean high-level delegation led by Kim arrived to attend the closing ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) "How can a murderer who killed 46 sailors on the Cheonan warship be invited, protected and defended? This is the state of what the Republic of Korea has become," one protester shouted into a mic, referring to South Korea's formal name. The protesters also hung a sign that read: "We are against Pyongyang Olympics: fallen into the propaganda of the terrorist Kim Jong Un's brutal regime." Two weeks ago during the opening ceremony to the games, Kim Yo Jong sat in the same VIP box with Moon and Vice President Pence, creating some awkward moments. Pence stood to cheer the entrance of the U.S. team, but he remained seated when the athletes from North and South Korea marched together behind a "unification" flag, leaving Moon to instinctively turn around and shake Kim's sister's hand. Pence's office claimed afterward that the North had pulled out of a planned meeting at the last minute. The North's state-run news agency ran a story Sunday quoting a "spokesman for the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee" as saying that Pence insulted Kim's sister with his hard-line rhetoric after returning to the U.S. and "we will never have face-to-face talks with them even after 100 years or 200 years."

| UnfairRepresent 02/25/18 9:05:30 AM #1 | North Korea has "enough" willingness to hold talks with the U.S., a former intelligence chief from the rogue country believed to be the mastermind behind a deadly attack on South Korea told the country's president on Sunday. The Blue House, South Korea's presidential office, reported Sunday the news of the meeting between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Kim Yong Chol, a senior official of the North's ruling Worker's Party, during the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics, according to Yonhap News Agency. "President Moon pointed out that U.S.-North Korea dialogue must be held at an early date even for an improvement in the South-North Korea relationship and the fundamental resolution of Korean Peninsula issues," spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said of the meeting. "The North Korean delegation too agreed that North Korea-U.S. relations must develop along with the South-North Korea relationship while noting [the North] has enough intention to hold North Korea-U.S. dialogue," the spokesman added. The United States and North Korea, which have no diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war after an armistice in 1953, have been at odds for decades. In recent months the war of words between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Trump has escalated as the North tests nuclear missiles and Washington pushes the Hermit Kingdom to disarm. President Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, is at the closing ceremony and sitting in the same box with the controversial former general. They did not appear to interact when South Korean President Moon Jae-in shook hands with dignitaries at the beginning of the ceremony, according to the Associated Press. Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, attended the opening ceremony in a historic first no member of the ruling Kim family had ever traveled to the South before. She invited President Moon Jae-in to a summit with her brother in Pyongyang. The delegation to the closing ceremony was expected to follow up on that invitation while in South Korea.

(AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) The delegation's arrival was met by protesters calling for Kim's arrest for his alleged role in the 2010 attacks the sinking of the warship Cheonan that killed 46 South Korean sailors and an artillery strike on a South Korean island that killed four people. During Kims time in the intelligence agency, which is called the Reconnaissance General Bureau, North Korea was suspected of carrying out the 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment. The department is tasked with carrying out cyberwarfare and intelligence operations against other countries. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg |

No the issue is that the US is the only nation in the world with such a crazy amount of guns in circulation, such a large population and yet such crappy gun laws.

And then when it implimented it's real 88 ban, the semi-automatic and pump-action centre-fire rifles we were talking about, crime declined sharply in the following years. It's also been going down since 2003 and there's been no massacres. For starters I don't believe in correleation = causation to begin with. But there isn't even a correleation. And even if we ignore that and pretend there was. Okay, so where's the missing link. The UK bans hand-guns and semi-automatic rifles. Several people still own guns, sane people still can buy them. Meanwhile lunatics and thugs are stabbing each other in the street. 1. Why would they not be doing this if they had semi-automatic AR-15s? 2. Wouldn't it be even worse if these lunatics DID have semi-automatic AR-15s? I mean you guys are arguing that it's good people in America have them because they are so efficent at killing, then in the same breath arguing that gangs in England would be less violent if they had AR-15s instead of butchers knives.

If you want home self-defense that's fine but you can't be doing home self-defense when you're not home so you don't need it other places. The penalty for catching people with a pistol outside the home should be severe like felony not misdemeanor. Also 15 round magazines which is the most common is way too much. Revolvers should easily do the trick. If you can't take down a home invader in six even if you had more rounds you're probably going to get shot back before you'd empty the clip....

Erm. The fact it already has and there is precedent? Literally the only thing standing between the US and the style of gun control in the UK/Canada etc is popular opinion. Not the Consitution. The US government already recongizes that the right to bear arms is not universial and dangerous weapons do not apply, plus certain people (such as criminals, children and nutcases) don't apply. Only reason things like Semi-automatics aren't included is because most of the population doesn't care about the issue and of those that do care, most of them want to keep their cool guns even at the cost of kids lives.

The argument is that in some cases there has been an increase in violent crime after banning guns. Meanwhile Switzerland has some of the loosest gun laws on the planet and yet is one of the safest nations in the world. As mentioned the UK has the worst knife-crime rate in the world. Pro-guners like to argue that this is because they don't have handguns, so they stab each other. Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world. Pro-gunners like to argue that the lack of guns makes them want to kill themselves ... for some reason.
