U know i noticed one thing, in the countries that dont sell legal guns, there is less crime in overall.


Most of the criminals use guns to shoot if they need to, and if u own a gun and they know that, its most likely ull be shot straight away coz the criminal wouldnt wanna give u an oportunity to shoot.

I have to disagree with you on that. The right to bear arms in the Constitution means legally bear arms. Those kids are illegally getting the guns somehow. Even if it was against the law to bear arms, I'm sure they would still get their hands on it. For instance, look at drugs. Just because drugs like marjiuana are illegal, it doesn't mean people can't get their hands on them.

I think bearing arms is kind of pointless (normal people just aren't anxious to go shooting people, even if they are faced with robbers). However, if a person is old enough, and is mature enough to get a license for a gun, I don' t see why they cannot own one.


A lot of the small kids who wounded or killed other kids got their firearms because their parents left them easy access - a 6 year old doesn't obtain a gun illegally. And I know that ppl will still get them if they're illegal, but at least it'll make it more difficult for them. And that will at least lessen the number of guns around. And I honestly don't know why sby would want a gun if they're not gonna use it - even if you're just buying it for personal protection, you'd have to be willing to use it if push comes to shove.

You may be right on that, although I haven't seen any statistics on it, but it does seem likely that there would at least be less violent crime if access to guns was restrained

I think that may be true as well, ppl are bound to get more prone to use their weapons if they know the other person is likely to have one as well. I remember last time I walked down Hollywood Boulevard in LA I felt really uneasy because so many ppl were carrying weapons, it just makes you feel more threatened by the surroundings, which will make ppl more trigger-happy

No question about it. Taking away the right to bear arms not only alters our constitution, but it doesn't really help. All the civilians who keep one for family protection would be unarmed, and all the criminals who get them illegaly anyway would still get em.

Definitely, it should be a constitutional right for everybody to wear t-shirts, tank tops, wifebeaters aso. :p :p Sorry, I just couldn't help it - I guess you mean "bear arms" as in carry and not "bare" as in naked - please don't be mad :flowers:

And no, I don't think Americans or anyone else except the police and the army and a few other rare cases should have a legal right to carry firearms. The more guns are around, the more likely it is that someone will get shot.

There has been way too many cases with ppl shooting or threatening other ppl for no reason, and awful cases with teens running amok or small children shooting each other over lost video games. The number of cases like that wouldn't be so high if access to guns wasn't so easy.

As for the right to protect yourself - if there weren't so many guns around, you wouldn't need to protect yourself with a firearm in return.
And you don't need a gun to protect you against ppl who want to stab you - take martial arts classes of some sort instead and learn how to defend yourself.

And about the cliche that "guns dont kill ppl ... ppl kill ppl" that's just not true - ppl with guns kill ppl!

the fact is, criminals will always get guns illegally, so what? are you gonna let criminals be the only ones with guns? thats pretty dangerous
