The right to have guns goes doubly for those of us who live in Gang territories, or places that have high crime rates(Usually gang territories). In Iraq, every man over the age of sixteen is allowed to have one AK47 and a pistol. I think a law like that should be put in place, every man and woman over eighteen or twenty one should be allowed the right to a pistol or other firearm. If I hear anything about this law on the news, I'm getting one, legally or not.

Yes and the US like Iraq loses tend of thousands of people every year to gun nuts. Many Americans have become so afraid of absolutely everything they dare not venture out without a gun, that in itself is a tragedy. Another tragedy is when you look at the most lawless and violent states like Pakistan,Chechnia,Somalia, Iraq, Afhhanistan the US of H fits right on in with them as places with horrendous amounts of gunvuiolence leading to an atmosphere of terror for many. Nearly evey Am,erican has a gun for self defence but it does not stop the 30,000 deaths a year, it does not stop the alomost weekly massacres in schools, shops, factories and rest homes. Its becoming a case of almost mass hysteria among the normally wonderful American people.
I'm not being funny NR but I don't consider tens-of-thousands of people in the USA killed by gun nuts to even be accurate mate.
If a fraction of them being killed were the 'good guys' there would be mass revolt against criminals and crazies across the states.

I see on the BBC right now 19.10 hours GMT that yet another gun massacre is going on in the US, someplace upstate New York.
Yet another 13 innocent lives lost thanks to insane gum=n laws.

I disagree. If you're going to blame it on our 'insane' gun laws, then it would be prudent to know whether or not he legally owned the weapons. If not, then those gun laws simply did not apply.

Did I just miss it or is SKS not on that list? Also, they are still going to have to come get them.
