wanting to keep our right to have guns because it is our right is flawed. Yes i agree that the ban on guns and thus our right to own an arm is a perpetuating cycle that may lead to the dissolve of other rights. But im pretty sure that more people will want to see a ban on guns than a ban on freedom of religion or speech. religion and speech do not kill people. neither does unreasonable search and seisure. in terms of our rights, the right to own a gun is like the odd one out, the black sheep.

yes i still believe that guns should be banned. Because that would make it alot harder for you to get your hands on a gun. The only reason that gun violence is so rampant in this #ed upo place is because there are people parading around upholding a right that doesnt make sense in the modern world. chances are, if you were to really want to kill my family with a gun, you deserve to get everything the state has planned for your ass, including a generous #ing courtesy of the others like you.
by the way im no #ing demoncrap

it does occur to me that the person behind the weapon, be it a 767 or an AR15 is responsible. just look at it like this. guns kill more people than terrorist attacks on US soil every year. that was 2001 and more people die than in that incident every single year. you take away the most efficient, accessible easy to use weapon of all and watch the death toll drop like a stone.
religion does kill, i made a mistake, but its not the freedom of religion that kills whereas its the freedom of owning a god damn gun that does.
*hunters? hunters rights? its 2003 almost 2004? what use is there for a hunter?

there are alot of people out there who are not psycho, who kill in the heat of the situation and kill just because they have no morals or place to go in life. YES PEOPLE DO KILL BECAUSE THE HUMAN RACE IS INHERENTLY PRONE TO VIOLENCE, but guns are what makes it easy. they are a problem. take away the tool and it becomes alot harder

lets be reasonable. If you really wanted a gun, you most definately could get one. but what about the people who do not need a gun, come across one, realise the power it holds and lose all sense of reality. they shoot, they maim, they kill over what? a single experience. taking away guns would make it hard for the average joe to get one. thats garunteed. the psychos would remain, yes thats true, but what about the person who isnt a psycho, the person who only kills by mistake or error in judgement. beleive me it makes up a majority of the death toll and it can be stopped by simply passing legislation

dude youre crazy. dont think i dont know about knives im on probation for a year for having a switchblade in my posession. ill tell you this much, from someone who knows, a gun will kill you easier than a knife. its pretty damn obvious. so dont go getting all disgruntled because i dont beleive in psychos like you owning a gun you crazy SOB. look at this if you cant see the difference, a gun will kill you from 0-infinity (name a distance) yards away, a knife will kill you in about a two foot range. you do the math and see whats easier. besides.
hey i dont even know why im arguing. i think everyone here can see the difference between shooting someone and attempting to slice their throat. two different weapons, two different policies, knifes not an issue, guns are.
