I for sure agree. Why not use that money to help all those dying of poverty and lack of medical attention!! It's time the peasants said "enough is enough", who cares about a bigger bomb heal the people and the land so life can carry on!

Heck no. Then we just open ourselves up for attack. You must have weapons or you have no defense.
What sort of tree huggin hippie crap are you preaching about?
I think you need to read up on the way the world works. We have a right to bear arms to protect ourselves from complete government control. Just as the government has the right to mfr weapons to protect the homeland from outsiders.
Stop tripping - you're not running in a Miss America Contest.
Get a brain.

what a naive view of the world
you must be about 18 or so right? maybe early 20s? thats usually about the right age for this world peace nonsense...the world is full of conflict, mainly because man is an animal competing for resources like any other animal in the world
do you think the world is the way it is because people are inherently nice to one another? let me tell you, they arent
your entire way of life in america (or in any of the western nations) is based on the fact that our goverment builds and buys the best weapons available, it underlies all of the power our government has
ok lets see if america stopped making weapons right now, in 10 years our arsenal would be outdated, oil would rise to about 200$ per gallon and you'd have to walk everywhere, you'd be paying 6 dollars for a loaf of bread and standing in long lines to get it, you going to the mall and picking out clothes from hot topic, and making wild assertions on the internet would stop because you wouldnt be able to afford it
mommy and daddy wouldnt be able to buy you an ipod, a cell phone that takes photos and so on
now, in this new bleak world i describe, do you want your president to send in the navy to reduce the price of oil? or are you still a peacenik?

holy freaking-**** no. Look at where we are as a nation, its because of people like you, and the wonderful Clinton administration that we have no real defenses and our army and naval capacity doesnt provide us with the protect we need, let alone enough to fight any real wars.
North Korea has been threatening for weeks now to launch a missile at America, hitting either the west coast or Chicago. And our anti missile system hasnt been tested! and we cant test it for fear that it wont work and then we look like sitting ducks.
Although its perfectly acceptable to state that on satellite television.
We need to booster our capabilities. Or we're going to find ourselves as the short end of the stick. And then everyone will be complaining when the states get taken over.

Dear Parth,
Who will not agree to your suggestion if only there was no conflicts due to religion,region,selfishness,ego,anger and greed.But who will bell the cat.Every one is living in an atmosphere of fear of attack by some one.Only a Calamity which will engulf this earth and bring the creation back to square one can stop manufacture of weapons.Yes we should make a begining to stop weapon manufacture invest that money in development and well eing of mankind especially the poor and down trodden.D.P.SARMA

No and I am not sure what type of weapons your talking about- ones of mass destruction or handguns. The problem is the "bad" guys- in the middle east or the drug dealer on your block will ALWAYS have guns/weapons. It's important that the "Good Guys" have need to be able to fight back.

We should only make weapons for military use. Not a single person should be able to own a gun or things like that. I wish this could be real, although a place like that is so surreal that most likely it will not happen. But who know?

No, we have the right to bear arms. This wouldnt stop the wrong people from getting ahold of weapons. This would just prevent sane minded people from getting them

Absolutely not. Never allow all of your modern sensitivities to blind you of the fact that we are still animals, and we still have the basic animal need to defend ourselves.
Without weapons, the stronger simply overcome the weaker. It is the existence of these weapons, in part, which leads to the evolution of our sensitivities to begin with.

I love the point you are trying to make. However, if we stop making weapons the criminals will be the only ones that have them!

Yes, people should just live without this need for world domination.
I mean as far as I'm concerned people can follow what ever religion they want etc, why do we or others need to impose?
Then KILL people in the process? I mean it's like the ghost of Hitler still lives in some people.
