The abuses to our rights causing legislators to impose restrictions are from the few who would use those rights as a shield to cover their illicit actions. EX: 2nd Amend. allows for firearm ownership, abuse comes from those who do not use this right responsibly. EX2: 1st Amend allows for an unrestricted free speech, abuse comes from those who would use their status as a "reporter" to publicly post any and all manner of information even at the expense of tactical plans, classified state information or even in a campaign of DIS-information to ruin a person's credibility.
Our rights and liberties are not specifically conducive to a society of law and order. As long as a person respects the laws and maintains order will they enjoy a measure of liberty and have their freedom to come and go as they please.

As others have stated, your question is so garbled that it is near impossible to decipher. As near as I can understand you are asking the following (rewritten):
“America has a high degree of violence and that rate of violence is due to guns and drugs.” If that is the first part of your question, it is based on a false assumption. If you will look at the actual figures (use the FBI figures by State and county) you will find that areas which have the heaviest gun ownership, there is the least amount of crime. Where there is the highest issued carry permits, such crime is yet lower.
Mixing drugs and gun statistics is difficult at best and misleading at worse. Where drug use is the highest in some urban areas, illegal gun ownership is also high but this must be highly qualified because it doesn’t hold true in all high drug use areas.
It is also important to understand that this issue must separate the legal from the illegal gun ownership. These two demographics have two completely different result in gun use. Legal gun owners have a very low (far less than half a percent) of illegal use and accidents (particularly among children) dropping every year due to gun user education.
“The next section of your question is very difficult to understand, “and its in our constitution yawn no guns less death” I can only imagine that you are trying to say that the constitution means no guns unless it has something to do with preventing one’s death.” If that is something akin to what you are attempting to State, it is way off from the Constitution and the true intent of the Founders. The only mention of the citizen and guns is in the Second Amendment. As provided by the Library of Congress the following Second Amendment (as that version proposed, ratified, and never changed) states:
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
The Founders were, if anything, experts in the use of language and I suggest that if you get someone to parse this amendment, it will (in short) state that the people have the right to keep and bear arms and that the federal government shall not change it or pass laws that alter that right. The part of this phrase to the right of the comma is a declarative Statement which stands on its own. That part to the left of the comma is an independent clause which cannot stand on its own and is not therefore required for the actual meaning of the phrase. Further, that is because such an individual right existed prior (even prior to Magna Carta) to the ratification of the Constitution and the Second Amendment is one of eight “exclusionary” amendments. That is, these eight exclude the federal government from doing a defined act.
Your final reference to the United States steeling rocket technology is also in error, such development came from a number of sources and one of the early ones is Robert H. Goddard from America and before that much development came from Newton’s work on motion.

Did you graduate from grade school? Your grammar is horrible and completely unintelligible.
Guns guarantee you some protection from the government and that right is enshrined in the Constitution. There is nothing wrong with many illegal drugs, and they should be decriminalized.
Death is not rocket science, except we haven't figure out how to cure it. We "nicked" (does that mean pilfered) death or rocket science from the Germans? We "nicked" the jet engin(whatever an "engin" is?) from a Britain? What are you asking? Do you have any brain cells left?

It's hard to understand your question. As a gun owner I feel safer. I always carry one...legally registered. I don't belong to the NRA. I would never use my gun except for self-defense. I glad we are able to own guns in this country. When a person owns a gun...responsibly...it has the ability to change one's thinking dramatically. I've had to think about lots of issues and read about issues that I never had to before. As a gay person, I believe I am safer owning a gun and recommend to other gay people to be trained and practice safely with their weapons. It can remove alot of fear...but adds tremendous responsibilty...and that's not always a bad thing.

The fact that our educational system has failed this young man so completely makes me want to shoot someone.
How did this poor sod even figure out how to power on the computer?
My favorite part of his "question" was the "yawn". I really need to insert the word "yawn" randomly in my writing more often.

if you think that is why there is violence? well you might wanna look at the rest of the world. in the U.S. we rarely chop each other up with machetes, or stone our women for wearing a short skirt, or worse killing them for liking a boy.Yes the U.S. has problems ,but they fall short to the rest of the world.

Crime and violence come more out of desperation than the right to own guns.
