Do you think it would be a bad idea to ban personal firearms in AmErIcA?

Answer 1

It wouldn't work. It is unconstitutional, The right to bear arms. If we could just ban something and make it work we should start with illegal drugs, violence and injuring a child in any way.

Answer 2

Yes...I think it would be a bad idea.
I do not own a gun.
Have never owned a gun.
And I hope I never HAVE to own a gun.
But if I should feel the need to do so...I would like to be able to procure a weapon....and not necessarily a fancy shmansy ceramic handgun with a laser site.
A semiautomatic military assault shotgun would do nicely.

And when there are shootings in AMERICA it usually involves people that you expect such things from ...
gang bangers and nuts.
And the majority of Americans are neither one of these.
Banning gang bangers and nuts would be more effective.
But gang bangers and gang wannabees seem to be main culprits.
Hell the bank robbers in America rarely use weapons!
They just walk in the bank and hand the teller a note:):)

Answer 3

Seems that we can't understand that If you ban weapons only the law abiding citizens would comply.. Drugs are banned, but you can get them on any corner. Band guns and you would have more kids selling illegal things on the streets and not doing honest work to improve our society.. No , I am not one that runs and hides when evil comes my way, but I am fully loaded and at all times will protect my family , my country and our way of life. This former Marine would blow your A-- away... Semper Fi

Answer 4

ARLINGTON, Tennessee (AP) -- A knife-wielding grocery store employee attacked eight co-workers Friday, seriously injuring five before a witness pulled a gun and stopped him, police said.

The 21-year-old suspect, whose name was withheld pending charges, was arrested and then taken to a hospital after complaining of chest pains, Memphis Police Sgt. Vince Higgins said. The attack apparently stemmed from a work dispute, police said.

Five victims, one in critical condition, were admitted to the Regional Medical Center, the main trauma hospital for the Memphis area. Three others were less badly hurt and treated at another hospital.

The attacker, chasing one victim into the store's parking lot, was subdued by Chris Cope, manager of a financial services office in the same small shopping center, Higgins said.

Cope said he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his pickup truck when he saw the attacker chasing the victim "like something in a serial killer movie."

"When he turned around and saw my pistol, he threw the knife away, put his hands up and got on the ground," Cope told The Associated Press. "He saw my gun and that was pretty much it."

Police arrived within minutes and took the attacker into custody.

"He just kept saying, 'I'm insane. I wish I was never born' and that kind of stuff," Cope said.

The attack started in an employee area of the Schnucks supermarket on the outskirts of Memphis and no customers were involved, Higgins said.

Police said two large kitchen knives used in the attack were found at the scene.

Witness Frank Rector said the attacker held a knife high in a stabbing position as he chased a victim into the parking lot. The victim, Rector said, "was circling, trying to get away from him."

The ages of the victims were not immediately released. Higgins and a company spokeswoman said all the victims were employees of the store.

The spokeswoman said officials from the St. Louis-based company were on their way to the scene.

Higgins said police were pulling into the parking lot as Cope was confronting the attacker.

"We commend him," Higgins said. "But we don't encourage people to take that kind of risk. He could have been hurt."


It takes the police 15 minutes to respond, and can take a person thirty seconds to bleed out.

Not to mention animal attacks.

Answer 5

I don't like guns by any means. A gun killed someone I love. But disarming America would leave us defenseless. Criminals would be so happy knowing all honest americans have no guns. I think crime would rise.

Answer 6

I think it's a really bad idea, because then just the bad guys would have guns.

Answer 7

It'd be a great idea. It'll make everything a lot safer since no one will be cowardly enough to draw a gun in an argument.

Answer 8

Yes. It would violate our constitution, and too many of our freedoms are already gone. Look at Switzerland- they have the highest per Capita gun ownership rates in the world, and one of the lowest gun murder rates. Its all about people, not guns

Answer 9

Not necessarily - but a full and proper answer would take far more time and space than would be advisable on this forum/

Answer 10

The problem with this idea, commie, is that only law abiding citizens would comply leaving the criminals with their guns.
