Answer 1

well i think that we should ban steak knifes, that way OJ would have not been able to kill. i think we should ban cars, that was drunks don't kill. i think we should ban sex that way no one has to worry about abortions and then they don't have to kill. people, there are tons of way to hurt others. guns don't kill, the idiot behind it does. there is always going to be deaths, because that is human nature. look at statistics and see how many people die each year from traffic accidents. it is pretty damn high, yet we all still get in our cars and drive. why is no one concerned about cars?

Answer 2

I believe that our founding fathers were deeply inspired men. I feel that God's hand can be plainly seen throughout the Constitution, including the second amendment. If you have ever read the writing of Thomas Jefferson, for example, you would know that God was indeed central in his life. The sad part is, that because of so many whining atheists, several of the stories of our founding fathers were omitted from the current text books. For example, my mother remembers a story of a fight that George Washington led against the Indians. This was before the revolution, and after the battle he had sixteen (?), maybe it was even more, bullet holes in his coat. He also had bullet fragments in his hair. He was unscathed. He wrote in his journal, that although he didn't know why, he felt that God had preserved his life that day for some important events that would come later. That story isn't taught in school anymore simply because it might offend some atheist in the class. The founding fathers were great examples of faith and bravery, I just wish I felt the same about our current political leaders.

Answer 3

I would say its because of all the shootings and violence that goes on in the inner cities. I myself have no problem with people owning a gun for protection, as long as they go through the proper measures that are required by their state. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man who wants to protect himself and his family from potential murders or criminals who want to do harm. Its a touchy issue. But as long as the person is not a criminal or someone who has a history of crime, your right to bear arms should never be taken away!

Answer 4

We don't.

All we would like to do is keep the guns off the streets that are used to kill - and only kill - others. Is an AK-47 really a weapon one would like their neighbor owning? Especially in the day and age of school shootings?

I have nothing against hunting - hell, I partake in it myself. I just don't really see the reason that someone would need a semi-automatic handgun in their posession. Statistics show that if you are the victim of a crime, and are armed with a gun, you are four times as likely to be killed during the crime - with your own gun. Yeah, that is true protection. . .

Criminals get their hands on guns. Laws aren't going to stop it. And in reality, banning weapons won't either. If the NRA would like to put a better face on things, they might take a good part of their money and EDUCATE people on weapons, their uses, and the ammo out there and uses of that. Beyond hunter's safety, I'm speaking of. They also might want to propose legislation to make it more difficult to obtain weapons that are NOT used for hunting or personal safety. It is hard to argue that an AK 47 with "cop killer" bullets is something used for protection. A "collector" should not mind additional scrutiny and trouble in obtaining something for collection purposes only. . .

By the way, other than killing cops, what is the use of armour piercing ("cop killer") bullets????

THAT is the problem that legftwingers have. It has NOTHING to do with the 2nd Amendment. That is the NRA's way to get the public up in arms (no pun intended. . .).

Answer 5

i love to read the liberals remarks i see they don't know crap about guns such as "vollybal" the NRA dose educate people about guns and you can hunt with a AK47 my friend dose it works fine and i have never seen "cop killer " rounds for a AK but you wouldn't need them regular AK rounds would work fine but i think a AK47 is to small for my taste i use a M1 Garand or Barrett 50.BMG i think that most libs don't know to much about guns they just hear stuff from friends or the news i mean a 30-06 is bigger and more powerful than what a AK shoots but you don't hear to much about it there are a lot of guns that people use for hunting that are more powerful i have a 50.cal rifle the libs are trying to ban it they say you could shoot a jet down with it on landing or takeoff or you could blow up a large fuel storage tank with it but i could blow up a fuel tank with a 30-06 or the libs come up with dumb names such as "assault weapons","weapons of war ,"terrorist weapons" they say you don't need a weapon the military has but my Colt 45 1911 was used by the military for around 73 years or a Springfield 1903 ,M1 Garand there is no difference in those and regular hunting guns i hear libs say automatic weapon's are illegal but they are not in most parts of the country i have one you can even get silencers but you don't hear about people getting shot with a MG42 or a Tommy gun i hear libs say if they banned all guns you wouldnt have to protect yourself but people can use knives and bow and arrows or make a gun John Browning made his fist gun when he was 14 and he made it out of scrap metal

Answer 6

I'm a democrat but I love guns. Liberal democrats think that guns kill people but the truth is that people kill people. It's our right to have guns and they can't take it away because it's in the constitution.

Answer 7

Are you getting ready to form a MILITIA? What country is attacking your household?

You should ask bush why he is trying to get rid of the Fourth Amendment.

Answer 8

They are viscereally opposed to citizens haveing the power to take care of themselves. They think that the govt (which they think is theirs by right) should have all the power.

Answer 9

let me get this straight, you all think that liberals want to take away your right to kill each other with automatic weapons?
Reading the answer's by the right leaning neo/clowns, please keep fully automatic weapons loaded in your home at all times. You will either be killing each other or having some degenerate(like Foley) get in you house and kill you with your own guns, either way, no great loss.

Answer 10

They don't ..the second amendment does not allow for semi automatic and other weapons that have only one purpose ...... to kill other humans.. the next time you go dear hunting with an AK 47 let us all know in the meanwhile go clean one of your guns....
before we come and get em..
