who thinks that the reason our government wants our guns taken away and outlawed is to easier control us.?

Question

guns don't kill people. people do

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson.................. "The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in the government"

Is was true back then and it sure as heck is true today!!!


U.P.

Answer 2

Thomas Jefferson said that the reason for the 2nd ammendment was to protect the people against the goverenment. Yes thats why the control, crime was at an all time low when every one had guns! Since gun control crime has only risen, so reduction of crime is not a valid argument

Answer 3

No doubt about it but what did the USA do when the Germans occupied France - - - - they dropped hand guns out of aircraft in hopes that some people would use them against the government. In this country the government is suppose to fear the people, not the people fearing the government like it is now.

Answer 4

I think that they have give up on that. Nobody gets my gun, when guns are outlawed I will be an out law. I do though think that it does not hurt to run background checks on people that buy guns, it might cut down on violent crime. I worked at a sporting goods store once and the boss said if somebody comes in and wants to buy one bullet don't sell it to them. Common sense.

Answer 5

In the five years since 9/11, the Bush administration has carried out the greatest attack on rights and liberties in the history of the republic -- without disarming the population.
Isn't this curious? Shouldn't that fact tell us something? Might not the entire debate over the right to bear arms be a diversion, a smokescreen, encouraging U.S. citizens to reduce liberty to the right to bear arms? To lull them into a false sense of security: "I have my gun, therefore I am free"? What liberty is left when one's only defence against false arrest, unlawful detention, and torture is to force a stand off at gunpoint when they come to take you away?
Most Americans have been so brainwashed and emptied of the ability to think critically that they are willingly going to the slaughter, still metaphorical at present, but for how long? While they have their TV's, iPod's, SUV's, and fast food, they believe they are free. They send their sons and daughters to far-off lands to die for what they are told by pathological liars is a noble cause.
We repeat, when we look at all that has changed in the USA since 9/11, we see it has been done without disarming Americans.
But people have been disarmed of their capacity to think. By the time it gets to guns, it is too late, those freedoms have already been lost, so that concentrating on the right to bear arms is looking in the wrong place. That is what I mean when I say it may lead to a false sense of security. People could think that because they are still armed, they, and their freedoms, are still safe even though those freedoms have already been lost. It looks as if the freedoms of Americans will be lost in spite of an armed population because first, the tyrants have figured out a way of turning the majority of people into sheep, and second, those left will be isolated and unable to make a difference, even with guns.
Do not be lulled and taken in by the idea that your guns alone will protect you. Knowledge will protect you: the knowledge of the true nature of the enemy, the psychopath and other pathological types; the knowledge of how they operate, of how they manipulate; the knowledge of the true reasons for war in the Middle East; the knowledge of why Bush and Co. are waging a war on the Constitution, and knowledge, as well, of the rest of the world and the justness of its anger towards the government of your country. Extricating ourselves from the flames of the world and the plans of the pathoicrats will take great care and an understanding of complexity. Reliance upon and faith in simple solutions and simple slogans will only ensure the loss of our freedoms and the victory of tyranny.

Answer 6

Partly, but I think it's more of a matter that they don't trust our judgment in their (guns) use. Common sense is not respected by many bureaucrats anymore, only credentials. "If it ain't certified, it doesn't exist!" Therefore, cops can carry guns but we shouldn't. What's ironic - read: stupid - is that the ones they should be controlling are crooks. And the last time I checked they weren't inclined to pay attention to any laws, much less any concerning concealed carry.

Answer 7

It is more accurate to say that Democrats want to take away your guns....
Democrats are the anti-gun party and want to dis-arm us.
Guns are a tool. The police share no liability in being late to your house when you call 911 to report an armed intruder. the responsibility to defend you and your family lies entirely upon you.. you can't sue the cops for being late if you are injured, the government won't allow it. If a bear chews you up while camping, you can't sue the government for failing to protect you.-
Keep your gun handy, vote republican, and join the Natl. Rifle Association...

Answer 8

The government controls the american people by money and prospects there of, not with or without guns.

Answer 9

I don't attribute sinister reasons to gun control legislation. I don't think that gun control people have thought anything through, so I don't think they've thought that far ahead.

Otherwise they'd know that such legislation doesn't work and can't work.

I do think that the whole "govenment control" think is pretty bogus tho. How many .410 shotguns would it take to equal one nuke if those in charge of the nukes were that evil?

Answer 10

DUMB STUPID did you not see "Bowling for Columbine" the reason this country is in danger is because of guns !!! Every day 1200 kid are shot by their friends and 23,349 people are murdered by neo-nazis every day !!! 61,000 people are killed every day in this country.If you give up your guns and let the police do their jobs well all be safe. I hope some day to be safe and the only way this will happen is if you wake up.
