I don't have any problem with citizens owning firearms, but I don't think that they should have the RIGHT to own firearms. I seriously think that there that there needs to be stricter regulations on who can own a firearm, the kinds of firearms they can own, and there needs to be definate safe storage standards.

Here is are a few reasons why people SHOULD have guns. For one thing, society. In order to get a gun, you need a registered license. This ensures that MOST of the people carrying guns are registered to use them. Lets face it, in today's society, people have more money than others. People who don't have as much resort to crime to get what they want. Someone will use a gun to threaten and or kill people for what they want.
People use knifes for the same purpose, but you don't see them trying to be outlawed. You see people who drive wrecklessly and hit others in their attempt to escape the police, but you don't hear about cars trying to be outlawed. The fact remains, if you outlaw guns, people will still get them from other countries. By making them legal, you are ensuring people's safety who need them. You need some protection in this world because no matter what laws you have, someone will always be there to break them. You might as well be prepared for WHEN it happens.

Honestly if you were dumb enough to vote for Georgie boy twice (and I mean the people who voted for him) You think it is a good idea to let them out with a loaded gun if you want to have a gun join the army there are plenty of vacancies.

Oh, good one isis, and pencils mis-spell words. everyone should be taught to use a gun, how to handle a gun, and how to do it safely. I'm getting my 9 year old grandson a rifle for christmas. not a bb gun either, a 22, so there. I'll teach him how to use it and to respect it, and how to kill with it. I think everyone should know these things.

They should! Cause the criminals still get away with their illegal weapons and how are we supposed to defend ourselves against that? Feels like discrimination against the righteous. Don't wanna sound like a nag. I wouldn't wanna shoot anyone ever anyway.

Guns do not kill people. People do.
When you eat cookies, cookies don't fatten, people who eat them do.
What's that? People cannot take responsibility for their actions anymore?
Guns are OK in responsible hands. They additionally help to defend yourself. When someone with an UNREGISTERED weapon comes and threaten you, Smith & Wesson is your best friend.

Why should we be able to have knive's or anything else that could possibly be used to maim or hurt people then......answer: because our constitution gives us that right. The criminal element will always have something to use for their crimes.
