Should America be ashamed by the fact that there would be immediate civil war if people were not allowed guns

Question

Out of my cold, dead, hands

Answer 1

Bound's hubby here:

America should not be ashamed. What American should be ashamed of is that it's citizenry has not learned the facts of it's history, but learned interpretations of history which can be molded by the opinion giver. Some Americans may remember that Thomas Jefferson borrowed his inspiration for the Declaration of Independence from John Locke. But what they may not know, choose to remember, or choose to exclude is thatg Locke also believed that when a government fails to meet the needs of it's people, the people have a duty and an obligation to overthrow that government. Perhaps, if more primary documents were required to be read in schools such sa the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers, more people would be aware of the true intent of the Founding Fathers.

Now, why are Americans and their gun ownership being attacked when in Switzerland (a true democracy) only an armed citizen has the right to vote and the government issues machine guns to it's citizens (ages 18-55)?

While some may be obsessed by their love of guns in America, more Americans are obsessed by their love of freedom which their guns guarantee them.

Answer 2

Doesnt sound like much of a fact and as an American I feel confident in saying that there most definitely would not be "immediate" civil war if guns vanished off the face of the earth. Humans found very effiecient means of killing each other long before guns were invented and there is nothing to stop this from happening now in the event that guns would disappear.

Answer 3

Your question should be what is the point of Americans having guns when they are willing to believe everything their government says? It's not as if there's going to be armed rebellion is it?

In fact, why doesn't Bush just tell the media to report that all guns are mini nukes desgned by Osama Bin Laden and they're going to blow up within the next few days unless they get handed in to the local sheriff. Then all those spastics would disarm!

Answer 4

I went to a prepare selection as quickly as. I could say no guy could ever mess with me. when I went shooting with my pals much less costly gun, I had a sturdy grouping around the middle for the 1st 2 clips. i began out hating the gun because of the fact the kick returned became into too sturdy and that i understand its no longer humorous, because of the fact i could kill a guy, with the help of pulling the set off. After the thrid clip, i became into pulling the gun southward. I nonetheless had large grouping in spite of the undeniable fact that. I could say, if my u . s . needs to look after the thought of usa, my consertvative area will answer with donning a gun no count number if that's needed, yet my liberal area might stress me to pull the gun so it won't kill all of us. regrettably, if my objective prepare is any indication, of ways i might preform, Any guy I shoot at might finally end up no longer being a guy interior the tip. The final 6 clips I emptied became into based around the crouch. I had large grouping on those photos too. My objective sheet might state i could circulate to thereapy as nicely.

Answer 5

I hate to say this but I agree.....I don't know if it would be all out civil war, but a very uproar would happen.....and many people say "with what"......well if they banned guns, many people would not let them be taken away without a fight, that is what he means by civil war.....there are many people who would refuse to give up that constitutional right and would fight to the dealth to keep it....meaning they would not give up thier guns but would use them to keep the right to have them....that is what he means by civil war.....and there are many many many people who would do that, myself included....and not because of just having guns but because its a right garenteed to us by the Constitution...we have lost enough of that as it is....sooner or later we are going to have to take a stand against that, and losing the entire 2nd ammendment, I think would be one of the triggers that would make that happen.....

Answer 6

What about stick and bricks? Look back at history and see how a war can be carried out without modern arms...There are a lot to choose from, enough to keep you too busy to ask questions like this, at least for a while...

Answer 7

I think you should be ashamed of failing to understand American History. And for making idiotic statements pretending to be based in fact.

My guess is that you are either an anti-gun liberal or that you are a child or both.

Answer 8

I would think one would be more likely if people had guns. What would they do, fight the civil war with knives and pointed sticks?

I live in a country where all handguns are banned and only hunting rifles are allowed to a few people. There hasn't been a civil war yet in the 20th and 21st century.

So you are wrong.

Answer 9

It's difficult to have a civil war without guns.

Answer 10

To the day we have been in Iraq as long as we were in World War II. Why don't we just invade and conquer and occupy the whole country? Then we could disarm ALL of them and help them establish a democracy?
