Disarm the public!?

Question

I see alot of people on here wanting to ban guns. Please tell me then, who will protect me and my family from a criminal? The police? What should I do if someone is breaking in my house? What should I do if someone is shooting at ME? Come on gun control guys, help me out here. What is my alternative if you take my guns?

Answer 1

With 30,000 gun deaths per year in the US, how much protection do you really think we are getting from all these guns?

How many people have you actually herd of, stopping a crime because they had a gun on them?

Alternatives: In most situations you will never have time to pull out a gun (if it is used at all it will probably be used against a relative in an argument). If you want to defend yourself, learn martial arts, keep a guard dog in your house, use a tazer, mace, or similar device.

Answer 2

I actually agree with you. I have only shot a gun at one point in my life...when I was in military training. I thought it was fun to do target practice, but they still make me nervous.

The problem is that most people are law-abiding citizens and have every right to have a gun...if not on their person, then for sure in their house for protection (per the Constitution).

The problem is, and I've seen this in the UK (where guns are banned). The honest people have no guns, but the crooks still get their hands on them. So if someone REALLY REALLY still wants a gun, they can get one. Think about it. See how many illegal drugs are still out there? You CAN get them if you want them.

Its the guy who did the crime and everyone is looking to blame. If someone wants to do something horrific and doesn't mind dying in the process there isn't ANYTHING that can be done. Think kamikaze. Think suicide bomber.

Answer 3

Only the naive are wanting to ban firearms because of this. It's far easier to blame the tool than the root of the problem. Even so, if they had bothered to do a little research they would realize that the firearms the guy used were illegal firearms and would have been obtainable regardless.
He had a student Visa from South Korea and they aren't allowed to purchase firearms. So either he purchased them underground, stole them, or the shop that sold them to him didn't follow proper protocol. Either way, he was not allowed to have any firearms, so a firearms ban wouldn't have prevented anything except law-abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves.

Answer 6

SPEED P,

I'll come to the rescue as one who does not want my rights taken away..because of some (ONE person deal)..if someone were to take gun away from the people
would not be a happy american freedom country..instead we'd be in the same situation as allot of other countries, maybe I'll have to live in Switzerland, were everyone owns guns and is given practice rounds yearly

Answer 7

people should be able to carry a gun but there has to be some gun control. there is no reason why a person should own an automatic or semiautomatic firearm which is what the shooter killed the students with.

Answer 8

The disarm America wackos are a little misled. If just one professor or another student had a gun in his or her backpack yesterday this nut would not have gotten very far with his plan. They just are not thinking.

Answer 9

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms..disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria, Criminologist in 1764. That was 230 years ago. -Thomas Jefferson

"The constitutions of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves;
that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property and freedom
of the press." Thomas Jefferson



"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson
