will you vote for a president who wants guns banned?

Question

Or a very strict set of gun laws?...as for me...not a chance in hell

Answer 1

NO way, its in the bill of rights. If they take my guns away I'll make them in my basement. Oh wait I dont have a basement. In the garage then!! Im ok with strict laws but not banning

Answer 2

Lets pretend there never was a 2nd Amendment.. I am sure we don't need the Government or an Amendment To the Constitution to realize that all citizens who want them for Defense, Hunting, Target Shooting, Plinking, Collecting, Survival etc. shall have them without the consent or approval needed from Anyone, Anyplace, Anytime.. Sport, Survival , and Recreation are all thats needed to be taken into consideration. Basically its a matter of FREE CHOICE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO POSSESS THEM.. The Government or no other human being or Law should ever be considered before a person can own and use them.

Answer 3

NO! That would be a spineless President who would obviously love to see the citizens slaughtered by the criminals. If all the good people were not armed and the criminals get their guns from black markets or overseas imagine the death toll. It would all climb fast. I think the only ban on guns should be on people who had a medical history, criminal history, or seems to be unstable and/or under the intent to use illegally. There should be psyche evaluations as well with random questions like many do for highly sensitive, medical, or government jobs. If anyone caught with guns illegally and/or using in dangerous manner, neglectful manner, or any threatening or actions that seems harmful should either be fined, locked up, or both. And blacklisted as well from being able to buy anymore in future.

Answer 4

My answer is NO! I would not vote for a candidate who wants guns banned altogether! I also would not vote for a candidate who thinks a paranoid schizophrenic should be allowed to walk into his local gun dealer and walk out with an AK-47 and 10 clips of ammo.! THERE HAS TO BE A MIDDLE GROUND HERE! BTW, budde ugly; if u voted 4 Bush, you already did. HE wants in your e-mails, your phone lines, AND; your bedroom! What could be more against the constitution than that?

Answer 5

Likewise no...I would not vote for any politician who is advocating Gun Contol! I would however...support one who is advocating more Crime Control-you know,Real Laws with Real Teeth? I would unconditionally support anyone who is advocating Politician Control!!! How about a 7 year waiting period? We could decide collectively-if you are going to be a Nuisance Dud Leader,or one who will work positively for the betterment of society! If you don't meet the criterion-we would then place a 'trigger lock' over your mouth,and cast you back out to the streets! We could also do a Background Check...put him on a Rifle Range,and leave him somewhere in the Background! HaHaHa : ) theerrander

Answer 6

I don't have the faintest idea where you would FIND a candidate who wants to ban guns; I've certainly never heard of one.

But one who wants reasonable restrictions...like, say, not letting mentally ill people buy guns? Absolutely.

I certainly wouldn't go so far as, say, Japan (which has almost no guns and so almost no gun crime) but I've got no problem with keeping weapons out of the hands of people who aren't qualified to use them.

Answer 7

Wow...I am suprised after what happened at Virginia Tech that so many people are still actually believing that it is a necessity to have every day citizens have access to guns. If you are a responsible person, you would keep a gun in your house unloaded, with the ammunition locked up so children could not get hurt. So if someone breaks into your house, you are going to have time to get your gun, go unlock your bullets, load your gun, and successfully shoot a person while your scared and about to &*^% your pants? Not likely. People freak out at the thought of losing their "right:" to have guns but don't bat an eye that there right to privacy is being trampled on, in the form of wiretaps, abortion laws etc....get a grip people...unless you want to hunt...you don't need a gun. It's ridiculous.

Answer 8

there has been so many people killed with guns in the passed years and even now. as a concerned Aunt and expectring mother i would vote for that president not to be harsh or over the edge but there has been alot of children and teens killed in the past ten years by guns alone in the United states. they have been killed by gangs or in school shootings by mad teenagers and recently there was a shooting in college. so you ask if i would vote for a prsident who wants to bann guns, yes i would. im in for a better world were people dont hate others. i have a couple of questions for you my friend. what would happen if you lost someone you loved by guns or have a gun pointed in your face with the person saying you dont deserve to live and they dont want you around any more. how would you feel then? would you have a different opinion about the banning of guns?

Answer 9

I would view such a candidate as an anti-constitutional menace. The first ten amendments to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, are sacred and may never be amended. They are the amendments written by the founders own hands.

Without any of the rights listed in the Bill of Rights, this country would cease to be America.

Answer 10

Absolutely. I think America's second amendment rights are bloated, and this past weeks events are proof of that. Japan knows what they are doing by curbing the rights of careless gun owners, they have seen the results in their crime statistics. anybody who says the correlation between gun control and gun violence is nonexistent is either delusional, lying or stupid. Japan has set an example by having the most stringent gun laws in the democratic world, and the result is that Tokyo is the safest major city in the world.
Politics plays a major part in gun control, and it is unlikely that we will see any major candidate making any significant strides toward this.. NRA , along with many other second amendment lobbying groups make sure people like John Kerry are seen out in surplus gear making a fool of himself just to score certain important votes. So you don't have to worry about anybody taking away your weapons! They are safely there for you to hoard along with all your canned goods for when the &%$ hits the fan!
Frankly, it's over the top. It's far too easy to acquire a deadly weapon (even assault weapons for gods sake!) , conceal it, and kill a person without a trace. It's easy for children to obtain weapons, and it is not required by law in many places to even manufacture the safety mechanisms that kill children by accident. Background checks usually aren't required, many gun shows don't even bat an eye before passing on a glock to a seventeen year old kid, there are unchecked weapons all over the country. Measures taken to register these weapons, and track their whereabouts wouldn't impede on your right to hunt animals. But it might just help solve a homicide, or save a life.
You can have your shot gun and kill whatever little animals you want with it, but when stuff like Virginia Tech goes down youre crossing the line into MY TERRITORY and violating MY RIGHTS. This is America, at the top of the first world. I shouldn't have to be in perpetual survival mode, just to preserve YOUR right to own a weapon that one day might very well kill ME.
