Taking away the right to have a gun? Do you agree?

Question

Taking away individuals' right to own guns is against the Second Amendment and most likely will not solve our high crime rate problems. Do you agree or disagree. Explain in detail and I will choose your answer.

Answer 1

Disagree. Normal, moral people do not commit gun related crimes. We must improve the screening process for who is initially allowed to purchase guns, not completely out law. In addition, we must make the penalties for carrying or owning an illegal or unregistered firearm absolute and draconian. We must severely punish those who give gun "ownership" a bad name.

Answer 2

disagree. There are way too many ways to kill a person that removing only one of them is pointless. The big argument for removing guns are that "it makes it too easy for an angry person to kill". The problem with this, is anger is typically a crime of passion. Most crimes of passion are either done via strangling or stabbing. So unless we ban all knives and hands that is a useless arguement.
What about those areas that have NO police protection, or a very minimal amt. are they not entitled to the same protection as the rest of us?
I live in a large city, but we have VERY minimal police protection. The last 911 call that was made in this area, took nearly 45min for police arrival. We also live in an area surrounded by recently released pedophiles/sexual offenders. Just a couple of months ago, after stalking a neighbor for months (the police couldn't do anything about it), a man broke into her home, she met him around the corner with a shot gun. She was 8mos. pregnant, and had 2 toddler girls asleep in their beds. Then she had to wait for the police to arrive while holding him at gunpoint. Come to find out, he was an unregistered sexual offender. What would have happened if she hadn't been armed?
They can take my right to bear arms, but they had better be faster than my trigger finger!!

Patriot Self Defense system achieves success for 2 main factors. The first is that it use basic actions incorporated from all the best combating designs available. The 2nd is that the manufacturers of this program didn't stop there, they took these moves into the research laboratory and ran all kind of clinical examinations to accumulate as much data as feasible prior to readying to function to assess this data and put together a scientific established protection system that rather truthfully revolutionizes the industry.

Answer 4

Why do you insist on detailed explanations when the experience of other countries who deny individual gun ownership, and of states within the US which strictly control gun ownership, proves beyond the slightest doubt that fewer guns in private hands reduces violent crime? Of course it won't eliminate all crime - but if gun control can reduce a thousand murders a week to fewer than fifty a week, I'll vote for the second figure in a heartbeat!

Answer 5

Its been said many times before, if you make owning a gun a crime only criminals will own guns. That pretty much sums it up, the thugs out there will find a way to get a gun don't we have the right to defend ourself. I think that not only is it guaranteed in our constitution but that more people should be carrying guns.

Answer 6

I am a 36 yr. old wife. If it had not been for my firearm, major harm would have come to myself and my child. Criminals WILL obtain ANY weapon to commit their crimes. There will always be a "black market". If we outlaw our guns, then the criminals will be the ones in control. Is that your idea of the "American Dream"? Definately NOT mine! I work hard for my family and the conveniences, I should be able to legally defend that. If we outlaw our guns, I will keep mine, and be one of the so called "criminals", for just owning it. I will defend what is mine, not offend what is not. I agree with most of the answers I have read here today. Good luck in choosing the best answer, it would be tough for me!

Answer 7

If you want to make it harder to legally buy a gun that is OK I suppose. Longer waiting periods and background checks are fine with me. Including requirements for psych evals to be included in the system is good. Requiring private citizens to do background checks as well before selling a gun is fine too. But don't tell me I can't have a gun because YOU are afraid someone will get hurt.

Cars kill more people annualy than guns and no one except greenies want cars banned and they want them banned for different reasons.

So no I don't agree with banning guns wholesale.

Answer 8

Having been victim of a gun related kidnapping, I will not ever be able to agree with any gun laws.
A law is for the law abiding. Taking away guns prevents law abiding citizens from defending themselves. Criminals will still obtain, carry, and use guns illegally. They won't be stopped.
Kuwait was taken over because of their gun laws.
They had no means of self defense.

Answer 9

Well,when the second amendment was written, the guns of the day were muzzle loaders. I believe in the right to own guns, but think how much safer we would be if all we had were single-shot muzzle loaders. Our forefathers did not foresee the invention of repeating and assault guns.

Answer 10

First,as you said,it is in the constitution.We should not alter or remove parts of the constitution that suits another group of peoples personal view.Our founding fathers put that in the constitution to protect the common people from the brits burning their farms and killing their families.That was put there to allow us the freedom of protecting ourselves and our families.I am for the second amendment 100%.Just because drunks get in a car and kill people,should we ban cars?
