Should America ban the sale of firearms?

Answer 1

Say ,if America wants to become a world peace leader.But America's history will not allow it to stop selling arms because a very high percentage of its economy is based on the sales of arms.

Answer 2

Recently a couple of rulings have been upheld or passed:

"A federal appeals court overturned the District of Columbia's long-standing handgun ban Friday, rejecting the city's argument that the Second Amendment right to bear arms applied only to militias.

In a 2-1 decision, the judges held that the activities protected by the Second Amendment "are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contingent upon his or her continued intermittent enrollment in the militia."

A lower-court judge in 2004 had told six residents they did not have a constitutional right to own handguns. The plaintiffs include residents of high-crime neighborhoods who wanted the guns for protection.

The Bush administration has endorsed individual gun-ownership rights, but the Supreme Court has never settled the issue.

If the dispute makes it to the high court, it would be the first case in nearly 70 years to address the Second Amendment's scope."

And

Georgia's Sweeping legislation

"....That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just Powers from the Consent of the
Governed, that whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying its Foundation
on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in
such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed,
will dictate that Governments long established
should not be changed for light and
transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience
hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they
are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses
and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their
Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide
new Guards for their future Security...."

What gets me is that most uneducated, not necessarily anti 2nd amendment, still think a semi-auto is an assault rifle. The definition of an assault rifle is that it is selective fire. Can I own a full auto legally, Of course, if I want to pay the licensing fees.
Besides I need my guns to overthrow the Gov't when they get out of hand. (Rapidly approaching......)

Answer 3

NO!!! First, America's history dictates the value firearms. Do to a seemingly lack responsibility, the sale of firearms must be managed. Just as the sale of automobiles is managed. Just as a license is required to drive an automobile, so should firearms licensed. Knives do not kill people, neither does any kind of poison, automobiles or ropes (noose). Guns do not kill people either. The adverse activities of people kill people. Inanimate equipment will not come to be active unless someone activates it.

Answer 4

Absolutely not. If we ban firearms that is only hurting the law abiding citizens that want to keep and bear arms. The criminals will still get theirs.

Answer 5

The reality of that ever happening is slim to none whit my money on the later. As long as the 2ND Amendment to the US Constitution is still in effect firearms will be manufactured, bought and sold in this country. What should happen is that all assault type weapons and large capacity magazines should be baned. Additionally all firearms should be registered and part of that registration process should include 40 hours of firearms training and a very through and rigorous background check.

Answer 6

in assessment to Australia, we had a Revolution in the States and solid off the oppressive orders of the king, changing his government with something extremely distinctive. My British-born professor of Constitutional regulation in a US regulation college refused to even renowned, no longer to point communicate, the 2d replace, which protects the guy suited to undergo arms from federal infringement. some state constitutions, like NH, even circulate as much as now as to declare, "All persons have the perfect suited to maintain and undergo arms in protection of themselves, their families, their assets and the state." for this reason, as a results of fact persons have the perfect suited to undergo arms, it isn't any longer smart to communicate any style of ban. As reported by potential of Ornery and propose, it particularly is somewhat perplexing for a regulation-abiding citizen to acquire a gun enable in Mexico, yet 2,six hundred human beings have been murdered in the city of Juarez final year, which incorporate quite a few hundred police, interior basically some miles of the U. S. border, previous which one nicely-knownshows relative peace between the gun-slinging human beings. EDIT: For Andrew ok in eire: What got here approximately while eire in truth banned severe explosives? The IRA invented/observed the motor vehicle bomb, which replaced into lots less costly and risky, harder to track, hassle-free to outfitted and conceal, and purely as deadly. constructive going.

Answer 7

No, american needs to sell firearms. that is what makes America, America

Answer 8

No. The 2nd amendment gives Americans the right to bear arms. That privilege cannot be taken away without repealing the amendment. It wouldn't matter anyway. Those that want guns for violent and illegal purposes have a way of getting them anyway.

Answer 9

If the govt tries to repeal the 2nd Amendment there will be a civil war in the US!!!! Nobody wants this therefore leave it alone, If it does happen all 15 of mine will be used in defense of my home, family, and rights under the Constitution!!!
If they take away the 2nd there is nothing left to stop them from taking all the rest!!!!
LONG LIVE THE 2nd AMENDMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
