the government was able to integrate the buses and schools. Sadly, only the government can enforce gun control. Washington will never be safe till we have nation-wide gun control. It you want something else to read, click here -

I agree. But the gun nuts are very powerful.

I think if you were to spend some time actually looking at statistics and researching these things you'd see that poverty levels and the number of people per square mile tend to cause more crime than guns. I think the answer to America's problem of violence is education, not gun control. I'd rather not live in a totalitarian state. I think you and all your like minded friends ought to watch the movie "V for Vendetta". Its the perfect example of why you shouldn't trade your freedoms for safety in the face of danger.
Benjamin Franklin said: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
I hope you take the time to read this quote and think about what all it might mean. The reason we have guns is to discourage and possibly fight if neccesary, a tyrannical government. If it ever comes to this then I think you will be found woefully underprepared if not willing to submit to whatever America's government could become. If it ever comes to that then I and your more responsible fellow citizens will be prepared to deal with it and perhaps you will see the error of your ways.

Funny thing, here in Canada we just went through all this gun control stuff and had all our guns registered and taken away from us and last year Toronto had the highest murder rate in history. Go figure!
Now the government is admitting that gun control was all a mistake. The cost of implementing it was absurd and it really hasn't done a thing for us.

Do you really think the person that is willing to rob or kill another human for 'stuff' cares about gun control? The only people that would follow gun control are the people you want around when the criminal comes a shooting.

This question should be in a different category.
If having a gun becomes a crime only criminals will have guns.
IT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Gun control was popular with Hitler, Mao, and Stalin. Fortunately, people with your sick views are in the minority in this country. Owning a gun is a good thing for self defense.

gun control will not work, because criminals will not comply... leaving an unprotected populace and armed criminals and an armed government!
integration didn't have a negative effect on those who followed it as opposed to those who didn't.
