Answer 1

Washington DC has some of the strictest gun control in the country and they also have the most crimes comitted with guns. South Dakota has some of the least restrictive laws and we have virtually no crimes involving guns. If simply making something illegal to have automatically ends the problem, lets make drugs illegal. Then, no one will be able to get them, RIGHT???? And what does your "question" have to do with the Family Relationships" forum anyway? Are you just dropping propaganda all over the internet where ever you can?

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

In the Constitution we have rights one of them rights is to bare arms. If you take that away from many that enjoy hunting and other activities than you might as well take the constitution and tear it up it will be like any other piece of paper that no one goes by. I fell they need to have better supervision of who posses a gun. Because they are all the time falling in the wrong hands. I also think that if you own a gun than you need to take safety measures in having it to protect our children from shooting each other.

Answer 4

When your wife gets raped by a criminal with a gun your going to be wishing that a neighbor of yours had a gun in his home to protect the weak people like yourself on your block. The constitution gives us the right to own weapons and that right is not going to disapear anytime soon so get used to it.

Answer 5

Not if you think about it.
