would you give up your right to bear arms ?

Question

If there were an event such as a several mass shootings or terrorist type attack involving guns would you let the government convince you to give up your right to bear arms to better society ?

I am asking because they are currently preparing new laws to be proposed and I wonder how people will react ...

I'm happy to see most of you are not giving into the propaganda...

Answer 1

Won't happen in this nation. The first line that would have to attempt to take our firearms would be the police followed by the national guard. Neither group of people would be willing to do so. We have a volunteer citizen military that is sworn to uphold the constitution along with obeying orders. It can be fairly said that the constitution is more important than any individual and therefore the military would be unwilling to get involved as well.

On point though. IF the problems were as you describe, of course not, the anarchy would be worse with a criminally armed minority holding the rest of the world hostage. For an example just see D.C. As the sun sets people who don't live there get away as quickly as possible at night.

Answer 2

NO

A volunteer Security Guard at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs killed a would be Mass Murderer because she was carrying a Gun.

I thank God that Jeanne Assam (A hero) was volunteering as a security guard yesterday. If his had happened in another state where the government has made sure that no one is allowed to have a Gun in a church by passing laws against it, things may have turned out differently.

It should be Legal for Law Abiding Citizens to Carry Guns EVERYWHERE!

Guns were not allowed at the mall in Omaha, or at Virginia Tech. Guns are not allowed at Churches in most states. These are all places where the Government has disarmed the Law Abiding population, so thanks’ to gun control you can expect many more mass shootings.

The day they outlaw guns is the day I become an Outlaw. I have sworn to protect the Constitution, and I will.

I don't understand how some people think that the bill of rights has 9 amendments that protect the rights of the people and the 2nd amendment is the only one that protects the rights of state governments to have a national guard.

"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."

It doesn’t say that you and your neighborhood watch can not form a Militia.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

There is that pesky "the right of the People" again. Does the right of the people only protect free speech for state governments?

Answer 3

I would never give up the right to bear arms. I do not even own any guns but I would not want to give up that choice. By making it illegal to own guns will only create a higher crime rate. The black market on guns will rise dramatically and the people that should not own guns will have them available to them through criminal activity and the people such as ourselves will have nothing to protect themselves with. There are lots of countries that do not have strict gun laws, such as Switzerland and yet they have one of the lowest homicide rates on the globe. I know if I was a criminal, I would think twice about robbing or committing a crime against someone knowing that they had a gun! Also, if every adult in a particular country owned a gun, then I would think that an invading country might think twice about attempting and attack!

Answer 4

Hi,

Any Nation that gives up it's Right To Bear Arms, And
That Includeds Its Citizens, Is Asking For Disaster.

Answer 5

No. If such a ban on guns was made law, only the thugs would have guns. Most of them aren't permitted to own guns now, but they do. A law won't change criminal behavior. Only the law-abiding citizens would obey.

I won't live in a place where only criminals, law enforcement and military have weapons.

I would, however, support a ban on assault weapons. There is no reason to own one of those....their only purpose is to kill people.

Answer 6

I currently own about 27 guns. I use them for hunting and target shooting, and just for fun sometimes. They stay in a locked gun cabinet when not in use, and if the government ever tried to take them, they'd have some problems. I wouldn't give it up, ever, and I shouldn't have to. It's ridiculous that we would have to give up guns because of some radical terrorist A holes. Besides, even if we give up guns, do you honestly think that's going to stop terrorists and criminals from using them? No, it'll just mean your average joe is more defenseless.

Answer 7

no remember in case you like it or no longer, prefer to or no longer, you have the guy good to undergo palms, as has been back and back desperate by potential of the US ultimate court docket in its interpretation of the 2d exchange. Like different rights secure under the form, there could be "clever regulations" on your good to undergo palms, provided they have a rational foundation and are calculated to be the least available intrusion upon that good. for people who have faith "no weapons" is a safer way, inspect how nicely that has labored out in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, interior the final couple of years (fairly much finished ban on civilian weapons) as against any city in united statesa. the place the lawful electorate can look after themselves. in certainty, ten cases greater crimes are stopped by potential of armed electorate than all the police prepare (police particularly inspect after the certainty and no longer often end crimes, such because of the fact the only the place you chosen to waive your good to undergo palms and have been murdered on your man or woman homestead by potential of a criminal who could no longer care much less approximately "gun administration" regulations).

Answer 8

NO!!! Guns don't kill, people kill. If someone is going to cuase harm to someone they can use other weapons than guns. What is the government going to do next? Fix our meals for us so we can't use knives next. It sounds like this country is heading for a dictatorship. They do not want anyone to think for themselves. Sound like communism doesn't it.

Answer 9

No, I absolutely would not give up my rights to have a gun.

I am a law abiding citizen and have the right to do so.

The criminals will ALWAYS have or be able to get weapons.

Answer 10

If the reason that there are mass shootings is because the cops can't control it, why would you want FEWER armed and trained citizens?
