What's your opinion of gun control?

[sweetbet]

I understand why some people might need a gun for protection, but why would anyone need one or more military assault rifles?

The right to keep and bear arms in the United States is a fundamental right protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, and by the constitutions of most U.S. states. The Second Amendment declares:

   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.

In the United States, which has an English common law tradition, the concept of a right to keep and bear arms was recognized prior to the creation of a written national constitution. When colonists in the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against British control during the American Revolution they cited the 1689 English Bill of Rights as an example.


In Europe millions and millions of people died because all they had to fight back was butter knives.

A troll, but a good one.  (Snoops is actually a useful resource in some corner-case instances.)  It would be great if such a stupid idea really did go, and maybe it will induce some idiot to create a real effort along these lines;  a guy could make some money setting up a web-cam pointing at a neighbor's house and catching a 'real crime in progress' on vid.

Being able to induce drug addled losers to one's house at 2am could also foster a competition for the most gory shotgun-to-the-face pics.  It could help develop the most effective shotgun loads for meth-heads.  Kinda like they did back in the day to develop 'Rhodesian Jungle' loads and so forth.

I believe that the mass distribution of weapons should not be tolerated, because we see the consequences of the availability of weapons every day when people commit hard murders.

"I believe only the police forces I adore, only the military I love, only politicians I admire, only The taxman I want my daughter to marry, should have the exclusive rights to own an infinite amount of weapons. No one else."

Guns are made for one purpose, and that purpose is to kill.
I believe that guns are not weapons, they are tools. How they are used is up to the person holding it.
Guns are especially dangerous in the hands of people who don't know how to use them (i.e., kids and teenagers) as well as those who are mentally ill and/or have a temper problem.
Gun control will not stop violence because a violent person doesn’t need a gun to be violent.
After the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, support for gun control increased dramatically.

Generally in America, the support for gun control has outweighed the support for gun rights.
Are gun control laws constitutional?
What would be your ideal set of laws regarding firearms?

I really think that there should be a gun control because not all people are capable of having a gun. There should be strict compliance and only sane people should be allowed to carry guns. There should be a series of test before someone will be given permit to carry.

Should the tests include someone's religious belief?

A 250 pound muscleman can easily take down a 90 pound granny. If Granny has a gun, she has a chance. How much more necessary if the muscleman is rogue a cop or judge.

Least capable are the cops. Take their guns away first.

There should be a gun control because it is very destructive and dangerous.The purpose why gun was made is to kill.So if there's a law regarding controlling the use of it,it may reduce the danger of using it in a bad purpose.Only the right authority is the one must use it just like militaries and to those who has the right in using it..

 I believe all things in the world have a porpose one of that is a hun gun create with a porpose not only to kill  but to depend our self to the others  to the bad people. But if we have a guns we need this with lisence .

[Astrilian]

Gun purchases and ownership should be made illegal. Where I live (Europe) it is illegal and this is reflected in the statistics. The argument that you need protection against criminals does not make sense

Look at what happened in Vegas, If people had guns on them it could have been even worse, people would have shot at each other as the Killer was out of reach for small guns or pistols

[nitinmohite]

With a population of one third of India they(US) say they need assault rifles to protect themselves what more worse could it be. It only means that the police is incapable to protect there.
In India its so hard to even get a 3 mm pistol(licensed) that you have to have good influence or have to bribe handsomely to get the licence quickly. Although its easy to get unlicensed here.

[Xising]

Like what they, guns don’t kill people, people do. Gun control doesn’t really promote peace; for there are many other tools we can use to kill people. I think the attention must be focused on rigorous mental health check for those people who feel the need for guns. Most gun carriers have guns for protection and it must be kept that way.

[Cyberbits]

I believe that guns are not weapons, they are tools. How they are used is up to the person holding it. Guns themselves can't do anything it is the person with the gun that decides where the bullet goes.

Gun control will not stop violence because a violent person doesn’t need a gun to be violent. Taking guns away from violent people will not make them less violent. It might make them more violent. Violent people can use anything to be violent. Taking guns away from violent people is no more than just taking one out of a thousand more ways to hurt, rob, or kill you.

[Cyberbits]

secondly,Guns are made for one purpose, and that purpose is to kill. Guns are especially dangerous in the hands of people who don't know how to use them (i.e., kids and teenagers)as well as those who are mentally ill and/or have a temper problem.

Look at how easily young people get access to guns. This combined with an unhealthy approach to conflict resolution is what causes so many people to be killed by gunshot wounds.

I find it totally outrageous that anyone can go around with 4 or 5 or 10 fire arms on them.and what about selfdefence some will ask? How about rubber bullet guns the cops use in europe ? those could immobilze a person in a blink , no question. And every time a tragedy happens the politics will say it is not the time to discuss but to pray. Pray for what? For them to grow a pair and tell the gun companies to hump themselves ? Are we insane to ask for people not to walk around like heavyarmed killing machines? Or are they insane, hipocrits and sold asses, for prostituting the lost lives of inocent people who died because the so called leaders never had the guts to stand for what is right, to stand in the way of those who finance them ?
