What's your opinion of gun control?

[BADecker]

Why black Americans are demanding their gun rights, even while oppressive liberal mobs ...

Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic status and levels of education are fed up with Nanny State liberalism, Left-wing Marxism, and the Democratic Party in general when it comes to their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, as was demonstrated recently at a city council meeting in North Carolina.

While speaking during a meeting of the Greensboro council on the topic of curbing gun violence, Mark Robinson, who is black, blasted members over their desire to possibly cancel an upcoming bi-annual gun show that is held at a local venue.

"When are you all gonna start standing up for the majority? … I'm the majority! I'm a law-abiding citizen who's never shot anybody," Robinson railed. "It seems every time we have one of these shootings, nobody wants to put the blame where it goes, which is at the shooter's feet. You want to put it at my feet! It doesn't make any sense."

"You want to restrict my right to buy a firearm and protect myself from some of the very people you are talking about in here tonight," Robinson continued. "The law-abiding citizens of this community, of other communities, we are the first ones taxed and the last ones considered."

Warming up, Robinson got into it. He noted that elected officials and anti-gun liberals who seek to make it harder or even impossible in some cases for American citizens like him to engage in their right to self-defense make it easier for the criminal element to kill more people more easily.

"It's ridiculous," he said. "I don't think ["Twilight Zone" creator] Rod Serling could come up with a better script."

Robinson dropped more truth bombs. While admitting that he and other law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns if the law required it, "the Crips and the Bloods" — violent street gangs — "are gonna hold onto theirs. And what do you think is gonna happen when you send the police down there to take them?" (Related: Rapper Killer Mike warns that Democrats' gun-grabbing will "progress us into slavery.")

He noted that the police department was already short-handed, overworked, and — importantly — mocked and derided as racist, bigoted, and inherently unfair. He said that the council, and other liberals, seek to demonize the police "while making the criminals victims."

He's right, of course. On every point.

Not that the America Left cares, mind you. They don't. Guns-and-crime facts don't matter to them. Statistics don't matter. Heck, even certain constitutional rights don't matter.

But they should matter, and that was the ultimate point that Robinson was making.

You can take away a right — or limit it so severely that it may as well not exist — but that doesn't take away threats. That won't make the city of Greensboro safer. It won't dispel or disable the criminal element.

In ancient Greece and Rome, the only category of population that did not have the right to purchase and carry weapons with them was slaves, the most deprived part of the population. All other segments of the population of ancient Greece and Rome (and the rich and the poor) had the right to acquire and bear arms.

[ExoticMotors]

No need for it. Without them nobody can protect anyone anymore. It's an essential part to the human civilization in this day and age. We might as well go back to hunting and gathering our own food supply.

But the rights you are talking about, were forced rights. The slave had the right to fight for his freedom in any way he wanted. This didn't guarantee his success. But he had the right to fight.

Guns in the hands of everyone help to reduce slavery.

But everything is covered by chemtrails. This means that poisons are in either the garden or the hunted/gathered food.

Is it time for us to turn our guns on the planes that spray the chemtrails?

gun control is indispensable. and I think people who have guns are just authorities. if the weapons are not in control it will be very dangerous for example if there is a demo in the country and people use gun to fight this officer will take a lot of casualties. so in my opinion the weapon needs to be in control

That is the point of America. Why should government people be the authorities? Rather, let everybody have guns so that everybody can be the authority.

[Trollinator]

My opinion is that it is the only logical solution to the violence that we see occurring in the United States. I’m personally not opposed to owning weapons; it is a right guaranteed to every citizen by the constitution. However, background checks that are effective must be written into law to keep unstable people from owning firearms.

Background checks are already in place, but the problem is that due to the bureaucratic hassle, sometimes mistakes are being made. Even then, I would like to point out one important thing. The vast majority of the shootings within the United States has occurred in Democrat states such as California and Oregon, where strict gun laws are in place.

[mikisami]

Every country should have a gun control law.
It is really important that young people doesn't habe access to those weapons  without a supervisor. They have to go to shooting center to understand the impact of this weapon.
We learn to our children that fire is dangerous, but fire can be also beautiful .... so why it is difficult to learn to them that if you use a weapon you should to it with discernment

[Lakash]

I really think gun control is very important. especially in today’s society. there should be enough rules and regulations for gun holders. not all applicants should be given license to have guns.

[Ayaah]

gun control is very important. there should be specific guidelines for people wanting have a position if guns. in today’s world, there have been a couple of incidents involving guns. there should be strict limitation of individuals to have guns.

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?

There should be a strict regulations for people having guns and/or people wanting to have guns. it is very important that there should be gun control in every cities and countries. might as well, there should be strict implementatiin of rules pertaining to gun possition.

The problem with your thinking is that gun control simply doesn't pop into existence. Rules don't make it happen, because there are always people who break the rules. Force doesn't make it happen, because the gun is a very strong force, and the only way somebody can enforce gun control is by using guns to do it. If you think that government or the police or the military only use their guns to help people, just ask the people of Iran, Iraq, or Syria. Some might agree, but there are many that wouldn't. Consider the below:

WATCH: ‘I’ll Break Your Arm!’ Says Cop As Police Strip Woman Topless in Waffle House Arrest

Residents are outraged and the NAACP has stepped up after a graphic video from inside an Alabama Waffle House has gone viral showing a violent police struggle with a young woman. During the violent encounter, the woman's breasts were exposed.

Highlighting how unnecessary the escalation of violence was, the entire incident was sparked over plastic utensils. According to witnesses involved in the incident, 25-year-old Chikesia Clemons was inside Waffle House with a friend and had placed an order when they were told they would have to pay $0.50 extra for the plastic utensils.

After being told she would have to pay for the utensils—something that is largely available for free at most restaurants—Clemons and her friend Canita Adams questioned the charge, noting that they did not have to pay for them the night before.

Gun control is one issue. the other main issue is to get rid of the fear culture that exist in white America. I dont think people buy a gun first and then fear for their safety afterwards, its usually this fear first that cause someone to buy guns.

The idea that someone can break in and kill and rape your family at any time, the idea that colored people are a menace and you need a weapon to protect yourselves against them.

Once we get rid of the fear culture then many will warm to gun control.

Absolutely correct! But the only way to get rid of fear, is to get rid of all the bad things that happen. Unfortunately, because people harm their fellow people using fists, knives, clubs, and medical lies way more than they do with guns, fear will never go away.

A 250 pound rogue cop can easily mug and murder a 90 pound granny. But if Granny has a gun, she has a chance.

[maksimukr1989]

I think weapons should be banned.do you want to shoot go to the shooting gallery.Weapons should be in the hands of the police and the army.

The vast majority of the shootings within the United States has occurred in Democrat states such as California and Oregon, where strict gun laws are in place.

There are more firearm death because the population of California is higher than most red states, but in terms of Firearm deaths per 100,000 people it is 43rd. The top 10 are.... yes... all RED STATES with loose gun laws.

Many of the illegal guns used in strict gun law areas were imported by criminals who got them legally in states without strict rules such as Indiana and Tennessee. What does that prove? That proves gun control actually WORKS. Criminals have to go else where for guns, had neighboring states had gun control there what would happen...?!

Absolutely correct! But the only way to get rid of fear, is to get rid of all the bad things that happen. Unfortunately, because people harm their fellow people using fists, knives, clubs, and medical lies way more than they do with guns, fear will never go away.

A 250 pound rogue cop can easily mug and murder a 90 pound granny. But if Granny has a gun, she has a chance.

Someone with a gun doesn't have a better chance of survival. Granny with a gun probably has almost no chance just the same as when she has no gun if she is met with someone who wants to do her harm in a surprise ambush.

Do you want a good example of this? Look no further than American Sniper Chris Kyle. He and a friend are trained military vets with guns on their belts and had far more training than any of us can get. Both men were shot dead in a place where they both knew the killer would have access to a gun and has some PTSD issues. Neither even had a chance to draw their weapon with knowledge that it could be a dangerous situation.

So, what is Granny supposed to do? Sneeze at her antagonist and hope that will stop him? Holler "help! help!" and wait for the police to arrive? Use a squirt gun?

Years ago there were a whole lot of cowboy shows on TV. Often there were gunfights where gunfighters faced each other on the street. Whoever was the fastest draw and the best shot was the winner. There are still scenes and shows of gunfights being portrayed in different cities in America for show.

Now imagine in one of those shows that the good, law-abiding guy didn't have a gun because of gun control. He is out there on the street in a gun-drawing stance, but doesn't have a gun. The bad guy has a gun, because he is a bad guy.

You are kinda ignorant, aren't you. Granny may not have a chance under any circumstances. But she has far less of a chance if she has no gun. If she only wounds her assailant before she dies, it's much easier for any witness to pick the guy out from the line-up. Granny has a far better chance with a gun, and with a gun she is helping all the innocent people who are attacked, by example, even if she dies.
