Must be nice.</div> In the over 50 years of nuclear weapons....there's only been one thats been used towards another country. Nuclear weapons are a weapon for show more than anything. Nobody thinks of attacking a country with a nuclear weapon. Thats why North Korea and Iran want them so bad, they aren't stupid enough to shoot one off, they simply want to be a longterm nuclear power like Russia, China, India. The threat of nuclear weapons is overrated by the media. They are a last resort, and obviously the use of them will not be tolerated by the US/Israel...etc...So no country would dare use one.
Whoever said that people arent be murdered as much anymore is completely wrong. Every other day I hear about a murder that happened in Memphis...but unfortunely, more will probably happen if people didnt protect themselves. Criminals are going to get guns...hell, criminals who HAVE guns now are probably still illegal...believe me, if we could rid of guns forever...I would do it..I dont like guns by no means...but its a dog eat dog world...and thats how your mentality has to be like.

I like the right to bear arms, but not when the person bearing it is a f*cking lunatic who will just pull out his gun impulsively, and usually those people are young blacks.And it doesn't seem like there's a big right to speech anymore either. If you speak out against lesbians, you have f*cking rosie o'donnel bitching non stop and all the other gay activists and such. I mean, it's like, you can speak your mind, but if it's remotely offensive, then you can't. Complexity is society's biggest problem.

I love my gun, my dad has his handgun, hunting rifle and M16 from Vietnam. I shouldn't be allowed to own them because a bunch of hoodrats in Milwaukee kill people with them? Sorry.

Just because it shows you are a coward?<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Quit saying that it's not true. The violent cities have gun control laws. Gun control laws didn;t make the violent cities..christ.I'm not concerned with crime. Crime will happen regardless. Killing people with a gun will not happen regardless. Your packing "soft crime" into this ban on guns.I want to ban guns to save lives...not reduce the amount of robberys ETC(though it will)...so any point in that matter should be put to rest.A gun ban will save lives. less people will die.That is enough for me.</div>So you admit, guns are not the problem, crime and violence are the problems.Do you not have it packed into your head that there is absolutely no way to eliminate guns? You could save a tiny amount of lives, but is that worth it to take away them from the people who hunt/use for recreation/have for self defense?But I guess that is the socialist way of thinking. If one person does something wrong, EVERYONE gets punished.
If ONE person does something wrong? Man I would love to debate this, but give me something to actually debate here. Canada has 3 times LESS murders(1 person is murdered there for every 3 here..that's a huge number) then we have in the united states. Don't tell me it's not possible to make some progress with this. It's far less then one person doing something wrong. I take it you don't watch the news much?You can't go hunting with a bow and knife? Is it that hard to learn how to shoot one or is everybody to lazy to learn?I understand it would be impossible to ELIMINATE guns. But you can try, and 2/3 less people will be murdered because of it. You can try to argue otherwise but I don't see how.Your argument is basically I want my gun to hunt and shoot cans in the backyard, so I don't want a ban on guns. That's damn selfish to me when you think about how many lives would be saved.

Canada has 3 times less murders because they have less population if you aren't talking rates. If you are talking rates, it goes back to the crime/violence aspect. We need to fix the root of the problem. Not just say "Guns are the problem. Take them away and everything will be alright".It's like when a person sues McDonalds because they spilled hot coffee on themselves. They blame the coffee, not their stupidity and recklessness. People blame the guns, not the overwhelming crime and violence in the inner cities.
I am talking rates, not anything having to do with population. 2 per every 100,000 in Canada. 6 per every 100,000 in the USA.I don't care WHO is to blame. Again, the bottom line is less people die with a ban on guns. That's it, end of story..why does there have to be a but? That's not enough for you?Guns are power. You give people power and they'll use it. Take the power away and they can't use it. So while yes, it's the person pulling the trigger who's fault it is.why not take the trigger away from them so they can't pull it?
Sorry if I'm confused, but I don't think Canada has one third of the United States poor black population, or one tenth our number of illegal aliens/gang members from South America....thats why Canada doesn't have our shooting death numbers.

That's the fault of not having the same amount of crime/poverty.Guns cause crime like spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat.

Without food we die. People eat to much and they kill themselves. Nobody kills them...they kill themselves..that is THEIR choice and I could care less if they make the decision that food is more important then their lives.We don't need guns. Guns kill things...that's what they're for.See ya.

It's absolutely not fair to punish law-abiding citizens just because some kids shoot each other up in the inner cities. Here are some facts that show that Gun Control just won't work. But I know you'll just say "Well, guns kill things." And "Well that was just written by a bunch of hicks who want to go shoot cans in their back yard."http://www.gunfacts.info/pdfs/misc/flyer/G...olBrochure6.pdfhttp://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/gunfacts.shtmlhttp://www.mcsm.org/britsban2.htmlhttp://www.gunsandammomag.com/second_amendment/rk0405/http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123606 (#5)Get to posting some stats and facts. You can't be destroying someone when you are just spewing your own mind.Guns are essential. How many people out west do you think get their food through hunting? How do farmers humanely and efficiently kill their livestock to ship to markets? You can't expect these people to switch to bow and arrow or something. The cost would rise up and it would take so much more work to do.
