One of the dumbest things I've seen all day and I just came from the court house.

No Gun Lock on, I'm assuming,a loaded weapon (otherwise why would you need it there?) is just asking for someone to roll over and get shot.

Why are americans so keen on guns?
More civilians get shot in america every year than the entire rest of the world put together.
When it makes it possible for kids to play with their parent's guns and shoot themselves or their friends, how can that be good?
Why do you see people supporting the right to bear arms after school shootings and other outrages?
It makes violent crime easier. It is easier and less frightening to point a gun at someone while robbing them. Having to use a knife makes you think about the action and consequences more. It is too easy to pull a trigger when in the grip of an adrenalin rush and is harder to survive getting shot than being stabbed.

Not trying to america-bash, just genuinely curious.

An armed man is a potential murderer, accidentally or deliberately.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

Is about common sense.

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

Few people are truly free.

The rest of them did though.

And sensible people.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

Less dead people.

16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

Nonsense. Armed criminals shoot to kill.

17. 911 - government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.

18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.
And facilitated by guns.

19. Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer.

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.

Or because of greed or because it makes their job easier.

22. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.

23. Enforce the "gun control laws" we ALREADY have, don't make more.

24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

And a lot less dead people.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

26. "A government of the people, by the people, for the people..."

Yeah right!

good try but major wrong. more people are shot with guns in the ME and Africa then in the US. are there a lot of gun related deaths in the US, yes. there are also a lot more violent crimes in the US then most civilized nations too. does that mean we should ban knives and cars too?

http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:L0worCsFQdcJ:www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810791.PDF+number+of+people+killed+by+cars+in+the+USA+2006&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

as proof that more people are killed by cars then guns in the US. so we should ban all vehicals from the road as they are more dangerous then guns.

get off it. guns do not kill. it requires people to SHOOT the gun in order for it to kill someone. removing guns from people who are responsible will NOT drastically reduce the number of gun deaths in the US, or any place for that matter. heck in the UK it is almost impossible to own a hand gun, yet they are used all the time to kill people there. hmm has not stopped the bad guys there from killing people with guns, so what makes you think it will stop people in the US?

get off it.

I think I got that information from some michael moore type thing and may be wrong.
But the fact remains that if guns weren't so easily acquired then less people would die. If they harder to get hold of less criminals will be able to use them. And even responsible people get pissed off. If there is a gun in the house, there is more chance they're gonna use it while pissed off (and possibly drunk)
Don't know why you brought cars into the equation. Most aren't bought as weapons.
And no, guns aren't used all the time in the uk. Yes, we do have gun crime, but it is a small percentage of all crimes. They are becoming more common, but it's not like you can just go and buy one from a store like in the US.

Ok. Riddle me this. Exactly how are you going to "form a militia" if you're not allowed to own firearms beforehand?

The difference between militias and "regular soldiers" is that militias are made up of average citizens who, when a need arises, form into militias in order to deal with the situation. Many have argued that the stated purpose in the amendment of the need for "well regulated militias" means that you must form the militias *first* and then hand out weapons to them or something. But that's inherently contradictory to the definition of a militia.

The correct interpretation is that in order for the citizens to be able to form "well regulated militias" they first have to be allowed to own weapons. Then, if they need to, they can form those militias. The first part is not a requirement on the second. It's actually the other way around. You must allow private citizens to own firearms if you ever want for them to be able to form those militias. Requiring them to form into regular units *first* effectively puts the control of who can own weapons into the hands of the government since it presumably would be determining what qualifies as a "well regulated militia". That's clearly not the intent of the amendment, so that interpretation should be chucked out, yet many people still stick to it like it makes some kind of sense.
