Before women voting = wtf. Now women voting = ok. Guns have been much more stubborn when it comes to leaving the United States. We were behind Europe on abolition of slavery, women voting etc. and we are behind on guns. I believe in about 150 years we will catch up. Sadly the nationalism associated with supporting the constitution translates to loving guns for many Americans. None of the arguments being presented here put forth this retarded viewpoint. Get the fuck out with your strawman fallacies, please. | ||

Thanks for taking my comments completely out of context, not reading with any comprehension whatsoever, and then acting immaturely. If you had any education on world history whatsoever, you would understand why gun control worked for Hitler, Castro, Qaddafi, Stalin, Idi Armin, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong-Il. But you don't, so you're going to perpetually mis-quote everything anyone says, and then proclaim that the thread is "garbage," as if you've demonstrated intelligence worthy of being in a position to judge much of anything, much less pass judgment on anything. And this debate has turned from argument to personal flames. How sad and immature. I see no reason to counter your insults. But I would also like to thank you for not addressing any part of the points I made. It makes me feel I'm right. | ||

People need to understand that many of the statistics used to support gun control are skewed in some way, thus creating a bias. For example, the crime rate in England was relatively low compared to the US before gun control was implemented. After gun control was implemented, the crimes rates did rise, albeit not by a significant amount. All gun control will do is leave an entire population disarmed. It would be shooting fish in a barrel for the criminals. Like was previously stated, outlawing firearms means the only people with firearms are the outlaws themselves, thus leaving the law-abiding citizens to be completely defenseless. | ||

We are one of the only countries with any reference to fire arms in our constitution. I claim this is one of the reasons some remain attached to them. People have a love of the constitution. I personally love the majority of it. A logical step is guns = constitution = good. Do you see it? It's right there. | ||

Picking one Amendment out of many to single out seems a little hasty, considering that Americans love all freedoms recognized by the Constitution. I, however, will not ever give up the right to self-preservation. It must be forcibly taken from me. | ||

Do you see it? It's right there. Guns are really only one piece of your constitution, so it equaling it isnt exactly true. It is true your constitution mentioned firearms, but that is only one of the sections of it. If someone does the step guns = constitution = good would mean they don't care about the document in entirety, and instead the part that lets them carry around weapons. I look at this as kinda a dumb argument, with this day and age, guns will be around, all that is required is gun control that is stricter in a sense of "you cant have automatic weapons" but letting people still have their rifles and hand guns. Just make sure your system is one that works decently and realize that people will still obtain automatics illegally, or the like. The answer isnt remove all weapons, or let everyone have what they want its moderation. Give access to the ones that can be used in recreational fun, not the ones that are specifically designed with killing other people as the purpose. | ||

You know what's super awesome about the constitution? It's not immutable. The architects of the constitution were keen to cultural change, and knew better than to impose their temporal 'druthers in an absolute manner. That's how you can love the constitution without dogma. It is quite an impressive piece of work, actually. But your statement seeks to exploit the polarization of patriots as "righties" and flag-burners as "lefties". I consider you a casualty of the media. | ||

What I do know: - It was illegal for him to possess an AK-47 - It was illegal for him to possess hand grenades - Laws didn't stop him Once again, the laws did nothing to prevent a criminal's behavior. This is why gun control will not work. | ||

I acknowledge many of you points and support many of them. Gun control legislation in the United States has not produced results. I don't think it will work. You are right here. I HAVE acknowledge this. I don't like the static nature of unrestricted gun use in a country when many others are outlawing them. I have only stated I wish we could move away from them, and gun control is part of this effort. | ||
