Do you believe that people have a right to own a gun?

Question

tell me why my fellow americans (and UK and umm ah canada)

Answer 1

Yes and it is one of our constitutional rights as americans.  I'd like to be able to protect myself in my home from an intruder.

Answer 2

Yes I do, Guns do a lot of good and puts criminals in there place or in the grave!!!

Answer 3

Yes i believe you have the right to own a gun...for self defense and to protect ones property if necessary.  Semi automatic weapons no...there is no need for that.  

Answer 4

Yes, so long as one is not convicted of a Felony.

U.S. Constitution, Amend. 2 (1791).

Answer 5

yes, I do.  

Answer 6

Yes I do. People have the right to defend themselves and their family.

Answer 7

Well they do in the USA and probably in Canada as well. This is a "right" that came to us from the pioneer days when America was destroying the Native Americans at every corner, and were getting arrows in their backsides.

But since almost everyone has a gun now it makes no sense to be the only guy on the block without one. You never know when those dratted redskins will be back to sack your village. (LOL)

Answer 8

Yes, why? Cuz it's my friggen constitutional right. >:/

Answer 9

The question is not one like, "do you beleive in Santa Clause?"  In the USA people have a legal right to own an gun in most instances.

Whether or not you beleive it.

Is it right, yes.

Answer 10

yes, because it is a constitutional right. and it drives down violent crime.  There have been studies on the effects of putting permitted 'concealed carry' laws in effect.  The bad guys have guns anyhow, so making it legal for the law abiding means bad guys can't be sure their victim won't be armed.

As for our second amendment, that was to keep the government in line.

Answer 11

I live in a town where one of the laws is that every head of household must own a gun. Of course not EVERYONE has one but the crime rate is extremly low here... also, if someone breaks into your house, car or any other property, you have the right to defend your property even if it results in killing the intruder.... most people dont want to break in a house knowing that the person probably has a gun and can shoot them dead.... so yes, I think law abiding citizens should have be able to have a gun  

Answer 12

YES, I do.

Answer 13

No, I don't think Civvy's should own gun's. If you want to protect yourself you should do a Martial Art not use a gun. I'm sure people are going to be like "yeah but gangster's have them" Most of the Gangster's steal the weapon's during a house robbery. If all Civvy's didn't have gun's the police wouldn't have to worry about being out gunned. Or if they are aloud gun's they should only be aloud 9mm or something small.

But of course if you ban gun's now it's not going to change anything because there's already to wider access to firearm's. I just hope England and other countries see what's going to happen if they give everyone access to weapon's.
