Gun control?

Question

What is your opinion? Should the government put stricter guidlines on buying guns? Should the government have that right?

Answer 1

A short time before Saddam Hussein started mass killing his people, he took away their gun rights so they couldn't fight back.  If we did that, someone would most likely try to seize power.  Also if someone invaded the motherland, guns and swords could be useful in fighting back (and probably saving peoples lives).

Answer 2

I'm against gun control.  As long as a person passes a background check, they should be allowed to have them.  After all, the criminals already have them & use them for other than what they were intended for, right?  Gun laws are only followed by honest people, so when you inact more control, do you think it affects the criminals?

If banning guns made a difference then how do you explain what's happening in Washinton DC?  Guns are illegal there, yet they have probably the highest violent crime & murder rate in the country.  Compare that to states that have more relaxed gun laws.

An honest person isn't going to break into your house, rob you on the street or shoot at police when they get pulled over.

Answer 7

Almost every household in my area has several guns.

We have no crime to speak of. Just petty stuff. Had one fatal shooting about 15 years ago but it was drug related so blame drugs, not guns.

So no gun control.

Answer 8

No. The right to keep and bear arms is not just for militias and if the court says it is I will start a militia. Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.

Answer 9

Why get new laws they just need to enforce the ones that are already in place.

The way the laws are set up now if you have a criminal record or mental problem (documented) it is next to imposible to get a gun legally and the sentence a person whould get for buying a gun illegally or selling a gun illegally or using a gun in the commission of a crime would be enough to get rid of them off the streets for most of their adult life.

The problem is we dont hold people to the proper sentence for using a gun in a crime, buying or selling a gun illegally and we dont enforce gunshops being prosecuted for not filing and submitting the proper paperwork when selling a gun.

The problem isnt guns in the hands of honest people it is guns in the hands of criminals and by definition criminals won't care if you make a law. They break them so the only one punished is the people who abide by the law.

I agree with the person making the point about DC. Threy have the strictest (unconstitutional( gun control laws in the country yet they have one of the worst crime records. Go then to places in NC where if you legally own a gun you can strap it on and wear it around town (as long as it is in plain sight) you can keep a loaded gun in your car as long as it is in plain sight and if you get a concealed carry permit you can carry it concealed. When I lived there I never had to lock my doors on my house or car. I remember running into stores to get a loaf of bread and leaving the car running and coming back and finding it right where I left it.

People who kill other people find a way to do it no matter what laws are in effect. When I lived in the UK there is a town called Hull in north yorkshire. Knife crime is rampant there why becuase the guns are hard to get. They just use a different weapon.

Criminals are criminals always have been and always will be. No law will legislate their morality

Answer 10

NO!!!!

Second Amendment

God help us all if the Supreme LIBERAL Court sets back gun right 200 years

Answer 11

I'm for stuff like background checks and waiting periods, but if you're not a criminal or insane, I think you should be able to buy guns.
