Given that our government can't protect us from criminals, many of whom are immigrants ...?

MH/Citizens Protecting Rights!

We citizens, as well as our government, are charged with exercising due diligence to ensure that our laws are enforced and our government is properly run. More than arming all the citizens, if we would just enforce the laws we have on the books, there would be a substantial decrease in criminal activity. When laws are not enforced and there is no reasonable expectation that they will be enforced, these kinds of actions will continue to occur. When the laws are not enforced, then criminals have all the power.

I think it's a good idea for citizens to be armed and know how to use those weapons. However, I think it's a better idea to have our laws enforced and the criminals incarcerated. If we show the criminals that their actions will not be tolerated, the crimes committed will decrease substantially.

Defense, is widely believed --by intelligent people-- to be an effective and logical response to an attack.

Cowering in fear, while HOPING the cops arrive soon, resulted in over thirty deaths, at VA Tech, yesterday.

Ask ANY crime victim if they would have liked to have had a gun, at the time of their attack.

Your immigrant comment is a non-point. Americans kill Americans daily.

However, states that allow concealed carry of handguns have lower murder rates than the states that don't allow it. If a crazy gun toting killer wants to kill people, which situation is better: a school full of armed citizens or a school full of defenseless citizens?

Yes, if even a few of the potential victims had been armed, there would likely have been fewer total victims. Then again, there may also have been more smaller-scale shootings over the years - some perhaps in self-defense, others, perhaps in the heat of a moment that would otherwise have ended in a less-lethal form of violence.

Bear Arms

Every citizen of the United States of America has a natural born right to keep and bear arms. It's the Government who places such restrictions on this right that puts all of us in danger. If everyone carried a firearm LEGALLY, like a spare tire, it would be used just in case. If you choose not to carry, that's your life. Don't infringe on my right to self defense, I've never hurt anyone.

Of course it would have. That would be a huge social change, though.

Moonshadow

Yes we should. This is why We the people NEED our 2nd amendment rights, not to mention our 1st. Why is it big brother wants us to have nothing?
If I would have been in that classroom, the only dead person would have been the shooter!. Was he muslim or an illegal??

hera

Yes, it would have.

Peter...you would also be 300% more likely to have items stolen from you too.

I say is nothing related to his legal status in the US what he did.
I say he has mental problems.
That can happen to anyone.
Don't matter to their status.

I've seen a sh*t load of american criminals, that were born in teh states.

Timothy Mcveigh, Jeffory Dohmer, Ted Bundy,
Green River Killer, Gracie, Charles Manson,

and believe me the list doesn't stop there.

I think they should have better campus security.

I,m all for the right to bear arms, but there are just some people who should never have them, ever.

Why not do the opposite? Ban all guns. Take out the constitutional provision of having the right to bear arms. The Native Indians will definitely agree with you that most of the crimes were done by "white face" and other non-aboriginal US citizens.

we would have murders daily. everytime you were frightened, confused or someone disagreed there would be potential for violence.

I always knew that the wild west would come back. People with your (USA) genetic makeup are sure to kill and eliminate each other. I think the English ,after exporting you, thought you could accomplish that much sooner

Drake

Actually you dope immigrants are commiting less crimes per peson than natural born citizens. Look it up.

Peter K

More guns? You haven't learned your lesson yet. Guns are banned in the UK and you are 35 times less likely to be shot in the UK than the USA.

angela k

i'm sorry....i'm not sure i'm reading this correctly!
are you saying that when everyone has guns, then all our problems will be solved????!!!!
are you serious man!!!!????
you don't think if more citizens possesed guns, then more people will be solving their personal problems with guns???!!!
please!!!
and what the hell does immigrants have to do with this? do you believe that immigrants are the only ones who committ crimes???!!! i watch the news everyday my friend, and I can affirm that there are just as many American criminals as there are immigrant criminals!!!

Gary J

So your asking if we should go back to the days of the old west, where everyone wares a side arm. Would that fix our problems, or add more.

Mellivora

I think crimes commited by illegals are relatively lower in comparison to those commited by people born & raised here... protesting for better policing in america would be more appropriate..

IloveJesustoo

Timothy Mcbay, Columbine....They're immigrants too, but from a while ago...you're right..these darn immigrants..
