Do u think if everyone owed a gun ,crime would dissappear?

Roseknows

No. Crime would not disappear whether we all had guns or nobody had guns.

Crime is everywhere all the time. It is like life. Nobody is ever going to stop crime. No matter what we do, how we organize ourselves as a society, no matter how much we conform to the laws and edicts of our culture, there is always going to be crime. Whether it is jaywalking or murder, there are always going to be people in this world who do not color inside the lines.

No too many inbred retard drunks pulling it out at a pool table over 5 bucks or drug addicts robbing old people for their fix.

No. My Dad owned a gun for protection. He had it for yrs. Only time he ever used it was to commit suicide.

i dont think it would though i understand that u say so based on the psycological views...
it might be too a high risk to give it a try.......

this might damaged the whole world!

NO.. every body would just be shooting every one for what they want pure anarchy would arise

Ghost1980

absolutely!!! well i don't think crime will ever dissapper, but it would help, there is a county in northern arizona that lets you walk down the street and carry, the only two things are that you can not enter a federal building or a bank with them and they have to be visilbe if you don't have a concellers license, i've been there its like the old west, and they have the least crime per capita in the u.s.

Crime will never dissapear.. no matter what...

As for your question, if all states were to pass concealed carry laws, then it's highly likely that crime rates would fall. They may rise initally, but eventually (within a few years) fall

tomika

NO It would cause it.

Makaveli

Hell nall everyone would end up dead

Not until enough people were killed. I know that I have gotten pissed off enough before that if I was carrying a loaded gun I can think of a few people I would have liked to of shot.

That is a tough question maybe women should be aloud to own guns and men shouldnt because it seems like most crimes with guns involved are by men and women need them to protect themselves because their physically weaker. And I am a guy to admit this.

emclean

the crime would be reduced. look at the difference between where you can't legally carry a gun and where you can. the carry states tend to have lower crime rates.

guns do not course or cure crime, they are a tool. unless you get rid of the root causes of the crime it will not disappear.

No, just more accidents with guns and children

Toff

no, but i think it would decreas, because if somene, for example, stole from your house, you would shoot them, and people would think, hey, if i steal, i get killed, so more people would realize, this is a bad idea!

Everyone must be accountable and responsible if ever one owns a gun. A gun is not a toy to make fun to everyone. Remember life is a very precious gift from God. We only live once and we must have to live it right. Save lives, live peacefully.

A gun should only be given to authorized and legally qualified individuals.

do you feel safer just because every geratic patient can own a car?...how about baseball bat?.....its not about the tool, fool, its about state of mind and checking your own reality, if u need a gun just to feel safe, move to great britan where the bobbie all wear machine guns and u can be a subject of the crown...course just take a look at the crime stats

~Fatally~

No crime wouldnt disapear..people would tho.

Frank Castle

In Mexico guns are Illegal and the number of murders by a gun is too low (If you Compare them to the United States of America)

Therefore guns should be banned. (Except hunting guns)

Chrissy

thats a negative....have you ever seen those crazy people walking down the road...just imagine. All it would take is for you to tell them you have no change and BANG.

On the other side of this....we would all feel safer. But I do not think it would reduce crime. Some people out there won't care if you have a gun or not....they will have 3 for every 1 gun you have.

â™¥micheleâ™¥

I think there would be a lot more accidents and people shooting people out of anger. It would defeat the purpose of being safer.

Good question though!

Biker

I believe so.
Criminals prey on what they perceive as the weak.
They know that a honest person is more afraid of going to jail than they are so yes I would have to say it would work.

netjr

Not everyone, but more would be good.

There is a book out called, "More Guns Less Crime." You should take a read on it. The author set out to prove the exact opposite, but reported what was true in his findings.

If more well trained people carried firearms we might reduce crime some. Not everyone though.

Einsteinetta

Probably not.

I think people would think twice before breaking into your home. But I also think some people would be trigger-happy and violent. So they'd probably cancel each other out and we'd end up with the same amount of violence we have now.

Da Ben Dan

I think if nobody owned guns...crime might disappear....but I'm Canadian and we don't have as many guns here(or gun related crimes).

tvballer6327

no we would just start stealin each others guns or their bullets

Speedfreak

A good number of criminals would certainly be meeting their maker. Not a bad deal, eh? Fear of losing one's life can be quite a deterrent.

werk2much2000

You managed to get two questions in there...

One...no...all crime would not dissapear. There will always be those amongst us that would rather take then earn.

Two...Yes...we would be somewhat safer. I for one know that I prevented an assult on myself and my family because the guy wasnt sure I had a gun or not. What he saw was a rather large leather case on my belt under my T-shirt that he mistook for a holster.

No Way. Instead of 30,000 gun related deaths in the USA each year, there would be hundreds of thousands of deaths

Huevos Rancheros

Not really. I believe in the right to have guns, but crimes are changing. People are stealing identities not stereos nowadays. How would owning a gun stop that? What homes need now are good security systems. What would work also is the death penalty for all felony crimes, on the first offense. That way there would be no second offenses anywhere and people would think real hard before doing any crimes in the first place.

caly925

i have the right to bear arms if you break into my house you will be shot if you can get past the dogs trying to tear off your legs...but there's idiots that shoot at each other ,,this is a problem across America with out children and gangs...if you are gonna own a gun take safety lessons and shooting lessons to know how to service and clean your guns,,,and invest in child proof locks and safes for storage
