Should guns be banned from civilian use?!?

CHUCKY!

No. I have already had to protect myself and my family from an intruder who wanted to rob us and molest my daughter. I shot him right in the knee cap and should have shot him in the head, I have a permit so I got a large fine but no time in jail. He tried to sue me but I won thank god..

Quite the opposite. Everyone should carry. People would be a lot more polite.There would be some thinning of the gene pool. But crime statistics would drop immediately.

Not only no, but hell no, I have had guns since I was 9 years old, I am 60 now and have never causes harm to another human, and besides if the military and the police are the only one with guns the country will be in big trouble. BTW, I am a democrat for all you repukes out there.

No. Even though I don't own a gun or want one I think it is your right to bear arms it's in the constitution. Many believe flag burning should be banned but is not. Even though thats an expression not a spoken word.

proudpreemieparents

No, see the Second Amendment.

dickn2000

NO!!

Mrs. House 3

No!

It is our right protected by our Constitution that we reserve the right to bear arms. If anything, the law should allow us to shoot anyone who comes into our home with criminal intent, without the possibility of facing punishment.

The only protection that a person has is to be armed.
In the first place, it is impossible to make it stick. What is it with you people who cannot understand what "Shall not be infringed" This country was founded and has progressed in the manner it has because of the Bill of Rights which no other government on Earth has.

Your question is asinine, Stupid and totally without reason. The attempts do disarm the American people have been going now for over 60 years, and it is all Propaganda, Most of the Media tries to sell the Idea that Guns cause crime. Well let me tell you; If Guns cause crime, then pencils cause errors in writing.

The Constitution spells it out: The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What is it about that simple phrase that you do not understand.
Your type is a danger to every free citizen in this country. There: You asked the question, now you live with the Answer.

I just read that post about bears in Urban Areas. Urban Areas would be safer with bears roaming the streets than they are with the 30,000 gang members in Los Angeles county alone. He obviouslly gets his opinions from a box of Crackerjack)

No the right to own firearms is a natural right, it is one that you get because you are born. It is not something for Liberals to give or take away. The people who wish to take firearms away are the reason the 2ND amendment exists

I do not think the guns are the problem. First, guns do not kill people, people kill people. Eliminating guns from civillian use will not reduce crime.

Secondly, if civilian ownership of firearms is made illegal, then only law-biding citizens will give up their firearms. Thus still leaving weapons in the hands of people who would use them for crime.

Gun control is not the answer. Education is.

Not in my country. American citizens have a right to bear arms. It is in our Constitution/Bill of Rights. You must be from the UK!

People who abuse guns usually have obtained them illegally anyhow so gun laws are useless. The laws have not done much to limit misuse of weapons but have kept law abiding citizens from protecting themselves because of lack of willpower to go through all the paperwork.

No I am a hardcore Liberal and I could care less if people have guns. In fact I think with Bush and Co. in office we should all have guns to protect us from new terrorist that he created. Hell I don`t care if people want to fire off some ordnance which takes two people to use as long as they are trained and safe approved spot.

alanninn

no ,why would you not want to protect yourself from the government taking over?

cyclops

No it violates our second amendment. Don't you know that or
are you just another do gooder trying to protect us ?

nickydig9

first of all, it would go against the bill of rights... plus guns don't kill people, people kill people... also if someone snuck into your home, who's a lot stronger then you; what would you do, try to hit him with a bat, we need guns as protection... people who use guns for the wrong reasons, will find some thing else to use, which means people who use guns against those "bad" people would have to find something else to use also= less effective....also if the gov. tried to take away the right to bar arms, think of all the bad stuff that will happen as a result= who knows, war, just chaos.... So NO

GreenHornet

I have had two experiences (in civilian life) when I could have been killed if I had not been armed.
All I had to do with one guy was pull back my jacket and show him a firearm; the other guy came crashing through my door , only to find a firearm pointed at his face. He left in a hurry.

where do you live, San Francisco?

You have got to be a liberal. Liberals don't understand that criminals and terrorists will always have guns.They do not care about laws. Making guns against the law will only disarm law abiding citizens that need protection against he criminals and terrorists.

I don't think they should be banned. They should be a lot harder to get. The punishment for not registering a hand gun should be a lot tougher.

joe b

So only criminals have them???? That's kind of stupid don't you think?

In other words, screw law abiding citizens and help the criminals....You must be a liberal.

Unfortunately, some dumb-as$ back in the day decided that everybody had a right to have a gun to protect themselves from...I don't know, bears. Obviously, there are no bears in urban areas anymore so it's just an outdated law. And no, I don't think guns should be banned from civilian use, but I think it should be banned from citizen's use. There's a difference.
