I wouldn't say they should be banned but I agree with them being strictly regulated. There are crazy and dangerous people who shouldn't have access to them but they do. Guns should be used for self defense, not unnecessarily hurting people.
Which is why it's illegal to point a gun at someone and demand their wallet while it's legal for that robbery victim to defend themselves from that robber if they feel that they have no choice but to do so...
Given the mentality of a large proportion of people in the us, I doubt you could ban guns. And if you successfully did, it would take decades to reduce the overall gun count. The gangs would probably love it though and make large profits importing them.
they should be strictly regulated for sure but banning them would be absolutely ridiculous. Here where I am at you don't even need a permit to carry & the assholes know that & they know better than to go fuckin around with just anybody. Also if they banned them than we all better start learning Russian or Chinese or both
Second amendment was made when you had to use a ball bearing, gun powder and flint to shot someone, not when high powered fully automatic weapons were available.
Keep the guns needed for hunting a get rid of the rest. If you need an automatic high caliber gun to shoot a deer, you ain't no hunter
You're a fucking moron of the highest caliber.
Enlighten me
Despite the calls for gun bans, during the so called "protests" (riots), law abiding Americans were lining up around the block to purchase firearms.
If people say that guns are evil, then what makes a knife, or a pencil, or a hammer any better? It is not the tool that is evil, it is the person using it that makes it do evil things.
Some should be illegal to purchase or possess. Others should be difficult to obtain, with a mandatory multi-week class, home inspection to show proper storage, and strictly tracked gun purchases. Undocumented gun sales should be a serious offense.
Home inspection? What do you think this is North Korea?
@Fuentes Switzerland, IIRC.
If they banned guns do you really think criminals would turn their guns in? I think not.
No, our founding fathers knew exactly what they were doing. The Second Amendment is absolutely crucial to the survival of a free state and to the autonomy of good law-abiding citizens.
If you don't want to live where guns are legal you're welcome to move. 🤷🏼‍♀️
No banning guns wouldn't stop bad people from owning guns. It's just going to cause more problems for law abiding gun owners. As far as the 2nd amendment it would be suicide to do away with that.
Absolutely NOT!! That is a one way ticket to slavery! Exactly whst tje communists of the Democratic party wants! Ask 6 million Jews what hapoens when the government disarms a nation. Say it loud though... Hitler made sure they wouldn't be able to defend themselves!!
Anything that goes against the constitution is basically treason. Eliminating any Ammendment would be counterproductive. Criminals will never give up what they have. Never will I give up what I have. I have carried a firearm most of my adult life. Australia has no constitution and the government took away their firearms, same with GB. Look what goes on in those countries. Australia has gone into the 1930s nazism.
You should really have made this topic four choices. Where Americans get their two picks and the none Americans get two picks to see how the view differ.
No! Should there be a heavier background check? YES. Should there be a mandatory weapon training? YES. Should there be a mandatory mental and physical evaluation every 3 to 5 years? YES Banning weapons? Absofreakinglutely NOT!
If you ban guns criminals won’t follow that law just like they don’t follow all the other laws. But if you rather not have a tool to defend yourself I have no problem if you hand your firearm over to someone else that can defend themselves.
Making something illegal won’t stop its use… putting heavy restrictions or a ban on firearms would just lead to illegal and shady sale of the weapons, and a majority of the firearms in hands of people who’d go out of there way to break the law to get possession of them. This leads the average person at a defensive disadvantage to any offender with illegal firearms. A ban = net bad!
I think you shouldn't be allowed to vote unless you own a gun.
Criminals should not be the only ones with guns. Private citizens must be allowed to protect themselves.
I didn't really say criminals should be the only ones. I think no one should have guns. Literally no one.
Criminals are the ones who commits the most crimes with illegally owned guns. You can't just outright banned guns in the US for this reason. On average over 100,000 guns enter the US illegally each year due to the drug trade and gangs. If you banned legal guns , the flow of illegal guns into the US will continue at a higher rate and gun violence will not stop.
I agree with the opinion owner, criminals will get guns or make them no matter what. Because they are committed to their job.
And if the asker don't want guns, feel free to build a time machine and go back a few centuries where people had swords and arrows.
This is earth, it is impractical and illogical to hope for humanity to not have weapons.
We should build more.
I believe in guns and guns are a useful tool to defend yourself if in a serious threaten situation.
America just has a deep rooted morality problem that causes people to mis use guns for violence.
It doesn't matter what interview you think about if guns should be banned. Our constitution guarantees us that right.
Any of you not interview
Absolutely. The 2 main requirements for having a gun are valid reason and being of sound mind. The average American falls on both.
No, there are psychos and I’d like to protect myself. Thank you very much, maybe If we had a better system gun control could be a valid option but that’s not the case unfortunately
I don't really like gun deaths either but you need the second amendment otherwise the government will not fear the citizenry at all.
Those who voted for guns to stay legal in any sense obviously haven't lost a close relative due to gun violence.
I didn't realize rights were contingent on people's feelings.
People lose family members in car accidents all the time. Let's ban those too. Unhealthy food kills people. Let's get rid of that as well. Don't forget about alcohol. We should make drinking and driving illegal.
A gun is a tool of death and serious harm. If you look at it in any other way or try to compare it with food or vehicles then you are by far the stupidest GaG user. You need to rethink your life
I use my tools in many different ways. Recreational sport, protection, providing food, as a hobby I gunsmith and collect them. Your feelings do not supersede my rights as an American.
Also good luck removing your toe for 10k. Hahahahaha
I don't vote left or right. Both are flawed. You obviously don't even know what the Tea Party movement is. Also it would be loud minority. Silent majority would mean you think my politics are in the middle. You implied I'm political extreme and moderate in the same sentence. Yes, I am the fool here.
Actually, many of us have, which is why we want to defend ourselves rather than toss our guns into the fire, leaving only criminals with guns. Dummy
Well, a vehicle was recently used in Waukesha, WI to kill six and injure dozens.
The truth is the majority of my family owns guns to protect their homes and Id be lying if I said I didn't own one either. The difference between me and you bro is that I don't go out talking about owning one out loud for the world to hear (even on here) . I chose to keep that a secret because it makes me and those who know how to keep such personal info to ourselves. You have idiots on here parading their "I'm an American". "I have rights" bullshit speech... use your brain, not your loud mouth.
You aren’t coherent sniff you’re inconsistent.
Says he doesn't talk about owning guns. Says he owns a gun. Brilliant
Then get the Second Amendment repealed, and you'll see real quick just how many Americans actually want gun control.
Want and need are two different things.
I am not giving up mine ever. I am going to protect myself if needed.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I love when people reference the 2nd amendment because what you read is obviously not what I read. Are you perhaps part of any well regulated Militias that I am unfamiliar with? How often do you train alongside the military in the role that Militias are actually supposed to fulfill as irregular attachments?
Also for something dreamed up by politicians in 1791, considering how much the world not to mention warfare has changed since then should I believe that it is still working as intended without need for revision?
@Soteris And I love when people claim the dependent clause is the main point of the amendment. First, let's correct your thinking here. The amendments of the constitution do not grant rights to citizens. They outline the restrictions under which a government must operate. I have rights because I am a human being born on the earth.
So let's arrange the amendment in clearer English for you to understand. The right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed as a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state.
Any citizen could be called to serve in a militia. So therefore every citizen should understand how to use guns.
As to your last paragraph - they wouldn't have dreamt up technology that is still protected under the 1st, the 4th, and 5th amendments either. Rights aren't dependent on technology.
Ahahahaha! Oh you want to go that route? I can play that game too. Lets for the sake of argument go with the temporal and/or casual interpretation. In this case you are arguing that a "well regulated Militia" is necessary to the "security of the free State" and therefore "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" meaning that this statement is ONLY true for as long as a well regulated militia is necessary for the security of the free state.
The moment the Militia becomes unnecessary your gun rights flies out the window.
Now I want to hear your pathetic excuses why armed militias are somehow necessary for the security of USA given modern threats and warfare.
Also the other amendments have definitely been adapted over time to fit the ever changing reality we live in.
@Soteris Let's try this ONE more time. The constitution does not give me rights.
You mean the "The Bill of Rights" does not contain any rights given to citizens? Oh man, you are cracking me up here!
@Soteris That's exactly right. Listen, if you don't understand how the US constitution works, you should go sit down a bit.
inalienable rights are natural rights. Given to humans by God. Rights are not given by the government. You lefties really aren't too bright, are you.
First of all, Atheist thank you very much. Fuck your imaginary homicidal and morally bankrupt friend. Secondly, if you want to argue under such silly ideas as "Natural rights" then it honestly does not change the conversation in any way, shape or form. All it does is change it from "The 2nd Amendment gives Citizens rights" to "The 2nd Amendment prohibits the Government from" and going back to what I said earlier, if a militia is no longer required then it lifts the prohibition on the government from establishing gun control.
Same thing, different flavor text.
@Soteris ahaha go fuck yourself. No wonder you're an Atheist. It fits in with all your other loser personality traits.
A militia is always required. So fuck yourself again and try to take my guns if you're that mad about it.
Well spoken from a dying demographic group. I wonder when the first Atheist president will be elected?
On what basis should I assume a Militia is always required?
@Soteris come get my guns if you don't want me to have them or shut the fuck up.
Where did all your well spoken legal and philosophical arguments go? You sound like a whipped dog.
@Soteris I don't need them. I'm factually correct and backed up by the supreme court continually. You little wannabe dictators can't stand it.
I thought your rights did not come from the constitution but by a higher power? Where did the Supreme court come into the conversation when all they do is interpret the constitution?
@Soteris They've upheld the 2nd amendment. Stop being an idiot, please.
So if they had done differently then your god given rights could suck a big one?
@Soteris no, they confirmed what any normal person knows... unfortunately rights are constantly being threatened by shitstains like you.
... You just confirmed what I said. I mean I guess it progresses the conversation even if you are trying to be contrarian.
@Soteris It really doesn’t. But if it makes you happy, go for it. My offer is still on the table. Any time.
Why would I take your gun rights away from you? I am not your friend.
“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
@Soteris I want you to come take my gun away form me since you are so convinced i shouldn’t have them.
Oh yeah, you are definitely not mature enough to shoulder the responsibility of gun ownership. Giving a gun to you is a threat to society.
@Soteris too late, son.
You say it like its a loss for me. I live in Sweden, the fact that USA is crumbling before my eyes makes no real difference for me aside from some mild entertainment and the ability for the EU to grow in power. I might be telling you good advice but I am not here to save you nor am I invested in your success. Burn it all down for all I care.
@Soteris lol, nothing a little piece of shit socialist can tell me will make my life any better.
Spoken like a true addict.
@Soteris Addicted to winning and not being a cuck.
Ahahaha! Are you tired of winning yet?
@Soteris Are you tired of an immigrant rape epidemic in your country, yet?
I mean, immigration is probably the best thing that has ever happened to Sweden. They are law abiding and highly skilled and we dont even have to pay a fraction for them compared to nurturing and educating a similarly skilled natural born citizen. It is literally like turbo-boosting your economy not to mention its funding the welfare for everyone else.
@Soteris except for all the rapes. But small price to pay to be cucked in your own country.
Sweden dont have more rapes that what is average for a developed country in Europe. Try again.
@Soteris But I caught your low-key racism in your love of immigrants.
As opposed to your inability to read criminal statistics?
@Soteris lol, how’s the rate to the previous rate in Sweden?
About the same.
@Soteris weird. Because I understand sex attacks against teens are up 51% over 5 years according to the crime prevention council. I guess that’s made up.
No, you just dont know how to read criminal statistics, did you not already see me typing that? Are you perhaps unable to read English too?
@Soteris lmao. You really think I’m as stupid as you are.
No, I think you are stupid enough to fall victim to a silly technicality because you dont realize the definition of rape and the well known problems associated with it. Basically I believe you are stupid enough to walk into this trap without realizing how silly you are.
Soteris wants US to end up like Cuba so a communist dictator can rule the people. Tell them what to do and what they can say.
@888theGreat Yeah, that is exactly what a person with sane mind would say. Does not sound stark raving mad or anything.
@Soteris what I said was you , and yes you are a loon and a nut
@888theGreat Says the loon that crashes into the party like a drunk racist uncle yelling about CUBA! and COMMUNIST DICTATORS!
@Soteris what does racism have to do with it? What have I said that would make me a racist?
@888theGreat That’s exactly right. The eurofags can’t stand we’re in their way. He calls you a racist on the same thread where he admits he loves that there’s a bunch of brown people going into his country to do the dirty work for shit pay.
@888theGreat I mean, I know you are a racist but that is not what I said. Of course, English comprehension is not the strong point of people like you.
Read my reply to the other guy, it applies here too.
@Soteris How am I a racist? Give me examples. You just struggle with common sense because you never had any.
@888theGreat I mean we do have a colorful history but in this case I dont have to since I did not call you a racist as part of any of my arguments.
@Soteris so you can't cite anything
@888theGreat I mean.. I can cite "Says the loon that crashes into the party like a drunk racist uncle yelling about CUBA! and COMMUNIST DICTATORS!" if you want and point out that I never accused you of being a racist in it, like I have told you multiple times. Are you perhaps daft?
Keep the second amendment. We will need to be armed in the very near future
So gangbangers can currently get their hands on illegal guns as fast as they can heroin and fentanyl and I’m supposed to give up my rights to guns… NO!
no one talks about more regulation its always one or another extreme
they should stay legal. during WW2 Hitler and the Nazis were able to conquer the masses was because they made guns illegal thus the masses did not have anything to protect themselves against the corrupt government
no. but i think there should be way more strict regulations and it should be very easy for someone to lose their right to bear arms if they missbehave.
no because tis not feasible to ban them here. there are more guns that people in the u. s. and in some cases might be easier to obtain then food or water. so keep it legal, but for those gun control people, just legislate things around them
Now it's no point because all criminals probably have enough guns till now. I don't know why America is thought of as a safe country
It comes down to reality. We aren’t getting guns out of America. But we can regulate immensely.
Gun advocates should want these regulations.
They already have tons of regulations. The problem is the justice system doesn't hold breakers of the laws accountable enough. They always seem to plea bargain them down to lesser offences.
@Daniela1982 sure. But perhaps a gun registry which doesn’t exist, like car registry. National mandates to keep domestic abusers from getting guns.
No one knows when someone is a domestic abuser if the women never speak up.
@Daniela1982 that is true and a separate issue, per se. Since even men with histories of abuse and violence get guns easily. Oh and the gun show loophole.
I'm pretty sure sellers at gun shows or pawn shops are required to do background checks.
@Daniela1982 no.. that’s why it’s a loop hole. Not all gun shows maybe. But “private sales” are still unregulated.
People with micro penises need guns, but everybody else can live confidently without owning a deadly weapon.
Sure ask those people's ghosts who are raped and murdered each year if they wished they had a gun to protect themselves. "Nah, I didn't need a gun to keep myself alive." none of them would ever say. The list of people who would say that is long I'm sure.
@Daniela1982 those people have micro penises.
Even the women?
@Daniela1982 did you think that many of those women were held at gunpoint?
Those who give up freedom for safety deserves neither
I think dont expect them banning it
but they can control ammo
It should've been at the very beginning but now it's too late.
I think there is a very good reason why America is the Murder Capital of the world
The second amendment was one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights. story over
No, because violent crimes will still happen without any guns around.
it is not just about mental illness either, it is about the fact that we are angry and violent as humans, and we will find a way to put that anger towards what we hate.
No, it’s far too late to try to outlaw guns, if they were going to be banned they should have been a long time ago
Gun regulations/bans do far less to lessen gun violence than most people think. All they do is take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. A better option would be trying to cut down black market dealings within the US.
UK here. You'll be surprised to hear that I'm not all about banning guns. I don't think they should lets school kids carry them or even older kids like Rittenhouse but I wouldn't mind owning a gun myself.
Ownership of guns should stay legal, with reasonable restrictions on them and their ammunition.
Not completely, but I believe in an absolute ban on assault weapons (automatic, high fire rates, and large clips), expansive background checks, and red flag laws. The latter two points actually have significant bipartisan support here in the US.
I believe Constitutional Carry should be federal law.
No. Guns should be given to the poor, and working class. And taken away from the military and cops. Hahahah
No but, I do support common sense gun control laws to ensure that those who buy guys can prove they are fit to do so.
They most regulated item in US. Where do you dumb asses come from? You could ban them, make ammo illegal , and people will still be killed by them and people will use them in crimes.
More importantly the government will start whacking people quick if guns are banned.
I think it would be a lovely idea but I would not want to put it in law as your all have the gun lobby on your ass! PDQ
If people want to ban guns they can instead kindly gtfo
When Governments Fear The People There Is Liberty
-Thomas Jefferson
Fuck yeah
I think dogs should be banned but guns as well sure
I guarantee you can't give one single logical reason to ban guns.. And based on the votes, you will NEVER EVER get what you want. You might as well leave the country leftist. No one wants your kind here.
I used to think that but majority of the people that wanna use guns illegally will get them illegally
A lot of men regard guns as being as important as their dicks, so no - you absolutely cannot ban guns. Ban ammunition instead.
They should be banned, but only for criminals and mentally ill. Law abiding citizens can have them
They already are banned for criminals and the mentally ill
@Avicenna Then why do they still have them?
Because they break the law.. you know crack is illegal and people still get that too.
@Opinion Owner probably they get gun from parents or buy it from store before become ill mentally
They should make James Bond guns. Palm print encoded, so only the legal buyer can fire it.
