Do you know that when criminals who had been arrested for Breaking and Entering were asked if they were afraid of homeowners with guns, the majority of the criminals responded no? The criminals weren't afraid because they all believed that if they were ever confronted by a gun wielding homeowner, the normal law-abiding citizen would hesitate while the criminals would pull their own guns and shoot first. People constantly trumpet about how having a gun means that they can protect themselves, but first they must be able to fire the gun on another human being, something that most people find hard to do. Really protecting yourself with a gun isn't very much protection at all, meanwhile the abundance and attainability of guns means dangerous people can easily get a hold of a dangerous weapon.

Do you know that when criminals who had been arrested for Breaking and Entering were asked if they were afraid of homeowners with guns, the majority of the criminals responded no? That could have been because 1) they were on drugs at the time, and didn't have their senses with them 2) most homeowner don't have guns anymore 3) they were scared shitless, but they didn't admit it because it would make them look like a pansy. There could be many more reasons other than: The criminals weren't afraid because they all believed that if they were ever confronted by a gun wielding homeowner, the normal law-abiding citizen would hesitate while the criminals would pull their own guns and shoot first. In fact, most armed homeowners, when faced with an intruder, are able to kill it or hold it for police without much trouble because they are far better oriented with their home than the intruder. They also have much better mental faculties. People constantly trumpet about how having a gun means that they can protect themselves, but first they must be able to fire the gun on another human being, something that most people find hard to do. Not when it's a life or death situation. You can't know until you've been in one. Really protecting yourself with a gun isn't very much protection at all, meanwhile the abundance and attainability of guns means dangerous people can easily get a hold of a dangerous weapon. the abundance and attainability of weapons also work to the advantage of the law abider. You have much better chances when you can defend yourself. Side: Guns

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a startling revelation for 2015. It is projected that deaths from guns will surpass deaths from car fatalities in 2015. An estimated 33,000 Americans will lose their lives from guns as opposed to an estimated 32,000 Americans who will die in car accidents. The gun violence in America is an American Shame!

I don't think that should have guns because if a really dumb desperate drug attic really wanted some drugs or money they would definately buy a gun,(or steal it) and find some houses to break into then try and find money. If they see somebody in that house then they would definatley shoot them cold-blooded. Then they would keep the pursuit and kill many other people. That is if they do not get caught. Side: no guns

Some reasons why we shouldn't have guns is because if we didn't then many other kids would not be exposed to to the guns and that way if the guns are gone then the children won't shoot their selves or each other. Because if a parent has a gun in the house and the child see's where the parent put it they are going to want and invite their =little friends over and wanting to show them. So when he/she shows their friends they might get shot or shoot them by accident. Or even on purpose. Side: no guns

I think people should be able to carry guns for many reasons. I think that because most cities and neighborhoods are very dangerous. So if you were just at a red light or somthing then somebody runs up on you and tries to car jack you or watever with a gun you should be able to have a gun and atleast shoot that person in the arm or somthing so that you won't get killed. That way if you shoot them in the arm they would probably, well they should have a chance to live but if they shoot you in the head or chest you might die because that is more severe. It is very dangerous around here and people need to protect theirselves. Side: Guns

Well, in Switzerland everyone has full auto assault weapons and there is almost no crime. In Mexico, almost everything is illegal and just look at their murder rates. In my opinion, crime is caused by poverty and drug addiction, not guns. If we get rid of poverty and drugs, there will be no more problem. Gun control just makes it worse because criminals can still buy their guns illegally but responsible citizens can't and are totally defenseless. Also, if the guns are gone, it makes it easier for people like Hitler to take control over the government and genocide people. Nowadays people just think the cops will protect them, but what if they go away or become bad. I call people with that mentality, "sheep". Side: Guns
It's not about removing guns completely its about making gun control laws more stringent so that tragedies like the recent one in Arizona are avoided. If people weren't allowed to simply walk into a gun show and purchase a weapon with no background check, if people were required to have a license it becomes more difficult for criminals and for people who intend to misuse their guns, to acquire them, while still allowing for law abiding citizens to own and buy guns.
