do you mean a gun should not be the fall back defensive???
The gun is a weapon made for the peasents, for those soldiers who couldnt take years to train. Of all the other weapons in the world the gun is the most efficient for self defense, taking little training and thought to use. Are you saying a knife would work better when the majority of Americans dont even know how to use a knife??? They would end up cutting themselves let alone their assaulters. If one had a gun, a single warning shot in the air will make them run before the need of killing. however one still needs to have the killing intent or they will be attacked and be in a tausle for the gun.
I posted this on a similar debate and i believe it clearly shows my views:
I agree that one should have the right to own arms but i do not believe on has to use violence to obtain their wildest gun dreams. if one wants to own a gun i have no qualms with them but if they wish to own guns such as a AK47 and AK74u they should be dealt with in a more civilized manner to protect the people. A hunting rifle is fine, a pistol is fine, an automatic or assault rifle is over doing it specially since the only reason an American needs a gun such as a rifle is for hunting. I am not saying all guns are for hunting a pistol may be used for self defense, But only as a Deterrence to violence.

one needs the right of self defense, one needs the right to feel safe in any circumstance. Yet one also needs to know self restraint, such weapons as a ALL assault weapons should not be allowed, but a hunting rifle and pistols should be allowed.
I just want to say this.
some people want to see the end of the world for they have lived long enough and it may give them a chance to see something amazing for perhaps the first time since the miracles talked about in the Bible. Giving the illusion of never ending satisfaction.
yet people who say that are just being selfish and putting their own greed's ahead of the younger generations. For i am of the younger generation and am only 15, I still have my own hopes and dreams for the future, my own wants and my own duty try and prolong the human race not wish for its destruction.
