If guns should be banned cars should be banned too. If guns kill people, the same can be said for cars. They are both useful and dangerous. They both kill a lot of people every year.

My point is that Guns and Cars are both useful and that there is no good reason to ban them.

If guns are banned, the only people that will be affected will be the people that buy guns for protection from criminals, who get their guns illegally anyway.

"guns dont kill, ppl do"

do you know that canada has more armed citizens and less murders. and that is with pot being legal.

not only that but the us consitution specifically says that guns are allowed and that is so that we cannot be oppressed by the government. if we are all helpless, than how can we fight back?

Whether guns were banned or not, people will still find a way to illegally obtain them--especially criminals. Those who abide by the law would be left defenseless if and when their life is threatened.

It's our right to bear arms, and I believe that it is fairly reasonable to exercise that right.

Guns help protect people. 2.5 million people were saved last year because of guns. plus, criminals don't care if guns are not legal.

No because then people will be completely defenseless against the police & criminals.

& weak people won't be able to defend themselfs against stronger people.

even guns are banned people are still going to find a way to get guns. all we are doing is creating another Scarface and it states under the second amendment that we shall bear arms

I don't really agree with either side. I don't think guns are good or bad. I think they're just... guns. To say they're bad, implies they're useless; to say they're good, implies they're beneficial. I'm kind of in the center on this topic. I don't like that ordinary citizens can buy guns for "protection." I don't give a sh*t how much they think it'll save them against a burglar or rapist or whatever. Because there's still the increased risk (which outweighs the protection factor) of it being used for the wrong reasons, or of kids getting their hands on it, or of just standard reckless usage. Why not every get off their ass and use the money for karate lessons instead? Just because at some point someone might hold a gun on you, doesn't mean you need to lower yourself to their level and do the same. However, I am for police and the military having guns, at the very least. At least they're more properly trained for using them and in certain situations. So, with that said, I'd rather guns were just not available to the general public, period. If they want better protection, there are MANY other options. How about stun guns? Electrocute those balls! Hehe.

guns are used for protecting first,if you want kill sb,other tools can do it,not only guns,so it is not the guns fault,why guns should be banned?

there are many people out there where a gun has saved their life or another member of their family. it is also too bad that some gun owners became gun owners after something tragic has happened to them.

guns don't kill people.... people kill people so guns shouldnt be banned people can kill with knifes and all sorts of things so guns shouldn't be banned cause many people enjoy shooting them and if someone had an intention to kill someone they would kill them without a gun if they wanted to so no guns should not be banned and guns are used to hunt to so that's about it

Guns don't kill people. People kill people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think aboit this what would you do if someone broke in to your house and the power and cell phone recption was down and u had no way to call the cops and handguns where band what would you do if that happens?

Guns help protect people when a robber comes into there home they can shoot him maybe because they are defending there home

Guns are good. But this is an old debate. I don't see how it got revived.

you simply cannot take away our right to own guns what happens if a serial rapist/murderer breaks into your house with an illegal gun? even if you heard him break in and called the cops it still takes a while for them to respond so while the cops are taking their sweet ass time to get here the bad guy has all the time he needs to kill you rape your wife and daughter then kill of anyone else and steal whatever he wants then he is free to go before the cops even get there so would you rather the cops show up to find a house full of deap people or a house full of safe people because you were able to shoot the bad guy and disarm him .....if obama allows this gun ban to happen i think someone should go to the white house and beat him half to death with a stick then write a note in his blood that says "go ahead ban wood....." what if i killed someone with a furbie ..... what exactly is the logical thing to do ban furbies? yes some poor bastard was bludgeoned to death with a furbie.... its the furbies fault!!!! destroy all furbies..... fucking idiots

no way. You can use guns for self defense. Just use it in a coorect way so that you won't kill people.

No, guns should not be banned. Without guns, North Korea would see that we would be weak, inevitably starting World War 3. Also, did you know that there are more homicides by knives alone than there are from guns? If anything, you should want Knives to be banned.
