Should they allow guns in MMA fights?

Yes, the 2nd amendment says so

VS.

No, let's have a nanny state

Side Score: 7

How does this even remotely have any relevance to gun control? MMA is private, so the 2nd Amendment does not apply, and they have the right to restrict guns in fights. Sorry, but this is sad satire.

Side: Yes, the 2nd amendment says so

Aren't you on the wrong side then? If all private businesses forbade guns, would you be OK with that? If a government body held MMA matches, would they have to allow guns?

Side: Yes, the 2nd amendment says so

What side is irrelevant considering the question is nonsensical. Private business doesn't forbade guns, it is against policy to bring on private property unless otherwise noted. This doesnt mean all private companies do this.

2nd Amendment merely grants the right to own a gun, so if government did do the event, they could restrict guns being on the property.

Side: Yes, the 2nd amendment says so

The 2nd amendment applies to the government, the MMA is not the government. This is just laughable.

Yes, this will add a whole new level to MMA. I, for one, would watch MMA more. There would be more sponsors bringing more money in with new accessories like guns and bullet-proof vests. Tickets would be cheaper as well with spectators entering at their own risk. All in all, a good call in my opinion.

I'm sure if not explicitly stated in the rules, the use of guns goes against the spirit of MMA. Now that being said, I would support the development a new fighting organization AG fights, where Anything Goes. You can use any weapon tactics or anything. Combatants are dropped into a bullet proof quadrahedron with anything the can carry and fight to the death, or tap out. Personally, I think this fighting style would become rather boring rather fast, a lot of just dudes blasting away with Spas shotguns. But then again perhaps an eloquent fight style will develop.

Do you mean use guns without bullets ? Like "gun kata" or something ?

If bullets are included then no , it's not fair and it conflicts MMAs purpose of fighting unarmed .

The purpose of martial arts is to defeat your enemy with your mind , body , and the unarmed techniques you've learned without the use of any weapons .

JFK was shot by a man wielding a gun. If it was a MMA fight he would have won, gun or not. The CIA wanted to rid the nation of JFK, because he was going to end the CIA. UFC in particular, was a no rules fight, so I guess guns were allowed, but only a JFK-killing nanny-licking pansy would use guns in the MMA.

Side: No, let's have a nanny state

Guns should not be allowed. There is too much fun violence as it is.
