Not just is the gun in America a symbol of defense, but also one of liberty and freedom. It is with guns that we won our nation from Britain; it is with guns that we have defended those liberties one for over two hundred years. Without this one power-checker, there can be almost no power in the hands of the proletariat against our increasingly totalitarian government.

they are yoused as self defence and what happens if someone robbes you with a gun do you just hit them with a bat?

Of course, we cannot protect our selves! America has one of the highest crime crates in the world and people says that guns are "evil." That is absurd and illogical to not have a gun in the United States.

Hate to sound like a redneck but hell yea we need guns here. Knowing that police and military are the only ones with guns in no way makes me feel safe. The first thing every dictator does is take away the guns. If I want to kill someone and all I've got is a pencil then I guess that'll have to do. It's human nature and tyrannical laws won't make us any nicer, just more psychotic. P.S. I don't wanna hurt nobody.

Absolutely! Why would anyone in any country ever want to be unarmed when the government and criminals have them. I think that if a person or a society puts themselves in that position they deserve to and WILL be oppressed.

What's the point of this debate people are just gonna. Rake the laws anyway

Sure, but really there should be more extensive tests and trials before giving any random person a gun.

I don't trust people as much as some do. Not that I don't trust people at all, just that considering the circumstances and events that have happened oh since the birth of America, I have my reasons to not trust every American, why should I?

So really this is about trust, rather that potentiality of "guns in america".

At the top of my head I cannot think of regulations and/or tests that should be given in more extent before handing a person a weapon for no good reason.
