The reason we have a higher crime rate than other countries is because we are a free society, other countries do not enjoy the freedoms that we do. We can either take advantage of our free society and become educated and work or we can choose not to this and become crimminals.

I don't know how many illegal or legal guns are used in crimes, but i do know why gun owners generally do not want to register their weapons. For one, as soon as your gun is registered the information goes straight to the justice department, and your name, age, race, sex, address, color of eyes, height, weight, and fingerprint and the type of weapon you own go into a big roster of names. These rosters are then separated into lists. (How they are divided up I do not know it is hard to find information about this.)
That being said, some people are a bit uneasy about all of this information being on special "lists." It concerns some people as to why they need all of this information and what do they do with the list of names and why are they keeping them?
Personally I believe this infringes on the right to keep and bear arms. I feel as though it is a deterrent for some people.
I don't however see anything wrong with background checks being ran at time of purchase, but I do not agree with registering.
It is not the governments or anyone eleses business wheather or not I own a gun.
I hope this clears it up for you.

Maybe you should re-read what I wrote and educate yourself a bit more on the gun laws that we already have here in the United States and gun laws that France now has before responding in the future!
I never mentioned anything about "shooting the government" as you so eloquently put it!
You no longer have the right to own a gun just because you are American. That right was taken away after the Brady bill passed back in the '90's
If you want to buy a gun there are several steps the average person has to go through in order to obtain one the correct and legal way. However, a felon can obtain a weapon on the black market or at a gun show quite easily, which I do not agree with. Most responsible gun owners such as myself want law enforcement to enforce the laws we already have for gun control. More laws is not the answer.
Taking guns away from law abiding citizens and punishing them is not the answer.
The answer is enforcing laws we already have.
The answer is our police forces doing their jobs and taking illegal weapons off of the streets.
Further more people do peacefully assemble here in the US all the time, everyday, it is a right that is protected under the bill of rights.
Our government does have some level of fear when it comes to changing or modifying rights that have been bestowed upon us by our founding fathers, partly because we are armed and partly because states still have the right of succession. The people of the nation do hold all of the power and if you don't believe that then you my friend are delusional as well as uneducated. You need to study our history and educate yourself on the bill of rights and our Constitution. There are no other documents in the world like them. They are unique, that is why we as a nation are unique, that is why our government is unique because no other government in the world has ever given all the power to it's people!
Unfortunately it is people like you who want to change our already great nation into some cookie cutter version of France or some other horrid little European country!
Read a history book!

The reason the French people have always had to riot in the streets and tear your leaders down from their ivory towers is the fact that you are not armed. Your government is not afraid of you. You my friend unfortunately fear your government and police force. That is something that Americans will never succumb to. Our government fears us, they are also very aware of the fact that they will never be able to take away our right to defend ourselves. That is why we don't riot here. We don't have to!
