Ok, u made some good points but before u spout nonsense like "ppl like u" get to know and reread what i said .. i never said anything about taking everyones guns away .. i only said if u want to own a gun u need to know how to use it and have enuf training to not shoot a bystander or put holes into my house. I know about 20+ ppl with guns .. 4 of them actually have used the weapon last year and only 2 actually go to a range and other training areas to train on using the weapon regularly. Im all for ppl like them to own a weapon. Not so much for every retard who wants to look tough.
Further, Im really for the states to control gun laws simply cos if Mr. Peterson owns a farm in the middle of texas i think he really needs a gun .. but not the guy who is living in a high rise in manhattan. I believe states are in the best position to determine and enforce this. Oh and id love see a law where if u lose a gun then u shouldnt have a right to own one after that .. guns are meant to kill/mortally injure ppl and as such there has to be tremendous responsibility for every individual who carries it.
Now that said ... to just throw in some perspectives ... cos i always try to see from as many views as possible (not claim i got the perfect view)
U talk about constitution, how old is the constitution ? do u really think things around here are the same as 200+ yrs ago ? Yes it was written very generally to affirm fundamental rights of ppl and yes it is worthy enuf to stand for another million years. Saying everyone can own a gun 200 yrs ago had some serious merit to it .. not really so today. Arguments to own a gun are to "fight against tyrannical government" .. ok this is impossible by todays standards .. anyone who thinks u can actually pull something like this off today is very dumb. A trained army/enforcement will basically tear an untrained grp in no time. So the clause where u say .. the govt is afraid blah blah is DELUSIONAL. They are afraid only for the votes not ur guns ..
The problem with us is that we keep thinking we are the greatest ... no one sees how the govt keeps fighting wars all over to keep the army and the industries associates with them fed well. Now looks like its going to be the pharma getting the free cheques ... well atleast its not going to the do nothing insurance companies. No we are not all that great .. we have serious issues .. if anything the market collapse shouldve clearly demonstrated that we are just a bunch of horses running dragging a rich few. I really wish ppl would show the passion that they show towards the gun into other issues which are the wayyy more important for our country.
Sara im afraid u r delusional. If u think u can bear arms and shoot the government and the government is afraid of u, u r wrong. Can u give me an example of when americans actually picked up arms and fought against its government in recent times ? Ill tell u how itll work if the cause u r fighting for is worth it there will be ppl on the streets protesting (remember vietnam war and other events). The day u pick up a gun and shoot the goverment they will label u a terrorist and throw in jail or kill u. Thats it .. thats all u can do with guns today against ur government. And ppl dont protest in us cos ur media is setup to make the ppl complacent. Do u know how many ppl in ur state can name its governor and state officials ? Now go look up the stats in france or any european country ... ppl give a lot more shit over there than here. Yeah im american and i dont believe in everyones right to just damn own a weapon cos they are american. I believe it should be like a license where u r periodically tested for ur psycological state and ur actual skill in not shooting an innocent bystander.
