What are your thoughts affecting the issue and would you vote for it to be illegal to bear arms?

Everyone should have the right to as long as they are responsible with them.

As an American it is my right and duty to protect myself and my property. Liberals go too far saying that guns kill people, THEY DONT!
people kill people. People should be armed, the only exeception should be convicted felons who broke the law and agave up their rights.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

I really don't know at all, but I wish there was some way to reduce gun violence in the United States. I heard there's lesser gun violence in Canada.

Only them?
How about people with personality disorders?

They are pointless in today's world honestly, you can go get meat from the grocer really easily. And your more likely to injure yourself or a loved one then kill an armed intruder that attempts to get into your home. And finally, guns wouldn't be able to stop a government intent on stripping you of your civil rights. They have tanks, copters, fighters and expertly trained foot soliders. A bunch of idiots with no training cannot win, you'd have to raise an army trained in guerilla warfare to stand a chance with only firearms.

But honestly, register them and I don't care.

They'll take my swords away, when they pry them
out of their stinking dead bodies.

Lit's incommunicado right now.

I'm sure Scrap would have something
to say, if he were allowed.

That second amendment should have been flushed along with the rest of the dunny paper and crap that forms your Constitution. Jesus, will you look at yourselves, everyone running around blowing each others heads off because they are armed, and then the neighbours get bigger guns, then the street gangs get Uzis and rob petrol stations and bottle shops because they have the firepower.... Where will it end? Anyone who thinks that owning a weapon makes them safer should go and visit their nearest mental hospital and book themselves in for an extended stay, because it's the THREAT of these weapons that causes the problem. The only ones that should bear arms are the armed forces and the police, and even the police go too f*cking far. It seems to me that it all hails back to the Wild West days of Jesse James and Billy the Kid. Well, it's 2007 now and those days of 'shoot first and ask questions later' have gone. If Britain and Australia can do without the right to bear arms, then surely you could join the rest of us in the 21st century as well.

^ I totally agree. I thought I was the only one, considering the poll.

i support the right to bear arms.


2nd amendment protects that right and to lose such a right would be a true fall into tyranny.
