Personally, I strongly believe that rifles and shotguns should be legal because of hunting, handguns I still favor legalized but require heavy restrictions and I want a ban on automatic and other high powered weapons.

In theory, putting limitations on handguns and banning automatic assult rifles might be a good idea. But, in reality, the handguns and automatic weapons used in crimes aren't legal in the first place. There will always be a "black market" for hard to purchase guns......even with strict limitations and banning of certain types, they will still be used on the streets. I'll guarentee the 9mm used in robbing the local liquor store isn't registered to the person committing the robbery, if it's even registered to anyone at all. Guns are just too easy to obtain illeaglly.

You would do 100 times better to spend the "making things illegal" fund on a "educate the public on gun safety" initiative. Why try to stop people with illegal guns already from getting illegal guns when you could prevent accidental gun deaths.

You could call me a fanatical opponent of gun control. I believe that have an armed citizenry is the last safeguard of keeping your government in line. Also I enjoy hunting and shooting for sport. I'm not saying that an armed rebellion could directly take on the army. Assassinations have done wonders. Did you know it is extremely illegal to say you want to kill the president?

PS I don't belong to the NRA, so think of how big of nut cases those people are.

Here too.

Also I hate gun control as well. Will we be sheep before the wolves? Is the government afraid? All I remember is that such disarmament acts happened in African dictatorships prior to genocides.

Never!

As I've demonstrated by avoiding the main issue thus far, it's very difficult from an outside perspective, in a country where guns ARE outlawed, to judge this issue as regards the United States. How do people here from the US view nations with gun bans, like mine (the UK, as if you didn't know)?

UK has gun bans!?

Even in Turkey you can get a gun provided you pass some psychological test proving that you will only use it as the latest resort, resisting the urge to use it.

Some southeastern Kurdish families are notorious for their stockpiling of AK47's, rifles and whatnot.

Of course it does, following a massacre in a school (by the name of Dunblane).

That's not to say there aren't illegal weapons out there, in the hands of criminals, and of course some members of the Police carry guns.

That "school massacre" must have been a good opportunity. That is silly.

People kill people. Get used to it. Such authorities who cover their own mistakes, or the mistakes of the parents, and the education system, by destroying the freedoms of their subjects are truest tyrants. Nay, worse as Hitler.

When a kid shoots another, blame video games.

When teen pregnancy gets high, they shout :"Oh noes teh immoraliteh! Teh modern culture?"

So, where were you when your child asked you about girlfriend boyfriend and sexuality? At church? In front of the TV?

Parents are the responsible for their kids.

WHAT?!?! This is outrageous and goes against everything decent Americans stand for! They should teach the kids this stuff in school, except for when I don't want 'em taught something, like sex. Why do you hate freedom?!?

Gun deaths are not the only reason for murder... In Canada we have very few gun murders... I here about people being beat/stabbed to death about 5 times more often then shootings.

I'm sorry guys but I don't think legal guns will stop the military if they do try to place a police state upon the people. If we were to rebel, I would think we would use bombs and automoatic weapons instead of handguns.

They would send a squad of Halo like body armour elites to kick our ass.
I wonder what the plans to that suit of armour went for on eBay...

Nuh uh. People kill people with every way available. Some stab, some drown, some run over by accident.

Funny. The day VTEC kicked in, my dad said if he was going to kill a bunch of people he would drive his full size pickup through a parade at 80 mph. I'm a chip off the old block.
