There is NO rational argument for GUNS in modern America.

It's to protect us from the government turning tyrannical...
moran!

yes the answer is yes

gun ownership should be mandatory

DUH

Everyone except you!

What are you going to do hotshot? You and Bubba are going to take on the US Military? How exactly do you see that "protecting" happening?

and who are you referring to when you say "us"??

Do you think that even police should not have guns? Afterall, the police shoot and kill more citizens daily than anyone else.

It is to PROTECT

ANYONE

ANYONE

Who uses their weapon to abuse and take power becomes a target

INCLUDING THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE ABOVE THE LAW

Exactly!

This guy supports population control and mass murder.

Hitler is that you?

What do you define as home OP? If your walking down the street and you have no right to self-defense but within the confines of a "castle" what you do when push comes to shove?

It seems to me that if the body is a temple and holder of the soul then I have a right to defend that temple anywhere I am.

In other words a God given right to self protection. This argument doesn't happen in nature just MSM.

Um probably the other 85% of ARMED americans

the day you need a gun and don't have one will probrobly be your last...just another statistic as to why we should should have guns

How about a hobby?
But then again soon they will try to ban cars as well.
Any machine that is fun BANNED!

Once the criminals and publicly elected officials turn in their guns, the citizens can then do the same. Until then....

All of the gun bearing people....
If they really start passing draconian bills(not the stuff being misinterpreted as such), we have something to stop them.
And the fact we own guns in the first place is enough to deter them from passing extreme legislation. They take away our guns...you can bet a million dollars the very next day every single one of your freedoms would be gone. The founding fathers added that amendment specifically so the people would be protected from the government.

I'm a liberal,fyi. But I'm not one to be easily influenced by propaganda. And the anti-gun stuff is just that.

Who in the hell do you think makes up most of the combat troops? It is mostly White, Southern Rednecks. Do you think we are going to turn on our own?

Yes, if the retards with badges can have them, WE ALL need them !!!! Idiot.

Register your kitchen knives now, they are deadly weapons, the great kitchen knife amnesty, you must acquire a license and be approved to own a kitchen knife.

If you are ever attacked by an armed assailant... I hope they beat the shit out of you because you don't have a way to defend yourself.

Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

It's funny...you mention rational argument...yet you use an emotionally charged "argument" with no rationality.

i'm not so sure, after all, a man's right to bear arms led to the invention of the tank top. not a good look!

Ban all guns in public places.

-- Do you all *really* want EVERYBODY , fuckin carrying a weapon at the god damn Olive Garden? At Work or school?

-- Do you want to send you child off to high school or college knowing, he or she needs a fucking Gun at class? And that those other kids, are carrying a god damn Glock??

the answer to that question is ...NO!! and you all know it.

god op you are a sheep and an idiot,,, with all the bad news trying to change the minds of the masses of sheeple like you to think that very same thing (guns=bad) cops and fema will save me..... tv is brainwashing.... about travon martin and the child who shot himself at a gas station. this is sad ya but with great power comes great responsibility. i own many guns and they stay at home, but against foreign enemy if ever on our shores, government needing to be put in check by the ones it serves. or for survival in unforeseen circumstances i will never give up my right or the right on another citizen to own posses and carry a firearm at there own discretion...................................................​......no offense your opinion is your own and your entitled to it... but i hope you stand aside as the sheep that you are or wake up and defend your rights...peace and love

don't forget sharpend sticks! ban all wooden objects

Yes, yes, and yes, because if everyone is carrying a gun, then no fucking retard is going to rob someone or try to kill someone knowing they may be killed themselves.

How does a gun protect you from the Government? Be specific and practical.

How does a gun protect you from the Government? Be specific and practical.

How do you know a majority of people are not already carrying them?

I know of a few people who have been carrying a concealed weapon

for awhile... you have no idea how many out there actually do carry guns already

especially in big dangerous cities....

You just completely changed your point...
Your title says "Modern America"
You said nothing about just public places.
