| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28647427 12/09/2012 12:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because Pandoras box of introducing guns to this country has already been opened. The sheer amount of firearms in this country dictates if law abiding citizens gave up their weapons the criminals that didnt would have a staggering number of weapons to ravish the unarmed population with . Americans are buying on average of 1-3 million guns per month. On black friday alone enough backround checks <which only one check even if you are purchasing multiple arms > went through FBI servers to crash it twice in one day. I've heard there are upto 10 guns for every man woman and child in the united states at any given time in recent years. And with rumors of bans that number is exponentially increasing. So as you can see , as long as criminals have access to these kinds of numbers of weapons common sense dictates law abiding citizens will need to remain armed if they don't want to be overtaken like chiganistan , Illinois. |

Or maybe it's to kill yourself? What's with man's obsession with bullets? Has he forgotten how to throw stones? Or maybe he's forgotten how to get stoned?

Due to the facts above it is obvious in a world such as ours that there are people who want to hurt you, or the ones you love. Accept the fact that since "guns" are simple machines everyone has one. Especially those who want to hurt you. Therefore, you must arm yourself in order to protect the things in life you hold most precious.

Like with nukes. The US develops it, then everyone else wants them so they're not at a huge disadvantage. The other guy has 'em, so I gotta have 'em too. And, like with nukes, no one wants to be the first to give 'em up. But I like guns. They are fun. I loves me some shooting range. |

Missiles, tanks, bombs, machine guns and yes even nukes. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1018225 The right to bare arms does not say only certain types of arms. If we still followed the original constitution, we wouldn't have a military, but a true well regulated militia. |
