Why do Americans need guns?

I am for the freedom to own a gun for Americans. 30,000 dumbfucks less per year. That's like 10 9/11's each year for free.

yea well you all sound alike to me, what can i say?


We're the same as them for believing the Jewish FED is corrupt as shit?

what a lovely thing to say....not surprising at all coming from a euromuzz.

:havea:

I'm from the UK and I agree with you. I am sick of my fellow countrymen asking this.

If guns were legal here then i'd defo own one in case anyone broke into the house in the middle of the night. I wouldn't hesitate about using it either if it came down to protecting myself, my house and my family.

The criminals will always get guns. The only thing a ban does is keeps them out of the hands of law abiding citizens.

What's even the point of all that hatred? Hating an entire group of millions of people because of warped, pre-conceived ideas. Very open minded of you!

Tool

Real question, why do foreign people keep butting into the affairs of others simply because they gave up their guns (yet still have astounding knife violence) and insist that Americans are "insecure and power tripping"?

I don't think you can compete with Aussie and British trolls right now on this.

I'm honest, it's pissing me off too. I envy you guys and curse the day they were taken away from the british people. People here have been brainwashed and conditioned into being slaves.

Simplest answer for the SIMPLE MINDED .... Because the criminals DO, and will continue to have them IF we give up ours !

Go suck a lemon, libtard !

I would have no problem with it if it wasn't for the fact that these arguments aren't "I understand your point sir and heres why I disagree", they simply devolve into "WOW Ameritards are power tripping morons lol! Give up your guns you don't need one cause I don't either! Yeah my neighbor got stabbed yesterday defending himself with a knife, so what?"

Why do you keep butting into the affairs of others, with guns and heavy weaponry (sometimes depleted uranium) and act as if you are the police of the world?

this

Then why are you the most arrogant and violent people in the world?

you are a rare brit, and hello.

Coz they are afraid of themselves, and like it that way.

damned if i know, but i am getting sick and tired of paying for it.

This. Sure guns are used for hunting and home defense but most importantly, and what people often forget, they are used for defense against our government. People ask why someone would need a semi-automatic AR-15 with a large clip? Well 1st, the criminals don't follow gun laws and they are armed with the best weapons. The law abiding citizens also want to be armed with the best weapons. 2nd, the people of the USA can't fight against the government with single shot .22's, shotguns, and pistols. We need some firepower. 3rd, having a well armed populace makes invasion from foreign countries near impossible. People don't think about this now but the USA is not immune from invasion.

Don't buy into the government propaganda people. They have been wanting to disarm us for a while now and they are opportunists. The will surely use this to try and push gun laws. All it will do though is disarm the sane, law abiding people. Nuts will still do mass shootings.


"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington

"The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand arms, like laws, discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside … Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."
Thomas Paine

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
Richard Henry Lee
American Statesman, 1788

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"
Patrick Henry
American Patriot

"Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not."
Thomas Jefferson

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; … "
Thomas Jefferson

"The best we can help for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
Alexander Hamilton
The Federalist Papers at 184-8

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
Thomas Jefferson
to James Madison

"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Ben Franklin
American Statesman

"The ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake."
Malcolm Wallop
former U.S. Sen. (R-WY)

"An armed man is a citizen. A disarmed man is a subject."



Or all you anti-gun nuts can go the route of Hitler:

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
Adolph Hitler
Chancellor, Germany, 1933

We all know how well that turned out...

Hey troll, did I authorize the war in the Middle East, build all the bases, and do a bunch of other shit I disagree with?

Yeah, nice try.

You can argue we are arrogant. Fine. That has nothing to do with guns and everything with the USA being the sole superpower atm.

If you really think we are the most violent people in the world you need to turn off the TV and look at some countries in Africa in Asia.

We are the most armed people in the world. Yes. Owning guns doesn't equal violence.

The most violent cities in America are the ones with the strictest gun laws. The safest cities are the ones like Kennesaw, GA where your required to own a gun.

I don't understand why Liberals think that if you take ban guns there will be no more shootings. We banned drugs and everyone can get them. It would be the same with guns but instead of buying them legally, a huge black market would spring up.

Its not a question of "needing" them any more that someone "needs" a certain kind of car or a certain sized TV. We have them because we can if we want to. Period. Who are you to judge what anyone else needs?

No, but you seem to have a problem with "foreign people butting into your affairs". So, I'm asking you a similar question: Why do you keep butting into foreign affairs?

I see a correlation between imperialism and the love for guns.

6 pages and there have been very few enlightening, measured responses from americans. just your usual rude and defensive tripe for the most part

just better get used to it america - get used to kids being massacred on a regular basis. it will keep happening, and i suspect, whether 'they' attempt a gun ban or not

there are just too many guns and too many deranged people with access to them

it will be like this forever, the horse bolted

-Hitler

Are you sure about America being the sole cough "superpower" cough cough? It used to be, but now it's only a paper tiger.

China surpasses US as top global trader, but you never hear a Chinese brag about that.

It's a cultural thing to think you are better than the rest of the world and that's a friendly way to put it.

Ok, let me re-phrase that: Americans are BY FAR the most violent people in the Western world.

If you would take the time to inform yourself rather than spewing BS political rhetoric you would be much happier in life.

The fact is, this type of shooting in on the decline in America. Don't take my word for it, that comes from the FBI.

The fact is, more Americans than ever own firearms, yet violent crime is down across the board, while gun ownership is at record highs.

.

Alcohol kills way more, why aren't you saying anything about that? Hypocrite dumbshits.

This, to protect our freedoms from the likes of King George.....

Because they are afraid.

Simple as that.

You run the given reasons back to the source and it's always just plain old fear.

THIS JUST IN

Man arrested after threatening to shoot up L.A. schools, police say

A Los Angeles man was arrested Sunday in connection with a Facebook post that threatened to conduct shootings at multiple area elementary schools, people familiar with the investigation said.

Investigators received information about the Facebook post on Sunday, sources said. When officers arrived at the suspect's Northeast Los Angeles home about 2 p.m., they found numerous weapons inside.
