Why do Americans need guns?

It's really amazing...

Heart attacks kill way more, let's ban hearts.

Yes and can you please ban cancer while you're at it. Thanks.

Because i'm not the one butting into your affairs? You seem to want to pin these things over which I have no control with on me, like white guilt or something.

People kill themselves, and drunk driving. Alcohol poisoning...

What a retarded question.

Defense and Hunting.

#1 questions you retards need to address - How to defend yourself and your family during a home invasion when the perp has a gun.

My cousins brothers son - someone walked into his house in a small rural town and killed him in his sleep. Never caught.

The same cousins wife, after he was deceased was living alone. Perps broke in tied her to a chair and extorted money out of her. Left her like that at 78YO. They cam back a few days later and when she heard them coming in the window she fired a shot over there heads and that wrapped up the home invasion.

A friend, woman was at a gas station. 4 Perps pulled a knife and approached her with knives to kidnap and carjack her. She whipped out a 9mm and shot the lead guy in the knee. That wrapped up the car jacking.

My 94YO uncle almost had a home invasion. Guy showed up at the screen door and started in, aggressively, until he grabbed his double barrel.

Danny Rollings in gainsville or Ted Bundy.
A Pistol in one of the girls hands would have stopped that massacre.

How about the top 20 serial killers. I am sure one of there victims would have liked a pistols before there demise.

Fact is about 1 out of 100 people are psychopaths.

Of that groups some are violent out to lunch and psycho's. In society there are just some real violent nutbags, and if you dont have a way to defend yourself you could end up lunch.

This kid did not own guns, he stole them. He would have gotten them from somewhere sooner or later.

I personally would choose to defend myself from a violent psychopath or a criminal with a firearm.

You can use a butter knife if you want. I guess you could try some pepper spray or a taser while you are staring down the barrel of a shotgun.

Deny-mislead

B e c a u s e w e a r e f r e e dumb ass.

80,000 die in the U.S yearly from Alcohol shit consumption. Pretty good argument actually, numbskull.

Put it this way.

Imagine the scene of Nazis rounding up political enemies from homes.

Then imagine the possibility that any of the doors to these homes could have a gunowner pointing his weapon at that door.

It would make concentration camps like Auschwitz just about impossible to populate.

That is the point of gun ownership.

Cause we feel like it.

Basically...the US Bill of rights with the 2nd amendment was practically a carbon copy of the English bill of rights of the 17th century, where all persons were allowed to bear arms to protect themselves...from the Protestants! - complex but involved the English civil war etc

The founding fathers et al, stuck on the 2nd amendement with the purpose of it being applied to state militia groups, to protect as a collective...over the years, and unsure how, the 'collective' seemed to get to an individual...so before you slang off the 'Brits' - just bear in mind it was the English who gave the 'Americans' who originally were Welsh, Irish, Scots and Enlgish, the impetus for 'your' bill of rights and the 'right' to bear arms...but as a militia....
It is a complex scenario and one that is still being enacted out and discussed in the American courts.....

If Lanza had just a knife how many children would be alive today? Most of them, maybe all. Have a gun to feel free is false excuse, marketing invention and tool for mass indoctrination.

that is days honest reality unfortunately.

As to the mass shootings, I'd say that we have lost our moral compass. It doesn't matter if someone kills with a knife, an exposive device, poison or with fists.

If someone wants to kill, that person will kill. The means are not relevant.

Maybe we shouldn't encourage so much violence on TV, movies, and video games.

If Lanza bought guns illegally or a bomb? Plenty of examples of people defending themselves with guns.

So, let me get this straight: You (plural, Americans) are allowed to butt into our (the rest of the world) affairs, but not vice versa?

Mislead-deny the obvious.

At this point, 911, aurora theater, mall shooting, school shooting and temple shooting. Oh yeah, this stuff happening in uk (trains), france (schools)and european countries that don't have guns. I would say that we need to protect ourselves from this shadow government and their mercenary killers, it is not just America that they are shooting up, or blowing up.

Never heard of America giving two shits what Belgium does.

I think you are missing the part where the Declaration of Independences says that Americans have a duty to change it's government when it's own becomes tyrannical.

They need to be able to form a militia of concerned citizens when that happens.

If we lose our ability to own arms, then enacting this would be impossible.


"..when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."

I hope they confiscate all the guns!!!

Dumb Americans getting played like puppets don't deserve them!

Are you really that retarded?? You can't blame a nation of people for the actions of corrupted governments. This is exactly the kind of mentality that keeps us as people so fractured. Divide and rule. You simply can not judge an entire nation based on the actions of a few that don't represent the interests of the nation nor reflect their sentiment.

Think about it please!

+1

Everyone on the planet who can afford a gun, should buy one and open carry!

That's why, if I were to move to the USA (pure fantasy), I would like to settle in the state of Vermont.

No foreign power will ever try to invade the USA--every fifth house is an arsenal.

You're free to allow your government to check your internet searches, emails, phone conversations and the books you read in the bib, in exchange for security against mean terrorists.

Thank the lawd I didn't have to respond to this tard again, I thank you my good man.

I'm not blaiming YOU in particular, but you don't like us interfering with the US gun law.

If you read your Constitution it states that being well armed is a DUTY. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT DOCUMENT ANYWAY, so it doesn't matter.

Please go and live there you fucking imbecile

I wasn't expecting a real answer from an American in defense mode with a 2-figure IQ.
