Banning guns is like making a law that every man must cut off his own cock to stop rape. It will do more harm that good to law abiding citizens and rapists will not obey.
Same ol' same ol--- "Get the guns off our streets".
Why can't our politicians see the wisdom of getting criminals off our streets? Are they too large a part of their power base? Do they count on their votes in every election?
4 of the Supreme Court justices have committed treason in my opinion. They should be impeached and removed from the court.
I can understand the 4 SCJ saying the cities county and states have a right to keep felons from having a gun because they lost certain right when convicted and mentally dangerous person if a court judge that person to so.
guns arent just for defending your home..."When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."– Thomas Jefferson
I't's disturbing too think that 4 out of the 9 Justices think that the constitution does not clearly say Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. Are they illiterate or stupid. I mean it's pretty obvious what it says. All 9 Justices should have voted in favor of it. If they can't all agree on such an obvious amendment, then they have no business being a member of our Nations highest court. Just sayen...
I do too. It's scary to even realize that we came so close to having our rights taken away, a 5 to 4 vote? Thats ridiculous. Those four people do not deserve to be in the Supreme Court, they know nothing about the Constitution. Our right to bear arms also applies to the fact, that if our government becomes tyrannical then we can use them to restore order back to our government. If the ruling went the other way, I would hope that would have happened.
More criminals will always lead to increased crime. Criminal control in the form of long sentences for violent crime is the best way to reduce violent crime. Remove the CAUSE of violent crime and you will remove violent crime.
Liberals don't like this because more Liberals have family members with criminal records than do Conservative.
oh silly anti gun people-don't you know your time is near. soon you shall be utterly defeated, utterly disgraced & utterly despised. the courts hate you. the legislatures hate you. the president & all the governors hate you. the only thing you have accomplished is delivering house & senate seats to the republicans. such silly little fools. don't you know that you were used. your opponents wanted you to campaign for gun control because your campaigning does nothing but promote gun ownership :)

@marleystoner Education is more effective than force. Waging a war on gun control will only cause more people to rally against you.
It's exactly the same as the drug war. The harder you fight the cartels, the more you anger the hive. Educating people about the risks of drugs and legalising all substances would cause those cartels to evaporate overnight.
Don't expect people to make good decisions for themselves based on their emotions. You have to give them the facts.
@ihaterobbie123 Here's a fact for the government, I can't help but believe they're not aware of it. IF YOU HAVE 1 DOLLAR DON'T SPEND 5. :P Now apply that to billions if not trillions of tax dollars and trillions of dollars of debt. And cut the shit that doesn't protect our God given rights. Ie things other than the military or police.

More handguns anywhere WILL increase handgun violence. No guns in the world equals no gun violence. Its impossible to argue against that. Therefore, if you take all handguns out of DC, there wont be any handguns to commit handgun violence with. However, the problem is that if you ban handguns, criminals will still have them while law abiding citizens wont. Banning doesnt remove, only criminalize and this country is a prime example of that. I support the right to bear arms.
@LotusDragon09 Moreover the adjective of crime doesn't matter. More handguns does lead to more handgun crime HOWEVER overall murder, assault, and overall crimes of aggression decrease.
The flawed stat view of "handgun crime goes up" is equivalent to saying the decrease of polarbears and panda population is the cause of global warming.
ok let me put it this way, if the majority of the people living in the united states carried a handgun with them at all times, would you rob a bank knowing people are going to have guns in there? Would invade some one's home? would you commit a violent crime knowing some one is going to have a gun around you? simple fact: more guns, less crime
i don't think you guys have to have a gun license to purchase but you are probably required to go true background checks and registration of the firearm or transaction.

also note this isn't legal advise consult a liar ... sorry i meant lawyer for that

i live in country where guns are prohibeted and imposible to purchase unless u have special expensive and overall hard to pass test, and here i rarely here about gun crimes, shootings and so on. gangsters dont have source to get firearms. i know it would take long time to get the guns out of streets, but after that it could really be safer.
@kaaajeee Have you ever heard of the black market? In America where I live shit like that is everywhere and will never stop along with gun toting mexican drug cartels and human trafficers (nothing against mexicans in case that might have been offensive) so we at least need guns... and to MyHoose13 and Violative911 republicans aren't over judgemental douchebags just sayin.
@SWsnowblower that is interesting. is it like anyone has little problem to get smuggled gun or u need to be in "business" to get to dealer? for example could u get a gun like that lets say this week? im really interested in real persons opinion on this.
@romeoneverdies i know that. its just that here noone breaks into someones house carrying an ilegal gun. Robbers are poor and black gun market is kinda exclusive. gangs dont gather around guns, they dont talk about it. Guns just arent part of culture here. i think thats the reason. culture. guns are a big part of american culture unlike european.
@kaaajeee We have the right to bare arms to protect ourselves from the government so that some muslim fuck doesn't kill us all after they forcefully insert themselves into the government or a totalitarian or socialist leader can be stopped through violent revolution. You may be happy catering to the will of madmen and dictators and hope to never accomplish anything worth mentioning in your pathetic life but don't force that on people like me through taxation and violation of human rights.
@kaaajeee the point isnt "gun crime", its violent crime in general. you probably dont have the massive violent south american drug gang problem that parts of the US have either. 90% of all gun violence in the US comes from these sources or are innocent casualties of it. if you propose a solution to that problem, then i might entertain the idea of maybe thinking about giving up my right to keep a gun. until then, stay the hell out of my home or you leave in a body bag.
@fakiir Never, ever "entertain the idea of maybe thinking about giving up" your right to keep a gun. Even if the sources of all "gun violence" were eliminated, there still remains the actual original reason for the 2nd amendment to the U.S. constitution: protection from tyrannical government. NEVER offer to give up your God-given, constitutionally-protected rights for ANY reason!
@kaaajeee But thats your country not America. America is Free and if one day we are not free we will be able to fight for are freedom agin. Sorry your country will have to fight with picth forks and Gondi.
They seem to miss the point. The second amendment has absolutely nothing to do with self defense or hunting. Owning a gun to protect yourself and feed your family was so obvious to the founding fathers that they felt no need to mention it.
After all, what kind of crazy world would we live in if people wanted to leave you defensless in the face of criminal attack? That could never happen!
The REAL purpose of the second amendment is to give the people the means to overthrow the government.
There is overwhelming evidence with mountains of statistics and books proving guns do prevent home invasions and are a reasonable means of self-defense. Anyone individual disagreeing with these proofs are either illiterate or have an ulterior motive of disarming American citizens! These people must be removed from office to preserver the laws of the Constitution!

What needs to be, is to impeach the 4 members of the supreme court that stepped on the intent of the bill of rights. It seem they have gone senile and forgot the meaning of bear, keep, shall, not, infringed. Not only that those 4 can’t look up the words in a dictionary to find the definitions to those words.
ok if someone wants to shoot someone why would they get a legal gun. if they ban guns then people will get them illegally. and the people who get guns illegally use it for illegal purposes. People who get guns legally with a licence and everything why would they do something bad with it

Notice how she adds with such intent @ :13 "for self-defense, and hunting..." wrong lady- learn your history- It's for us to be able to protect ourselves against tyranny in government.
...That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government... This is why the second amendment exists, not for home defense or for hunting but to protect the people from tyranny, and to keep the government in check.
Automobiles cause more deaths every year than guns + knives + baseball bats combined. Stick that in your crack pipe and smoke it. 2nd Amendment forever!!!
Democrats are so stupid. The bad people had always and will always have guns, they get them illegally. So a ban only hurts the law abiding citizens that are protecting themself.
In europe a huge anti-gun campaign occured during 90's and a english conservative government made a handgun ban in 1997, then in all european countries and canada (for the countries I studied), criminal rate dramatically increased .
Law keep law abiding citizens from firearms but criminals are armed nowadays .
Thus, far right is back all over europe and we will have maybe ; very bad surprises .
Long before the invention of firearms the world was ever so peaceful with not a drop of blood in sight or even the feeling of fear. People weren't afraid of kind gentle compassionate bears, walking through dark forests or even Atilla the Hun.
Death and violence was around long before firearms you dimwit. You're just a bitter anti-gun moron =)
You do not need a gun to kill a lot of people. Do a search on youtube put this in search (Arrest in Tokyo Mass Stabbing). He stabbed 17 people in just a couple minuets if he knew where to stab all would have bleed to death in two minuets. A school hall between class think of how many he could have stabbed.
Agree with gunmunky. But also feel your pain 12Gauge it was weird being in LA without my carry, was there for a week and never felt so defenseless. If you don't mind moving go to Arizona its a HUGE GUN STATE even better then Texas when it comes to gun laws hell any law biding citzen can open carry there where ever they go.
I used my Kimber 1911 TLE 2 which I keep by me to defend myself. I let out 4 shots of hollow-pointed speer gold dot. One guy got clipped, the other got hit 3 times, in the leg and torso. Yeah I was aiming higher but I have not seen much combat, none with active fire, (I'm civilian, but martial artist, golden gloves, etc. cancerous cripple now...lol) so I was slower then ever, in worse shape then ever. But I still managed to get the drop, and my gun saved my life. The cops called me a "hero"
Continued: Which is negligent of the British Parliment to do so. Texas may have a lot of things going against the state (most uninsured children, Joe Horn who did have rights, going gung-ho most likely without real reason) but they do have some of the lower amounts of murder rates in the country. Several other towns throughout the country have virtually no home break ins. Recently I had two men with firearms break into my home around 9:30 pm MST. (cont)
I am a liberal but I really hate it when liberals who act just as "sheeple-ish" as the conservatives they often insult, and go all batty against guns. It makes about as much sense as people wanting health insurance companies to continue to operate the way they do. I digress, I live in Utah which we can open-carry almost anywhere which is great. I'd like to see how much crime has decreased since this passed in DC. Look at London murder rates since they put a ban on. +400% I believe
Murder rate did not go up. Gun crimes did not go up. Get over it you whiners. If you have proof dont bother downing me just put the link in a comment. Deal with it. Guns are tools Badguys will always have guns because of black market. Goodguys wont as long as retarded laws stay in effect. Learn a skillset to use them. Teach your children about gun safety and itll help a lot. [not to say ALL gun crimes will drop cuz there are still assholes out there and always will be. History of humanity]
"For the 1st time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, out Police more affishant and the rest of the world will follow our lead into the future!" - Adolf Hitler, 1937
I for one love guns and am glad to live in a country where i can own them although the types of guns i want and where i live clash a bit. i love military type weaponry but i live in NJ so unless i join the militry or i get a good job to afford them and move to a different state ill never have them o.o
Yhe Right TO BARE ARMS is A PRIVILIDGE AS STATED in THE 2nd AMENDMENT in The Constitution.(FOR EXAMPLE) They Would Obviously NOT ALLOW A PROSECUTED Bank Robber Or Murderer Who Are FREE on the Streets after Serving Their Time in The SLAMMER A Gun Ownership Licence.Therefore The Only Dangerous Criminals Besides Those Given Examples ARE THE GUN TRAFFICKERS WHO SELL THEM ON THE STREETS! Have A GOOD DAY YA'LL ^_^
This is all about control. It seems some people are born to take delight in the act of controlling others. I hope this type of scenario continues. You take away someone's right to do anything and there will be retaliation even if solely to rebel against another man's attempt to control their own life. Or...you treat someone like a dog and they will act like a dog.
Here in England there are many people who envy you having the right to bear arms and use them for protection We have thousands of the criminals from Europe coming to the UK because of its soft laws and useless goverment. Our right to use handguns for sport was taken away from us. the law abiding handed them over the criminals did not.Dont let them take away your right, you will never get it back.Best wishes t
yeah but just because they make a law doesn't mean they can force us ther's a few hundred of those over payed snobs and several million of use pissed off people so if we all decide to stand up together what can they realy do. i'm nit an anarchist but i just want my freedoms and i will defend them to the death if i have to. obamas regiem is a disgrace to the founding fathers and all they stood for
The gun grabbers are the same in all developed countries. Elitist, beurocratic, big goverment control freaks particularly in the media and emotional, knee jerk mommies who "just don't like guns". I'm not saying all mothers are overprotective, anything like that. However, I noticed a lot of gun grabbers to be worried mothers who don't bother to understand guns.
oh shut up watcher3223. "The bear arms jokes works only if you ignore english grammer" etc etc... shut up man. you are such a liberal, trying to use "Technicallity" or w/e to help you try to change things in this world that u dont like. suck it up hippie
Apparently gun violence is a lot worse then knife violence. What does it matter if 100 people die at the hands of a gun as opposed to a knife? This guy isn't very clever.
@TheFirearmEnthusiast You can't go on mass murdering sprees in schools or public places with knives, unless you're good at throwing them and even then.. :P But we have a right to bare arms to stop an oppressive government force from fucking up our lives they're trying hard to remove that right though and harder to screw up any kind of freedom we have.
my country malaysia bans the possession of any form of firearms.how many of our girls must be rape becoz the cannot defend themselves.how many more innocent people must fall victim because they cannot protect themselves....is a gun an evil hardware,or is it a god's instrument to scare / terminate evil.remember the movie karate kid pt 1,why learn karate.?so i don't have to fight...
many people miss-understand guns ... a tool isn't bad or good yes it can be poorly made but a gun isn't good or bad its just a tool like a hammer . tools are dangerous they can be used hurt and kill but still they are neither good or bad . guns don't kill people, people kill people
The "bear arms" joke works only if you ignore English grammar.
How can you interpret the object "bear arms" from "the Right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?"
It doesn't make grammatical sense unless you deliberately take out two words (keep, and) to make it sound like the joke implies (the right of the people to bear arms).
Because the actual phrase says to "keep and bear," the word "bear" can only be properly interpreted in its verb form, not noun form.
The militia, in context of the 2nd, is unorganized and made up of ordinary adult citizens of the USA. It's purpose was to permit defense against tyranny in any and all forms, big and small, foreign and domestic.
From a single thug, to an invading foreign army, all the way to our own government.
It's there as a measure to ensure the People can defend their other pre-existing rights as well as to ensure the limits to government power are applied.
Since the 2nd is there for the People to be able to limit the power of the government, and the government is so afraid of that they are trying to kill the 2nd Amendment, it appears that we have us a power hungry tyrannical government on our hands.
im in los angeles.... i have no criminal record, and this is my only chance of.... um.... SURVIVAL! criminals have ak 47s and handguns with 16 round magazines... why can't i own ar 15 with a 30 round mag? but in texas *white majority* there are legal. and you can carry guns around in the southwest.... laws and money, where do they merge?
My family lives 30 minutes away from any large urban area, if we call 911 the police might as well bring the Hearse... because if we allow bureaucrats to take away our constitutional right to bear arms... me and my family will have no why of defending yourselves... Im not alone in my concern there is an estimated 150 million Americans that could face similar danger... criminals carefully pick their victims, praying on the weak and venerable.
Worry not INVESTORMARK1, there are still good men out here that will stand and if that would be an act of suicide, then it would be a good day to die.

Well if there's any doubt about the wording and intent of the 2nd Amendment, lets just ask the man that wrote it.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
-Thomas Jefferson
The founding Fathers gave us the right to bear arms to prevent a gov't forming, much like the gov't they had just conquered. Self defense is also a right.
That fucking reporter is as dumb as fuck. The people is the militia and the militia is the people. It seems he doesnt know the constitution either. Not only citizens have the right to keep and bear arms for self defense and hunting, but also to stand up , oppose ans rise against the goverment to overthrow the goverment if they get abusive, oppresive, tyranista and if the goverment starts to threat our freedom and liberty. Banning guns to me sounds like an act tof limiting our freedom and rights.
If more guns causes more violence then how come nobody ever gets killed at the gun shows here in Texas? How come maniacs like the V-Tech guy never go on a rampage at a gun store or a police station? Lack of guns is far more likely to result in trauma than "too many guns".
@Violative911 fuck the democrats? the republicans are just douchebags who dont like anyone and always seem to either judge people by religion or sexual orientation. and sometimes race.
its not about demoblicans or republicrats get your head out of your arse and start deprogramming and more so START THINKING instead of blasting stupidities

In America where I live shit like that is everywhere and will never stop along with gun toting mexican drug cartels and human trafficers (nothing against mexicans in case that might have been offensive) so we at least need guns... and to MyHoose13 and Violative911 republicans aren't over judgemental douchebags just sayin.

@romeoneverdies i know that. its just that here noone breaks into someones house carrying an ilegal gun. Robbers are poor and black gun market is kinda exclusive. gangs dont gather around guns, they dont talk about it. Guns just arent part of culture here. i think thats the reason. culture. guns are a big part of american culture unlike european.

@kaaajeee We have the right to bare arms to protect ourselves from the government so that some muslim fuck doesn't kill us all after they forcefully insert themselves into the government or a totalitarian or socialist leader can be stopped through violent revolution. You may be happy catering to the will of madmen and dictators and hope to never accomplish anything worth mentioning in your pathetic life but don't force that on people like me through taxation and violation of human rights.

@kaaajeee the point isnt "gun crime", its violent crime in general. you probably dont have the massive violent south american drug gang problem that parts of the US have either. 90% of all gun violence in the US comes from these sources or are innocent casualties of it. if you propose a solution to that problem, then i might entertain the idea of maybe thinking about giving up my right to keep a gun. until then, stay the hell out of my home or you leave in a body bag.
fakiir 1 year ago
@fakiir Never, ever "entertain the idea of maybe thinking about giving up" your right to keep a gun. Even if the sources of all "gun violence" were eliminated, there still remains the actual original reason for the 2nd amendment to the U.S. constitution: protection from tyrannical government. NEVER offer to give up your God-given, constitutionally-protected rights for ANY reason!

They seem to miss the point. The second amendment has absolutely nothing to do with self defense or hunting. Owning a gun to protect yourself and feed your family was so obvious to the founding fathers that they felt no need to mention it.
After all, what kind of crazy world would we live in if people wanted to leave you defensless in the face of criminal attack? That could never happen!
The REAL purpose of the second amendment is to give the people the means to overthrow the government.

There is overwhelming evidence with mountains of statistics and books proving guns do prevent home invasions and are a reasonable means of self-defense. Anyone individual disagreeing with these proofs are either illiterate or have an ulterior motive of disarming American citizens!

Yeah I was aiming higher but I have not seen much combat, none with active fire, (I'm civilian, but martial artist, golden gloves, etc. cancerous cripple now...lol) so I was slower then ever, in worse shape then ever. But I still managed to get the drop, and my gun saved my life. The cops called me a "hero"

The "bear arms" joke works only if you ignore English grammar.
How can you interpret the object "bear arms" from "the Right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?"
It doesn't make grammatical sense unless you deliberately take out two words (keep, and) to make it sound like the joke implies (the right of the people to bear arms).
Because the actual phrase says to "keep and bear," the word "bear" can only be properly interpreted in its verb form, not noun form.

The militia, in context of the 2nd, is unorganized and made up of ordinary adult citizens of the USA. It's purpose was to permit defense against tyranny in any and all forms, big and small, foreign and domestic.
From a single thug, to an invading foreign army, all the way to our own government.
It's there as a measure to ensure the People can defend their other pre-existing rights as well as to ensure the limits to government power are applied.
And it's the right to KEEP and bear arms.
Watcher3223 2 years ago

Well if there's any doubt about the wording and intent of the 2nd Amendment, lets just ask the man that wrote it.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
-Thomas Jefferson
The founding Fathers gave us the right to bear arms to prevent a gov't forming, much like the gov't they had just conquered. Self defense is also a right.

That fucking reporter is as dumb as fuck. The people is the militia and the militia is the people. It seems he doesnt know the constitution either.

Banning guns to me sounds like an act tof limiting our freedom and rights.
