America's gun obsession

The United States has had a gun control problem for years but recently with the shooting of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, it seems to have been thrust into America's conscious yet again. What is the answer to this violence and what should the US do about its gun problem? RT's Dina Gusovsky is joined by Radio Host Adam Kokesh and Author Kevin Powell to discuss guns in America.

people killed people before guns so if you ban guns people with kill each other in different ways.

also banning guns will not keep guns out of the hands criminals. it would only affect the law following citizens.

@CopSpiller i know how to spell, i did manage to get into university you know (the name is a gamer tag)

as someone who has studied these things, gun laws must be not only very strict but almost to the point at which its a complete ban for society to operate. Would you allow nazis to have freedom of speech? no, if you want freedom you must prove its of worth. after years of study i have also come to a conclusion that humans cannot advance without control and some level of discipline

@ANIOLATORV You can't even spell annihilator so who's the fucking idiot now? Go cry about people who love freedom some more, you worm.

I am only going to be sexist to this bitch: Go back to the kitchen. And Keven you are not patriotic you fucking idiot!! If the scum bag that went on the shooting spree ran in with a knife, are you going to ban knives or limit the blade length of knives too and blame them??? Morons.

Don't ban guns america we in the UK did and it resulted in a 80% increase in crime!!! Why you ask? Because what it then meant is now only the violent criminals have guns and we're at the mercy of anyone (government or civilian criminal) who has one. Just look at switzerland there all armed to the teeth and they have the lowest crime rate in the world!!!

everyone should have guns so we can get the stupid people off the streets by shooting them like they did in the old west take it into the streets and stop effing around with the law

Kevin powell should've been kicked off the show immediately after calling adam unpatriotic. His sacrifice to your country is the reason you have enough free speech to say that he is unpatriotic. I hope one day kevin goes to new mexico and Adam has to pull his gun to protect him. Then maybe he will understand the true meaning of patriotism.

@lucius1976 When the constitution was written, the militia WAS the people. They wanted the people to be safe from a tyrannical governmental overthrow. And just for the record, look up switzerland. The entire population is the militia. Not too many people invading them lately?

[CopSpiller]

Want my guns? Come get em! If not, keep whining and i'll keep laughing at you!HAHAHAHA!!

[lucius1976]

2nd amendment actually speaks of milita who can bear guns. Who is milita? Never heard of a milita anywhere in the world where a milita is the entire population.
