Guns should be made illegal

Guns have caused nothing but death and destruction. America as a whole would be better of without them. How would you feel about this situation if a loved one was injured or killed in a gun Incident??? If a baby runs around with scissors we take away the scissors. Why does this same logic not work with guns?? Edit: I stated my opinion respectfuly and I expect you to do the same. Edit:: I don't remember ever hearing about a mass stabbing or car crash killing 50 human beings. So Please dont use the people will kill people without guns argument. Edit::: the majority of mass shooting are not criminals. They got their guns legally and shot a bunch of people. Edit:::: I am not talking about illegal guns and gang violence specifically. Criminals will still find ways to get guns but none of the mass shooter have had criminal records. Edit::::: the argument that guns are needed to protect me because I can shoot someone that is going to shoot me will only lead to you getting shot faster. If someone had a gun out you would not be able to get yours and shoot them before they see you and shoot you in the spot.

  • You know how hard it would be to repossess every single civilian owned firearm in the U.S.? It's impossible.

    I love how you forget that taking away guns doesn't stop crime. Criminals will continue to get guns, and in the end, you're creating basically a second Prohibition, and everyone knows how well the first one worked 11 times guns saved the day: http://www.washingtontimes.com/multimedia/collection/good-guy-gun-stopped-bad-guy-gun/ 10 stories that prove guns save lives: http://m.townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2013/02/02/10-stories-that-prove-guns-save-lives-n1503549

    • Guns don't kill people. People kill people. There's an old proverb saying "if a tool is used for harm, it is not the will of the tool to do harm. It is the will of the tool's master." So arguably banning guns would be ineffective, as people would still kill people

            How am i going to hunt? I dont like bow hunting because i can barely get a deer with a gun (they never come out) but with a bow i also have a larger missing the hit factor.

          • You know what's the most retarded thing about this? After Sandy hook the teachers thought the best thing they could do to prevent more innocent children getting shot by nutters with guns was to arm themselves and bring the guns into the school. Well done America. Everyone just have a gun and go fukking nuts. Thin the gene pool out a bit.

            • Mental Health is the problem. People join ISIS because they're alone or depressed and ISIS gives them friends and a community to take part in that 'understands' them. Otherwise, usually people will shoot others because they simply enjoy it or have to, in order to continue stealing, or to escape the Law. Point is, removing guns would limit criminals from killing people, but we aren't Britain, they will find other ways to kill if they truly want to kill some one. Not only that but the sheer amount of people who do have guns won't want to give them up.

              • [quote]So Please dont use the people will kill people without guns argument.[/quote] "Don't use an argument that could prove my point wrong." You know most places that have banned guns saw a rise in crime for a short time then trended down and stayed at about the same as pre ban? Banning guns is not going to solve the problem. This isn't a gun issue. It's a mental health issue and terrorism issue. Your hearts in the right place because you want to stop violence but banning guns isn't going to stop violence. Humans are a violent species. Its in our nature.

                  I agree let's return to swords, shields, bows, slings, spears, Katanas, etc and see it won't make a difference.

You're far more likely to die in a car than get shot (unless your black)

When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

                        • You see, this is how I feel. If you continue to feel the way you do after reading this, then you have every right to. My opinion is that no law is going to hold back a criminal who is already breaking the law. Say we outlaw guns. They criminals will still get their hands on guns and they will continue to kill people, only difference is, now the people can't defend themselves. Drugs are illegal aren't they? If you were to look at the newspaper or watch the morning news without knowing that, you may not know that they were illegal due to the amount of stories on them. TL; DR We can make anything illegal but criminals will still abuse what lever it is

                            • You do know I can make a bomb out of sugar and a few other chemicals right? You do known can kill someone with a pillow? Or a knife? Hell, a teddy bear! Guns may make it easy, but taking guns away from the people who use them correctly will make it laughably easy to kill or rob them Hell, it'll only make the demand in the criminal underworld go up, making profits soar in illegal businesses, meaning more criminals will want them since it makes it that much easier And who is he victim? The people without firearms, who are left with other, less conventional means to defend themselves Do you honestly think a criminal will go "oh, well they banned guns, better go turn mine in"? No, they won't, they'll only want to keep it that much more Don't even go "oh but it's so much easier to kill" Wanna know why? Cause you want guns -blam!-ing banned You know what that means? Law abiding citizens can't get them You know what else that means? It makes it easier to rob or kill innocents, since a criminal will find other ways to get one
