There has a been a big debate in the U.S. lately about firearms. The government wants to take away firearms from the public but the public is fighting back actively.
Your opinions on this would be great. I love debating and thought I would start the first topic. I will post my opinions also along with yours.

I think it might have to be banned because there are weird people who like to kill and abuse weapons. IF America was like CANADA, then maybe it would be okay to not ban it. I don't know, in Canada, the gun thingy is high, but the killing rate from guns is oh so low. People just need to get real, guns are for protection, right? So, stop killing!
I don't have a definte answer for this. I pass.

I think it should be banned... cuz there are alot of other way's to protect your self if you think bout it, i mean you don't alwayz need a firearm to protect ur self, i agree with tanya cuz if we juss stop messing around with firearms n stop killing people then we would'nt need to ban it.

my question to tanman was "what is you opinion of gun control" what do you think safe control of guns is, how should this be handled, explain.
To the rest, I think guns are good things and they shouldn't be banned. Yes people kill others and do insane things but that can't be stopped. Think about it. Will making possesion of weapons really stop it, no. They'll just get them from other places and bad people will make millions by dealing them out. IF they are legal however, these bad people won't come to power and make that money and good citizens can still enjoy them and use them for defense. Even if an attacker doesn't have a gun, lets say he robs my house and he's an expert karate dude. I couldn't stop him without a gun, he's beat the crap out of me and whoever else and take whatever he wanted, or kill whoever he wanted.
Last but not least, my favorite argument in this debate.
The second amendment (or article) in the constitution says that citizens can carry fire arms. Also, since the number 2 is between 1 and 10, that means its in the first 10 amendments and therefore in the bill of rights (the first 10 amendments) and it specifically says that they are rights that CAN NOT be taken away.
Lets just say guns are unsafe and need to be taken away. We should not let this happen just because of the very fact that the government has too much control already. The founders of our country gave "the people" power and some of our powers and rights are gone already. I hate to put it this blunt and frank, but it comes down to two things, if we don't stop them now, we can either let them have total control someday or resort to a bloody revolution.

i was merely using karate as an example. I'm saying if someone wanted to come beat the crap out of me, say, with a metal pipe, i couldn't stop them.

Karate can kill, but it is taught mostly to give, self awareness and spiritual stuff. People just assume it's only for hurting and protection, it can be, but that's not why it was made.

yes, its for protection and all that but I was merely using it as an example as someone "could" do that (keyword could) i didn't say someone would, it was an example, any other opinions?
