They're neither good nor bad. You have people that use them for sport, then you have people that use them for murder. You have good and bad uses, but all in all, there's no good or bad about them. It depends on how a person uses them to determine how good or bad they can be.

I see no problem in them.

Guns in the hands of the populace is a good thing if the government also has guns.

Guns are our defense against oppressive governments. Therefore, I am all for gun ownership. Just make sure you know how to use it properly.

Certain guns are for hunting, certain guns are for self defense. Some guns have no purpose other than killing people. No one needs a machine gun except for the military or swat team. High rate of fires weapons should be banned, guns for hunting and self defense should require extensive background checks and be heavily moderated.

Less guns = less gun violence. NYC has outlawed guns and there is far less violence, very few countries have large problems with weapons, the US is one of them because guns are largely unregulated compared to other countries.

Outlawing guns is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment. Tisk, tisk, NYC.

In Canada it's very easy to get a gun above the 45th parallel, yet gun crime isn't a huge problem, so there goes your little theory.

What if you need to defend yourself against the military or swat team?

Any place that has outlawed guns may have less gun violence(duh), but often times they have higher levels of other kinds of violence. Just look at the UK. Their violent crime rate is 5 times what it in the U.S. The only difference is, people are stabbing and bludgeoning each other instead of shooting each other.

I say good to a point...

We should have guns...It's are ammendment..but DON'T GIVE STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS guns...Just because they are 18...fuck..can we be any dumber?

You all hate guns because of violence they cause on the streets. Its true, gang violence causes a lot of deaths. But I challenge some army to invade the United States. Could you imagine the insurgency? You think the Iraq insurgency is bad?

Well, I think that guns or any kind of weapons are bad for the whole world. But since no one listens, guns are good for our country. We don't want to be the only country who doesn't have a weapon. We need to protect ourselves from war.
