USE Both Hands! |

Most handguns purchased for home protection are (1) stolen and used in other crimes, (2) used by
children to accidentally kill each other, or (3) used by the owner to commit suicide. In less than
1% of cases do gun owners successfully prevent a home crime with a gun.
So, while freedom is great, in the real world gun-freedom just kills innocent people. |

Gun control laws such as minors can't buy them, criminals can't buy them legally.. Those are good
gun control laws. Taking away guns is not going to stop people from killing each other. If I wanted
to kill someone, I could stick my pencil alongside their eyeball and they would die. I could put a
detonator in a bag of chicken manure and blow up a whole car full of people, should we outlaw
chicken manure? |

I agree with cephus. Gun control is a good thing. We do need to know how many guns are in
circulation, who has them, how secure are the weapons and how suitable is the gun holder to have
guns.
The issue as I see it is not about more laws making more killing illegal, it is about the control
issues I raised above. |

You have to have some form of control over guns. That doesn't mean banning them, it means
controlling who has them and making sure we know who has them. |

I agree with Johnshier. Gun control, if used as it is meant to be used, which is registration, and
documentation, is a good idea. However, democrats and liberals take gun control as "we control all
the guns, which means you get none." when in the real world, can't and doesn't work, as criminals
can and do get guns regardless of gun control laws. And an unregistered weapon in the hands of a
criminal is more dangerous than an armed registered citizen. |

I am against using the vague term of "Gun Control" because it is subjective.
Gun Control means to me:
-Registering weapons.
-Making sure nobody takes registered guns away from citizens.
The 2nd Amendment states "a well regulated militia" is "necessary to the security of a free
State"
If it's 'regulated' somebody should know. Black market guns and secret guns aren't regulated.
In my opinion an unregistered weapon is a serious offense. Much more offensive would be ignoring
constitutional law. |

Gun control is a good theory but it doesn't pan out. Countless "gun free" zones have been
sites of mass mruders now, proving that adding laws on top of more laws on top of more laws doesn't
effect outlaws because they just disregard them anyway so not only do they still end up killing
people but the people they kill have no chance of defending themselves because the law says theyr'e
not allowed to carry weapons, let alone fire them. |

Every smart person should have a gun. Too many stupid people do. If more smart people had guns, more
stupid people would be dead or in jail, and our lives would be better. |

If you make gun control laws you'll only take guns away from good, law abiding citizens.Criminals
don't licence guns anyway.I believe punishment should be harder for owning an illegal gun.That'll
discourage criminals from using firearms while still protecting our rights.Plus banning arms is a
fashist policy. |

While I believe gun control is a good thing (use two hands) creating laws only makes it harder for
those who liberals say it's OK to have guns get them. Gun control laws don't stop bad guys from
getting guns. That's why they're called bad guys. They don't care about the law.
I think it should be a law that there is a well maintained firearm in every home in America. Not
for any reason other than to shove my principles down someone else's throat for a change. |

I'm for Gun elimination, let the law and
military have them, the city where the President signs laws is flooded with gun crimes, and that's
practically the tour
capital of the world, now the murder capital of the country. This is where they legislate such laws,
in D.C. Babies own the guns, Babies that can't even vote yet,
And in D.C. Babies are dying, that's like arming the middle easterners, then saying
"Hey they have weapons of mass destruction, " Let's arm ourselves and go get them. A weapon of mass
destruction is a child with a gun. |

Gun control means, hitting your target. You must be able to defend yourself and your loved ones and
property. Or the bad guys will take it all from you while you watch and say to yourself, "well I
obeyed the law, why didn't he" Don' be naive. |

Guns don't kill people. I DO!! If our government were to ever fall apart (Jericho, V for
Vendetta...) we have the constitutional right to bear arms. If we get rid of that right we can't
protect ourselves from our own government |

Making more laws just makes shooting someone more illegal not less common |
