2nd Amendment: The Right To Kill People?, Is it time to amend the US Constitution? Options

[hardbodyactiv]

Considering that USA have more deaths by the deliberate use of firearms than all 21 affiliated countries in Europe, Canada and Australia...approximately 500,000,000 (five hundred million) people, do you not think that it is about time that the US Constitution was amended to outlaw the purchase and use of firearms and restrict their sale to private individuals only for the purpose of hunting and only allowing these to be of the shotgun or rifle variety?

Long question I know and perhaps a bit deep...but most of you will at some time or other encounter a firearm incident if you live in the Continental US and it is even more likely if you live in certain urban areas or states such as Texas, Florida, California or New York. Perhaps this is due to State in addtion to Federal legislation and also perhaps an explosive mix of different social & ethnic backgrounds.

Please don't just post yes or no as you must have a reason to give an answer

if every citizen were issued an assult rifle which they carried, there would be no crime, save murders.

hey, you're stopping rape, robbery, muggings, etc.

it's great, isn't it?

I don't think you can make that conclusion, it is not that easy.

Here is the key point: Criminals do not obey laws. What would laws actually do to stop criminals? On the other side 1,000 innocent people a year die from gun accidents, i'm still torn between both sides. I don't need a gun, will never need a gun, and i certainly wouldn't feel safer owning a gun. I don't think i trust most civilians having guns on them, it is just too easy to pull a trigger on someone.
