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  Peace Out |

I'm not sure if any of you have been on both ends of the barrell but let me just give a real life account.
My best friend blew his own brains out. My uncle was caught in the crossfire and was killed at 25. And I have been held up at gunpoint on more than one occasion. My family opposes guns... to an extent. I oppose guns... to an extent. Afew weeks ago, a few guys were on my property trying to steal my car, but a 20gauge shotgun spoke otherwise. My little cousin was almost raped, but her .45 let out a cry for help right in the guy's spine. Thank God for guns. |
