We all know that guns can cause harm, they're everywhere darnit!
Primarily, who can own them? Who shouldn't own them? |

So how many people in America have used guns in the appropriate manner? Self defense from another person with a gun? Surely that person wouldn't have a gun in the first place if they were banned.
QUOTE The police are PART of the GOVERNMENT. If only the police have guns, what will ordinary people do when the police become the instrument of oppression? I kind of doubt that ordinary people with handguns would be able to supress the government if they did turn against their people. I understand your argument of WHY guns are legalised in America because it's a "free" country and all that, but does the preparation for the very slight chance that the government might turn the police against their own people outweigh all the crimes that occur because of guns? |
