Guns, who should be able to own them? Options

[*NatiMarie*]

We all know that guns can cause harm, they're everywhere darnit!

Primarily, who can own them? Who shouldn't own them?

Okay, let's think about this scenario: say we have this continuing war with some country, and eventually, they unexpectedly attack our civilians. Us civilians have nothing to do; nothing to protect ourselves from their guns. Would you want a gun then? Or just simply when someone breaks into your house, wanting to kill your wife/child/husband...you don't know how to fight; they have a gun...would you want one then? Granted, you're not planning to kill the other person, but just...self defend. Why should the government be involved in this? They set down the amendment, saying we have the right to bear arms. Nothing more to it.

A lot of people seem to support the illegalisation of guns in countries such as the United States, but how come I've never heard of people supporting the legalisation of guns in countries where gun possession is illegal, such as Western Europe?

How do you know that? Also, they're not in great danger as we are at the moment, seeing as we're in a war. Furthermore, because no one's allowed to have guns, criminals break in using other weapons. We, on the other hand, have people that break in with guns. You need to fight gun with gun, right? Opposed to Western Europe's knife/knife or fist/fist. Haha that sounded really stupid, but oh well. Anywho, you like bringing up Western Europe, don't you?
