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?

Arbitrary Criteria = Criteria that a group of beaucrats decide on without due process of law, for example "competency" to use guns.

well.. why cant they decide on the "competency" with due process of law?

Fact: Civilian gun ownership is the BEST proven deterrent to foreign invasion, and also to oppressive government.

The Nazis overran every country in Northern Mainland Europe during WWII, except Switzerland. Why? Because of guns. (also because of Swiss foreign policy, but mainly guns) Every Swiss household had guns. Swiss youths were taught to shoot at 300 yards, while Germans were taught to shoot at 100 yards. Hitler learned from the fact that the Red Army suffered massive casulaties trying to inavde tiny little Finland, and Switzerland was spared Nazi invasion.

Yes, but consider the chances that a foreign army will invade our soil, its not very likely.. so you're saying that if we ban gun ownership, our government will start to oppress us and foreign armies will invade?


Erm.. i didnt realli follow most of it (not much into politics) but:

Long story short, in a Republic, we ARE the law enforcement. We, the citizen body, must do our best to ENFORCE THE LAWS UPON THE GOVERNMENT, and defend the Constitution. To do so, sometimes, the ballot box isn't enough. We need guns.

We need guns? what exactly do our guns do for us?
