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?

1) It's very releveant. The BATF barbecued 100 American civilians at Waco. The DEA has ONE MILLION Americans in arrest -- mostly because of non-violent offenses that wouldn't have been considered criminal in 1920.

what are those organizations? Remember that you're speaking to inferiors here

2) I am in favor of civilians owning assault weapons. Law enforcement does. And we are what enforces the law upon the government.

And you dont worry at all about the misuse of assault weapons? If civilians could own assault weapons, wouldnt that make gang wars or robberies a lot more violent and harder for police to manage?

3) Guns are NOT more often abused than the press. Ask the government if they would rather control the media or the guns, I guarantee you they will say the media. The media controls minds. Guns can't. Ask any deposed dictator. Sure, in their last moments, they might have been shot by a civilian with a gun, but their downfall was begun in the media.

I acknowledge that.. but the media is controlled by less ppl, whereas guns would be available to all who desire them
