Guns, Are they necessary? Options

[synatribe]

So besides guns being allowed in the military, do you think guns should be allowed into regular peoples hand even if they have a license or a permit for it?

Many countries that are expected to surpass the US in a couple years do not allow guns, they only allow it for strict military reasons and defense reasons. Should US adopt this too?

Opinions welcome, Cussing someone out and bashing isnt :]

Firearms and weapons systems are necessary tools for acheiving missions and maintaining balance in a world with dictators like KJII.

The posession of firearms should have strict regulations but it should not be illegal. Have you ever had an armed burglar break into your home? Without a firearm, how could you possibly manage to defend yourself if he became aggressive and violent?

In a perfect world, firearms would not be needed for self defense and they can be used as tools for military action or for the sport of marksmanship. We do not live in a perfect world.

In my OP I supported the military having guns

I think without guns there would be less break in's and burgularies, I mean guns can cause confidence, if you were expecting to break into someones house without a gun, you would have to rely on complete fighting skills. This would also allow people to go out and learn self defense skills (not really important). There would for sure be fewer house break in's from younger more aggressive people, also I would rather be attacked with a knife or a stick rather then a gun cause at least I have a chance at defending myself and in court cases, at least you cannot be tried for murder if you defend yourself without a gun, people use guns to defend themselves and eventually get tried for murder, which is even worse in my opinion.

Whether you have guns or not does not really define a perfect world, it could be a safer world. What if, allowing guns into the hands of the public is actually hindering us from a utopia?

You can't present an argument based on facts and rely solely on your opinion to get you through the debate without any facts to back up.

Virtually anywhere you search, the focal point is how dangerous guns are and how many crimes were committed with the use of a firearm. When, in reality, take a look at the big picture, you'll find that many of these crimes were committed with the use of an illegally obtained weapon.

"In a perfect world..." perhaps you misunderstood me. I meant to say that there shouldn't be a need for firearms in such a capacity. Our society has far more hindering us from a utopia than the legal posession of firearms.
