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 :]

nah

people should be able to have guns. i think there should be strict regulation, licenses, ect ect. although, no i don't think it's "necessary" that people have like big ass machine guns or something in their house. but if they were to take away the right to own a gun, then only the criminals will have the guns. the rest of us will just be screwed. i don't like guns and i'm not big on all that, but when i have a family and what not, there'll be a gun in my house. shit happens and i'm not about to be the one without any defense.


plus, our citizens are supposed to be able to protect themselves. we're supposed to have a militia of sorts.

I agree. Guns should definitely be allowed, but I think they should be limited to those that are willing to prove that they know how to handle them and be careful with them (licenses).
