If you use 'em responsibly and don't go reaching for it everytime the doorbell rings than I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be entitled to one. I'm for gun control, not gun abolishment.Quote:

the peoblem is irresponsible people DO have guns and if they dont they cant get them at any time(i've seen 9 y/o selling crackw/ a handgun on him on cops[the tv show that shows a cop on patrol answering calls for those not in the states)it makes you an irresponsible person by turning your back on the fact that they can and will get their hands on them if they want,its not an insult and im not saying your irresponsible in any other way,just that one.Quote:

Personally, I'd hide in the shadow near my door, and when the shit-for-brains comes waltzing in, I'll put a shell right into his knees. Then, as he lays screaming on the ground, I will cuff him with my handy zip-ties, drag his ass outside, then call the cops, "yeah, I just kneecapped a guy and now he's bleeding in my yard.... your gonna want to send a cruiser over... maybe an ambulance"
The lesson here is: Don't fuckign coem into random people's houses unless you want to die/become handicapped. Especially my house.... I'm a light sleeper.
yeah, irresponsible people get guns and hurt people. irresponsible people also get driver's liscenseS and hurt people. Just because some people are irresponsible doesn't mean you should ban the responsible ones from their rights.
The problem with it being easy to get guns is a black market thing. High demand plus lots of laws against it = ubiquitous black market, just like the black market for drugs came about.
The only solution is for eveyone to do their best to foster a healthy society, in whch people don't want to use guns or commit crimes. Since we don't have that, I'll be damned if I give up my only effective means of protection from the irresponsible fucked up members of our society. We cannot continue pointing our fingers at guns, or drugs, or foreigners or anything else commonly blamed, our society must grow up and point the finger at ourselves and learn we must change our own minds and hearts instead of trying to legislate our problems away. Since this ain't gonna happen on a large scale any time soon, you can pry my guns from my cold dead hands.

we should control guns, but making them more expensive and making them harder for legal users to get does not make us safer because people who buy on the black market don't follow those laws. That would only serve to disarm responsible people and allow the criminals to be armed. I agree that we should work to destroy the black market, by I also concede that it won't happen in our society until society matures. A vast majority of the guns used in crimes are black market guns, and most of the gun control laws don't do anything to stop this.
I'm definately willing to make sacrifices for the better of the world, but not ones that aren't going to do any good. I think the sacrifices that need to be made are those that involve a personal effort to uplift members our communities from poverty and ignorance. I wholeheartedly believe that most crime stems from poverty and the dehumanization that comes from being impoverished. I volunteer more hours than I work and spend more money on other people than my own education. I can see attitudes changing from violent to hopeful.
You cannot legislate the problem away with gun laws, you must create change in society, educate and uplift the poor, and work for a societal well being that reduces the need for violence.
