It is the governments job to protect people through law. Guns are obviously responsible for more loss of life than saving of lives.

You dont need to "protect yourself" with guns. If you get attacked chances are you wont have a gun on you. If no one has a gun, no one needs one to protect themselves. Who cares about some 200 year old right? You think the British are gonna try to invade America, and that ordinary people with guns could do anything to stop them? Be realistic, is it worth the loss of 1000s of lives just so you can have a right that doesn't make really affect you at all?

care to back up the statement that guns are more responsible for loss of life than saving lives? the opposite is true. guns are used anywhere from 40 to 80 times more often for protection than to kill, depending on if you believe demopublicans or republicrats...

you're incredibly ignorant of history. and how do you plan on getting rid of guns? anywhere strict gun control laws are in effect, that increases crimes. criminals who get guns (you're NEVER going to get rid of all guns) are more apt to break in to your house and shoot you because they figure you won't have a gun.

research any city that has strict gun control laws and compare it to cities that have lax gun control laws.

it seems logical that banning guns will make you safe, but it's just not true.
