Opening line from an article on the Washington Times entitled
EDITORIAL: Guns decrease murder rates"More guns in law-abiding hands mean less crime. The District of Columbia proves the point."
- Colombia proves a lot of points...oey
- Washington Times. Conservative Rag. Of course they will say guns are good.CanHasQBN

This post tells you all you need to know: http://www.qbn.com/topics/675750…
I don't see how you can make the argument with a straight face that less guns doesn't = less violence.
There could well be other reasons why gun ownership is a good thing, but the idea of it deterring crime isn't supported by the facts
- that post supports your argument, not the rights of people who far outnumber criminalsalbums
- The state of Vermont has the most lax gun laws in US, second to last highest gun death ratelocustsloth
- But let it be known that i think restrictions on people killing guns is necessarylocustsloth

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
This 2nd amendment that pro-gun folks keep humping was written so that if the government got out of line, we could form militias to combat it. Musket to musket, cannon to cannon.
What the hell is your militia going to do against today's USA military? Absolutely nothing. A thousand militias? Nothing. They'd be fleas on the military's back. They could wipe us out with the flip of a switch, and you think you're going to be a hero with your 9mm tucked in your pants.
Also it's funny how the same people who are so pro-gun are simultaneously very pro-military and are always in favor of spending huge amounts of taxpayer money on funding it. You would think they would be opposed to military spending.
You built up the military so mighty, but you'll never be able to put up a fight.
It's not really about the 2nd amendment anymore. It hasn't been for 100 years. Gun owners grasp for excuses to justify their need for a killing machine. It's all psychological. They are scared, paranoid people. They've got little-man syndrome. They like to call liberals "pussies". Hey, you're the one who feels the need to own a gun... who's the real vag?

I understand why you can't vote on that (gun possession), but still, one day it has to stop.

Guns make violence easy and disproportionate.

so many problems in the world are caused by stupid people that define themselves, and their limited capacity to think, according to some words written in a document or book and a some point in history.
