y do people bitch about how guns r so bad?

[Sheps]

You yanks should buy some guts and try hand to hand combat to settle your differences, thats why you people have no honour! There is no skill or bravery in gunning a man down 20 yards away.

The right to bare arms is the dumbest thing i've ever heard, and the ability to over throw the government lmao, Yeah so you 300,000 dead rednecks with glocks when they tried to rise against the trigger happy M16 wielding testorone field trained soldiers.

Its so dumb, thats like saying, hey mr bank robber, you could bust in here with your bare hands and demand money, OR we could make it legal for you to have a gun and things will go alot smoother.

So lemme geuss this right everyone has the right to defend themselves from everyone else with guns....... Talk about giving the gorrilla a machine gun.

Anyone that thinks its ok to carry weapons that were made for killing is has a loose grip on reality, As far as hunting goes, well thats just a balless tasteless slaughter of innocent animals, Those 40 year old beer drinking rednecks must feel like big men shooting an non threatening child of mother nature. I could understand if it was for food but its not, its just for the fun of it, why dont you just shoot other people who can shoot back........ opps! I forgot you DO do that as well!

[Gandalf]

and what do people use guns for anyway?

Hunting....it's still legal here. Protection too. I mean the saying goes "Outlaw guns and only criminals will have them".

American citizens deserve the right to bare arms, we have the right to overthrow the government by force if we do not agree with the way things go (of course knowing our military, that is a huge crapshoot)

guns are not cool....

I don't think anyone needs an AK-47 to hunt deer

How do I buy guts? Is there a gut store? And can I buy honour too or is that something I get when I buy the guts? Btw theres plenty of skill in gunning a man down from 20 yards away, ever try that? It's tough! Don't get me wrong I see what you're saying, I've been there myself, and everyone has but but but... The way you're coming off is that of a person who is VERY inexperienced in the world. It's a waste of time bitching about the current situation with firearms, if you're so concernced try to think of a way to better the situation. The conclusion you're gonna come to will more than likely be 'oh damn theres nothing I can do'. That should help defuse the bitterness thats leaking from your last post. It's a vidy vidy different world now, and if you think it's still cool to throw down anytime anywhere in the name of 'honour', well you're forgetting about the psychotics of the world who genuinely don't give a shit about your existance or honour, and will end you when the time is right (I kinda like that mentality myself). Hunting was once a way to survive, I imagine you'd of read that in the history books (sounds like you're still in school). BTW 'You yanks' is very derogatory and condascending - and it's hard to make someone feel little when you're coming off as naive and inexperienced.

And if I've trained in hand to hand combat and own multiple firearms I'm twice as safe, ever think of that?!

Ak's are meant to fix the worlds population epidemic, der

Everyone should own an Ak-47 and find someone to use it on atleast once a month

More power to ya brother! I've personally been robbed a few times (my gun being stolen one of those times) and the idea of a thief makes me wanna do horrible things. Theres a serial rapist/thief on the loose in my area right now, he's hit all the cities surrounding me. His method is to either break in or catch you outside, hold you at gunpoint, tie you up, steal your valuables (of course rape you if you're a woman). Add in all the other random robberies, murders, and everything else that goes on in big cities you'll feel comfortable sleeping next to a .38 special.

you don't need guns. period.
Nobody has told me a decent answer on why they might need them, guns motivate crime.

[raleights]

step outside of your safe little world and see young man

[The_One77]

yep, its safe here because people don't have no guns to threaten me with

I live in the UK where guns are illegal, but it is not completely factual to say that there are no guns here. Making them illegal means that only lawbreakers have them, so they are one step higher in the 'arms race' against law-abiding citizens. If everyone could have guns, I think that there would be less opportunistic burglaries for example.

Having said that, if you make a mistake with a gun, shoot the wrong person etc, the damage done is pretty irreparable. Also, there really would be an arms race if everyone had guns - we would be dealing with poeple regularly using MAC-10s and all sorts of shit.

I think banning guns only works if EVERYONE has not got one.Therefore sentences should be much higher to those people caught with them.

People have made the inevitable point that it is not guns that kill people, but people that use them who do. People then say 'oh, well then why don't you ban cars as well because they kill, more people'. The logic does not really stand up as guns prime purpose is to shoot people whereas cars are for transporting people and crashes are an incidental matter.

Not a good argument on a boxing forum, as ours is one of the only sport where the one objective is to hit and hurt your opponent !!!!
