    Peole say they need guns to keep them safe from the government

    What nonsense!

    How many school kids (gunned down) per year would it take for you to support repealing the 2nd?

    How do you stop so-call 'law abiding citizens' with legally owned firearms entering schools and massacring innocent children? The current system doesn't work...what is the answer?

    How many school kids (gunned down) per year would it take for you to support repealing the 2nd?

    Totally different situation. As I understand it, the idea is that the militia will stand up against a corrupt, tyrannical government, not defend against a foreign aggressor on an interventionist war. Ever heard of Salisbury - a tyrannical government has so much more at his disposal than guns...

    How many school kids (gunned down) per year would it take for you to support repealing the 2nd?

    Damn right I hate gun manufacturers and politicians who are only interested in making money, even at the expense of innocent lives. They cowardly hide behind the 2A, and fuel the paranoia of those who would buy in to this delusion. But rest easy, nothing is going to change, politicians aren't...

    Utterly deluded. The 2A is just a con, it allows gun manufacturers to continue to profit from peoples fear, and props up politicians who are funded by the powerful gun lobby.

    Any thought that maybe the entire 2A is a massive mistake?

    The 2A is a convenience for the pro-gun lobby to hide behind.

    There is nothing we can do.

    If the mass shooting of 21 including 18 children in not enough to change attitudes, nothing will. Far too much money involved in the firearms business and those businesses too close to politics to make a different. Anything thinking this is about personals rights or the second amendment is...

    What is more important to you, life or guns?

    Suicide is not a victimless crime, it affects family, friend etc. Likewise, for those murdered, there are also those injuries, those who suffer mental issues having witnessed the murder. So for every life lost, there are many others affected - and almost certainly forgotten in the statistics.

    What is more important to you, life or guns?

    By that logic, there should be less violent crime in the US than the UK, as the population density is higher in the UK. Discuss...

    What is more important to you, life or guns?

    Completely support your use of a gun for competition shooting, but you do not need to be armed, for a competition shoot. As for your latter reasoning, are you therefore concerned that the US is a dangerous place to warrant you carrying a gun?

    What is more important to you, life or guns?

    For what purpose do you choose to be armed?

    What is more important to you, life or guns?

    What is excessively harsh about the UK gun control laws. No one in the UK is complaining about them, no one is living in fear through the inability to obtain guns - quite the opposite really. In truth, many in the UK are looking across the pond in befuddlement at the USs inability to get a grip...

    What is more important to you, life or guns?

    I think you are referring to a very small set of data that does indeed show that the initial gun related murder rate did increase, but the general trend post 1996 has been a fall. The current rate is approx 50% lower than it was in 1996. Interestingly, the Australian rate also dropped by 50%...

    Reducing the speed limit to 25 mph versus banning CCW - which saves more lives?

    Do both. If reducing the speed limit will save lives - reduce it. If banning guns saves lives - ban them. It is not a choice about doing one or the other - you can do both. NO society should accept any needless death - it should continually strive to reduce them as far as possible, and never...
