    Car owners are most likely to be killed by their own cars too. Let's get rid of them.

    See, everything has its risks. Let's keep the ban-train in the station.

    Well I have posted some but you obviously chose not to read them. Really good Harvard study!!

    oxymoron. right to bear arms, well regulated militia = compulsory to a, say it with me now, free state.
    I can;t actually believe someone is interpreting the 2nd amendment as compulsory Btw you are a militiaman ??


    Right, and the UK knife bans have worked so well
    And this relates to present discussion on American gun ownership how ??? But an Australian strengthening of gun control which did have positive results, does relate.

    I never said it was a bad thing, I merely stated that the rest of the world needs to not be so egotistical and yuppy sounding as if they're so ethically and morally righteous than everyone else.
    This is a gun issue "not a a world against America" issue


    see how that works? plur mannnnn.
    I didn't think it worked actually.


    Exactly, the government needs to crack down on the illegal arms trading, not on the citizens of the US who legitimately and legally hold firearms. But I guess none of these self-righteous world lovers ever followed the DC gun ban overturn. If you don't like guns, fine, but don't come barking up our tree telling us we shouldn't have them and that we're logically inept for having them.
    Once again you try to turn this into an anti American thing. One thing these forums have taught me is that there are many, many different opinions held by Americans on all issues. And thankfully there are many, many who disagree with you on this issue.

    It has nothing to do with being America, we just don't like to see you killing yourselves. It's anti gun thing , not an anti American thing.

    Once you strip away the rhetoric we get back to the fact that if you are any ordinary householder that owns a gun , you are far more likely to die from a gun, and there is a very good chance the gun will be yours.


    The most apparent thing about the 2nd amendment is the controversy about the interpretation. Apparently a lot of American critics as well as foreign critics don't agree with a lot of the posters here.

    when you are in the post window, look for the youtube button, it is right below the bold B button. click the youtube button. if you scroll over it, it will say "wrap [youtube] tags around selected text." clicking that will make the brackets appear below. then just copy your choice youtube url (not the embedded option though) and paste it in between the brackets, and bingo! it will appear in text at first, but when you "submit reply" it will show the video in the post. not the cleanest directions but hopefully that helps.

    Honestly, I don't think you read the thread then. You have posters lambasting our intelligence by saying not having guns is common sense, which basically states that we're logically corrupt, without any regard as to why we have an amendment for it. And I didn't bring up statistics there buddy, your homeboy DIDI did, so the burden of proof isn't on me. I'm sorry that a significant portion of the people can't grasp the simple concept as to why we are allowed to own firearms.

    she is right though, just because you are allowed or have the right to do something doesnt mean you HAVE to.. most everyone over the age of 21 has the legal right to drink, but not every one does or feels like they have to
    Well no shit; the premise wasn't that we don't have the choice, the premise was essentially why we are allowed to have them in the first place.

    my point in this thread only has been yes it is a right, and i am fine with that, I choose not town one and thats my choice.. it is just unfortunate that:

    1. any idiot can get a gun just as easy as someone that has the maturity to own one

    2. there is so much illegal weapons trafficking, the above will never change

    banning is NEVER the answer, regulation is, but neither is realistically possible
