Geez, after reading this thread I'm sure glad I don't live in the USA where there are more guns than there are people....That would make even me paranoid!..Hell, I don't even lock my doors at night, and have never had a problem...The chances of even a burglar having a gun here is remote...
150.000 people killed by guns in the last ten years.
It is quite interesting,I talked to my mother tonight,mentioned the shooting and she told me how there were news stories about all the shootings and gun crime happening there.
Nobody really knows if Americans are tough enough today to dislodge a dictator who abolishes elections and makes himself president-for-life with military backing, but the one thing that's certain is that disarming certainly won't improve our chances. It'll certainly involve much more than simply owning weapons - in truth, an attempt to remove such a dictator would rely on the seizing of weapons depots and the recruitment of both active duty and retired military personnel, as well as civilians to handle logistical issues and prepare and disseminate propaganda. But the starting point, as in the Revolutionary War, would be a stash of personal weapons and ammunition. The software is important, too - we need to have a population that not only has weaponry, but is also used to handling weaponry.
What if they can't show up fast enough and someone with a gun is trying to break in?
For ford's sake, it's stuff.
It disgusts me how people thing that their things are more important than lives.
That they'll sacrifice lives for their stuff.
This is one of the reasons why I dislike US culture so very much.
Get your priorities straight, it's STUFF.

Like Bush said, it would be easier if he were dictator for life.
But we don't have dictator in the US.
We have duly elected officials (except when Bush was selected by the SC).
This is not the 1700s.
Your comparison is ridiculous.
I'll never touch a gun in this life.
I don't need to and I have no desire to.

And if they want to rape you,it is just your body...get over it.

Wy don't we just make it so that the voting machines work well.
The article says "murdered" but doesn't say how they were killed. Cain killed Able with a rock. How many deaths have been caused by using cell phones while driving in the past ten years?
Well, actually, they were murdered by the person holding the gun pulling a trigger that fired a projectile that cause the injury leading to death. But, why let the truth get in the way.
How many deaths in motor vehicles in the past decade? How many lives ended by abortion in the past decade?
Selective outrage as to the value of life by the gun banners.
You don't need a gun to protect your house. That's what the police are for, you know?
How do the police protect all the houses since there are many fewer than one per house available? They are going to arrive too late to protect most of us no matter what we manage to do.
