Would you give up your antibiotics if it saved just one kids life?
See its that simple, yes or no. And your really comparing antibiotics to guns? So we'll use the same hypothetical premise "If giving up your antibiotics worked would you give them up to save 1 child?" Yes I would, that's a fairly easy answer.

I don't think gun control will work but that's not what this thread is about why don't you answer the question the OP presented instead of getting so defensive about guns.
The OP is worded as though, ONE gun is given up, not all. To answer THAT question, yes I would. ...this is still assuming the gun is the problem. Get rid of all guns and all killings would stop. I agree with you that gun control will not work.

Lol somehow nobody sees that they just get real defensive about gun control.

"What's your favorite vacation spot?" "WHAT?!? you mean gun control?? it won't work and here's why...."

Personally, I don't think gun controls gonna work but this thread is just making people look stupid.

The idea is not if one gun would save a life, its would you go along with a total ban if somehow you knew by what ever means that it would stop someone from getting a semi auto from somewhere and there by stop a shooting, and if not does the number of lives saved make your answer change? Its a pure ethical question like if you knew a man was going to die from cancer in three months but by pushing him off a bridge it stopped a bus from hitting a bunch of kids and there by saved their lifes would you push him off the bridge.

Many hear want to argue about what color the bus was. They show themselfs not able to abstract thinking. Idiots.

I don't own an assault rifle and don't know what you mean but I wouldn't just give it up because Obama and Pelosi wanted it if I did.

Its a question to see what the mentality and morality of gun owners is. I think your scard to answer the question or to see how gun owners will act.
Your poll questions point at an agenda to me and you say there is none. Sorry but I just can't accept that.
