Topic: All people Should have the right to own Guns in our Society - page 3. (Read 425 times)
I can't agree with you at all. Not all people in any society should have the right to own guns, OP, the way you are trying to explain gun ownership is not the case, it would be the opposite. A society does not need to have guns in their homes by their own decision for crime to increase, it must be the government of a country to control crime. If you suffer from insecurity then it is the responsibility of the government of the country to provide security to your society. Having guns in the house means that people will show their strength against each other, will cause house-to-house conflict, and at some point the society will become bloody.
It differs per culture and country where you at, while in the US it's mostly a common thing for every citizen to have their own guns and bring it wherever they go. I'd disagree with that, I don't want to bring this kind of thing and I'm not a trigger happy person but I just want to live and don't have any desire to carry gun on me at all times...
Actually, it is more complex than that.
In the United States it has been proved that there is a very high number of guns in hands of civilians, but there is also a very high percentage of people who do not own guns, in the end, it is about people owning a lot of guns and others who do not own any.
Now, considering we are going through rough times and suddenly there was a change of laws in your country which could allow almost anyone in your country to conceal carry handguns. What would you prefer? To be armed knowing there must be people around you keeping guns hidden or dont have anything to defend yourself?
That is one of the theories on the proponents of the rights of the people to defend themselves against any threat. It is about you being careful with the people around you because they are likely armed, but as well about criminals having a second thought on mugging you, because theh do not know whether you are carrying or not. Theories like that have led people to believe gun violence problems can be solved by providing more guns into the equation, thrus why some lawmakers in the USA want teachers to carry guns concealed in case of a school shooting.

I know that it is a dangerous times it is but there is this kind of people like me that don't feel comfortable when I have one on my pocket or bag.
While allowing everyone to carry a gun, getting a license sure is a tricky thing as well. Some people might pass to psychiatric tests that will allow them to carry and don't have some signs of being a triggerhappy but eventually, when they get involve to some ruckus and situations, that will change as our behavior is different when we're with a gun. We become braver and emotions are too happy because you'd think that by just clicking the trigger one time, it will make you superior than the others. There's no problem about using it protection but I won't get into trouble and will always plan wherever I go and will able areas that seems to be dangerous upon doing my research if I am not familiar to that area.

The fear of rising crime in our society is no joke and can't be ignored.This is why All people should have the rights to own Guns.
One can protect oneself,one's family and not bend down to anybody.
Possession of firearms often reduces home robberies and assaultive crimes like rape both by family members and strangers.
They are excellent tools for protection and self- defense.

This is serious but to be honest I don't think owning a gun is going to reduce the rate of crime in the society rather it will increase the number of death in a day. Haven't you thought of this, someone have a little issue with another and the next thing is getting his or her gun and start shooting because of hate or anger, when authority comes in to ask why, you hear something like is a registered gun and I have my right, this isn't the way to stop crime. I can't say there's a way but the government should be able to provide security for the citizens especially places that are affected by crime, I think that can reduce the rate of crime a bit.

As I was reading this post, I was just contemplating on so many scenario of how the society would look like if everyone is in possession of firearm, it would be actually crazy no doubt, because to me their are so many crazy people out there in the streets which will definitely pull out a gun for any slit provocation against them, and their will be much more insecurities in our society than as it is today, Because people will start doing things with reckless impunity believing that nobody can stop them since they have power (gun) to counter anyone that tries to stop them, so I don't think it's a good idea for everyone to be in possession of firearms.
Lastly, why I really think it's a very wrong move if the citizens of a state Is being armed is that, their are so many mentally challenged people out there in the streets and the ones in our homes, have you ever ask yourself what kind of havock they might cause if any firearms get into their possession? So it's best thing stay as it is, what the government should do instead is to beef up more security, and the police should be more fast in response to any security issues.
Completely disagree as we have already seen so much of gun related crimes and shooting in schools and some so called mentally unstable person going on rampage and killing spree. I think no one should have access to gun accept the relevant security services and authorities and rather we should ensure we have more trained personnel to tackle the crime and there should be enough security and safety to curb on the crimes and send the criminals behind the bar which would reduce the incidents and there is absolutely no need of guns for ordinary person.
Yes it is completely unacceptable idea, many challenges relating the little license given to those in possession and few nation that tried it has course many damages. Allowing everyone to handle gun will be difficult for government to control mostly the third world countries who are struggling with their arm forces, it will be more of jungle as small provocation can leads to shooting your opponent, beside there is not specify training to be given even if, different people with different temperament a person of hot temper can't take things ease with someone with lesser temper, the multiplication of crime will keep coming on hourly basis if such is allowed.
i really don't agree with that. just imagine when everyone has the right to hold a gun, how chaotic society will be. we will see how shootings happen everywhere, maybe it's just because of a trivial matter. especially in countries where the majority of people are uneducated, it would be very risky to entrust people to hold weapons just because they want to protect themselves.
i agree that people are not allowed to hold weapons at all, but people are allowed to kill people who threaten their lives. there are many tools that can be used as a form of self-defense and i feel that they are much better than weapons.

I can not agree to everybody owning a gun in any society, because people have different temperaments, someone who has anger issues can get mad at another person and decide to shoot the person because he has a gun, infact death rate will increase over time. What if the governments approves carrying pistols and shotguns by civilians, and armed robbers are carrying AK-47 riffles, which is more deadlier? I think that we'll be seeing more dead bodies everyday, because crime rates, manslaughter and murder will increase, so let's be careful what we wish for, guns are not supposed to be in the hands of everybody, only trained personnel and people who are authorized should carry guns.
Those people who you mention, who would lose their cool and shoot at others because frivolous things are one of the main reasons the selling and commerce of guns of any kind is supposed to be accompanied with psychological tests and also background checks on the possible purchasers.
This actually reminds me some news I saw from the United States, it was about some guy (who worked as a gun instructor) and he was driving on the highway, when he suddenly experimented road rage because some other driver passed by him on an improper manner. What was his reaction? He pulled out his handgun and emptied his magazine through his own windshield.
There is crazy and mentally ill people in all countries of the world, but not all of them have access to tools which were done specifically to kill others.
I would have not many problems with more access to guns, as long as it is regularized and people get evaluated before handing over anyone a Glock or a Beretta.

You're right to say. Criminalities, oppressions and other illegal indulgences has been so terrible and going on concurrently.
Having the issued of guns access to everyone would not bring an end to this mayhems instead it'd even spread a wider range where more people would embrace all those uncalledful activities.
The best way to do away with this is the government to stay and play active role of security measures and influence the societies with penalty pronounce that any apprehended victim would have the wrath of their deeds. So if the government can take those drastic actions out in cordial places without being biased and no tempering justice with mercies with such people who engages in those activities, there'd be limitations of the discomforts being encountered in the societies.
Op be aware that gun has an evil influence which only matured minds that can tolerate certain nonsense are only fit to handle it. And if the government can grant such access to handling of guns as you make say, that would turn the world out to jungle where sporadically humans would be hunted like the hunters and the animals in the jungle.
I am personally divided on this matter about the ownership of guns by people and the impact it could have on crime and the personal security of people. On one hand, I don't like how the free ownership of guns could make even easier for people with mental problems to go postal and kill anyone in their path, as we have already see it happening in the United States, where it is a sad reality people choose to murder students in their same classrooms where they are supposed to be save and learning.
On the other hand, me being a citizen from a country where the government is very authoritarian and corrupt, I believe the situation would not be so bad here if the government was more afraid of the people they are supposed to serve, one way to reach that would be by giving people weapons and rightful ownership over those weapons and the right to defend themselves from others who mean them harm.
Having weapons can come with advantages and disadvantages, in the end, it is supposed to be a personal choice. What is not a personal choice is whether someone shoots you or not...

Completely agree. The 2nd Amendment wasn't meant to protect from crooks on the streets. It was meant to protect from government officials who were crooks, among other things. However...
The 2nd Amendment doesn't really have much to do with it. If you own guns, they are your private property. Private property rights are the important thing. If you own a gun that is outlawed by government, what is it? Government says it is a gun. But they are wrong... except if you agree with them, that is. Why are they wrong? Because they don't own your private property. Your property is what you call it, namely "private property."
If it's your property, you call it whatever you want. You can do this because it's your property. So, if you own a Howitzer in your back yard, it isn't a Howitzer. It's your private property. Government has to prove ownership or legal control in some way before they can rebrand your property as a Howitzer. But if you don't stand up to government like this, you might lose your private property, and then your freedom.
