Topic: Guns - Why do we need them? (Read 1694 times)
You missed the guns for the little ones:
Although this topic is already old, I just want to drop some opinions about why we need to own a gun. As we know, there are only two kinds of people who live on this planet. The good and the bad. many people wanted to live with peace in their life, to have a peaceful mind is one of the treasures that can't be bought with money. we don't want to have people who are angry with us, so we don't start a war with them or to make them angry. we do a lot of things to stay away from those things. however, there are some circumstances where they are the ones who wants to harm us even though we didn't do anything to them. this is when we need some tools to protect ourselves from this scenario, we don't want them to take our lives for granted. we need to own some necessary tools to protect our lives and love one. We need to have some necessary weapon to do that and the most popular tools are guns.
We are living the most peaceful times in human history, yet there are people killed by the dozens every day. Guns and weapons are meant to "protect" but are used as means to "eradicate". Why do we need guns? What do you think?
Looking at it you have to know that Guns is not meant for civilians to be use, is for military purpose especially for security measure only,but because of the level of corruption and needs, wants and power politicians wants to occupy a political positions they have to released guns to untrained people to use,which is causing different mess in societies today.
People are killed today because of misused of Guns,which is improper to government and also caused by the government. The only way level of killing will eradicate is to stop civilians not to have access to use gun.
I feel like guns are important as a self-defense tool, but it can definitely be used as a way to harm others as well. Gun regulation by the govt is the only way to eradicate (or at least minimalize) the gun violence rate
But when as in the USA, cities vote to defund the police, more and more people will get guns. Because it totally makes sense.
The pandemic and George Floyd protests caused record rates of background checks because of how many Americans are rushing to buy guns - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/31/americans-guns-coronavirus-protests
Usually when it's election time or after there's a mass shooting, gun sales go up, but we haven't seen anything like this. In the midst of so much violence, the calls to defund police is moronic.
I think people calling for defunding the police is another reason people are buying guns too, don't get me wrong. If police aren't there to protect you, you only have yourself.
Even without calls to defund the police, everyone should arm themselves for protection.

Living in a country where guns are not allowed it's hard to imagine otherwise, the knife takes usuallly over the role of the gun. But for people who own a gun, it's very important to do so. Having a nation as a hole like USA with very low gun control laws to change these laws seems very difficult. I don't think it's possible to ask people to give up their guns by themself. Such changes would have to be done by the government. But who would elect such a government in the first place? In my opinion it needs more education about guns and the proper usage and of course more security in storing them so kids can't get their hands on them.
You had better hope that gun control in the USA never becomes active. Why? Because it is the only reason your country has a semblance of freedom.
If gun control took over in the USA, and nobody had guns there anymore, the USA, your country, and all the rest would become total slaves to their governments.

I don't believe that we are living in the most peaceful times. It's just that war is now completely different. Climate change, bio-weapons, and cyber attacks are the new methods. Any actual fighting will be done by drones and bots.
Why do we need guns? Because Covid-19 isn't killing anybody, so the elite need to use other tools to reduce the population.

Here's why all average folks need guns. And it isn't so that we can fight some cops who come to the door. Rather, it's so that we can unite in strength when we recall our elected oaf-ficials for their stupidity.
Did the kid have problems with the way he waved the toy gun? It might have been a distraction in virtual school class. Had this happened before? Had the kid been told to not show the toy gun in virtual class? There might have been dozens of reasons for a strong reprimand. But...
Cops coming to the kid's house and threatening arrest? It should really be the other way around. The school - and maybe the school board - should be arrested for not having a required gun class. If they had such a class, toy guns wouldn't be an issue for anybody. Rather, they would be a way to strengthen the Second Amendment and the Constitution for the USA... and thereby strengthening the whole nation.

Boy, 12, is suspended and Colorado police visit his home after waving a bright green toy gun during a virtual class
A 12-year-old Colorado boy was suspended and the police were called to his home after he waved a toy gun during a virtual class.
Seventh grader Isaiah Elliott, who is a student at Grand Mountain School in Colorado Springs, was attending his virtual art class on August 27, when he briefly held the toy gun in his hand.
His mother, Dani Elliott, told BuzzFeed News that her son had picked up the neon green toy gun and moved it from one side of his computer screen to the other.
It wasn't until after the class that Dani received an email from her son's art teacher.
Dani told BuzzFeed that the teacher said Isaiah had been 'extremely distracted' and that there had been 'a very serious issue with waving around a toy gun'.
The teacher informed Dani that she had reported the incident to the school's vice principal Keri Lindaman.
Lindaman then called Dani to inform her that school resource officers from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office would be visiting her home to conduct a health and wellness check.
A short time later, deputies from the sheriff's office arrived to their home.
During their visit, Isaiah's father, Curtis Elliott, said that their son 'was in tears when the cops came'.
'He was scared. We all were scared. I literally was scared for his life,' Curtis told KDVR.
Police said in a report that they advised Isaiah that if his behavior continued, he could 'potentially face criminal charges for interference with staff, faculty, or students of educational institutions'.

I feel we need them just to fight against bad deeds, because in my country when we see a police man holding a gun no matter how stubborn or how tough you may be you would surely be calm so that fear of guns it self goes a long way its, just that it's been used wrongly these days but still let's not forget we still need them to fight crimes because we can't stop having crime activities, we are humans
We don't need guns. Why not? Because they are hooked to freedom. And look at what Bill Gates says about freedom.

As COVID-1984 Accelerates, Bill Gates Blames "Freedom" For Spread of the Virus
Aside from the high 'risk money' the US ponied up for vaccine research and development, he think the U.S. is doing a poor job overall.
Gates proceeded to directly blame the poor response on lack of preparation, but also freedom. Yes, Bill Gates blamed our freedoms for the spread of the virus.
Bill Gates then went on to praise China's authoritarian response and said, despite the fact that people's rights were violated, China's response was really amazing!

[...] Right now, the majority of the people who have guns are meant to kill each other. The world is changing but the humans doesn't, the history will repeat itself and for sure there will be another war that will happen because of the guns and ammos.
Yes, I agree with you! from what I see, The guns can change the person who holds it, most of the holders become pretentious and as if he can threaten and make others afraid of him.
It might sound naive, but, I think civilians should not need and are not allowed to have guns.
I have never, once seen that happen.
It takes more than just a gun. It takes bullets.

Tell that to Adam and Eve, and they didn't even have guns.

I never had a gun, but I wouldn't mind having it in my car!

That's right. Calm the aggressor. Seriously, be ready to use it, not just to threaten with it. And train your kids well.... not like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyxEtK76dqY.

Over time, technology has become more sophisticated and human thought has advanced. Ancient war without enemy weapons is certainly easy to defeat more quickly, therefore weapons are made to protect and continue to be developed if one day will face war again. many countries try to make weapons from their own products. This is intended to anticipate war and can even be used for business purposes so that it can be tradedJump to:
