Atleast the gun can't be given to all people in our community. I can trust the private contractor with their guns keep our neighborhood, because they have known rules to using it

 THE GOVERNMENTS COMING TO GET YOUR GUNS

The church would know all about being hypocrites. One of the biggest ones themselves.

Pope Francis Questions Whether Weapons Manufacturers Can Call Themselves Christian



TURIN, Italy, June 21 (Reuters) – People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.

Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.

“If you trust only men you have lost,” he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.

You bring up a good point about statistics for self defense, when guns are used to prevent crime. There are not reliable numbers for the amount of times guns PREVENTED a crime by being drawn to scare off, stop, or detain criminals. Most of the time one need not even pull the trigger to prevent crime, violence, or murder. Of course the media never talks about this when it happens because it goes counter to the fear and sensationalism they want to sell you. Think about it for a second, who reports to the police that some one TRIED to mug them but instead ended up running away pissing themselves?

We should buy the services of a private contractor with guns to keep our living no/low crime rate area safe for our gated community. We can afford it. Tough luck for the others, beyond our gates...

 

Okay I need to put a bulletproof on my body, so if someday gun will be legalized then I can prepare my self to face all of my enemies with gun on their hands. Btw like I said before, we don't need the gun if we are living in no/low crimes area.

All the guns replaced with force shields  

I think too many people are getting killed with guns. I think we should not sell guns to just anyone. They should be a cop, someone in the military, or something. Well I think just this.

And the real sentence can vary. For example, in Norway, somoene who is sentenced to 25 years will be out in 10 years (Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people is due to be released in 2021, after serving 10 years in jail) . In South Africa, he will be free in less than 4 years (as there is a one-sixth law, meaning that the convict has to spend just 1/6th of the time behind bars).

There was a point in our American History where the government tried to repress dissidents in its population.  They did this through search and seizure without due process, and wanton murder of its citizens.  Those citizens eventually overthrew the tyranny of that government.  If those citizens had been refused the right to bear arms they would have been massacred and we would have a picture of the queen in every bar.

So in answer to your question... we keep the right to bear arms because we remember far too well what it is like to live under a government that may turn on its citizens.

Today our arms are less in the form of flint and powder and more in the terms of primes and curves.  In the end it is all the same.  A government may claim it is abolishing guns to save the innocent, but the symbolism of that in our history runs far far deeper than that.  On the same note a government may repress a citizens rights to cryptography because enemies use secrets, and secrets are bad, but at the same time preventing secrecy only serves to make that government more powerful.

So, in a civilized society do we need guns... No.

In a civilized society do we need secrets... No.

Sad part is... our society is not civilized, and often some of the least civilized are in positions of power.

So you can take my guns... but if that right is ceded, it is only a matter of time before you take my crypto-kit too.

The truly sad part is... I thought, more than twice, of the wisdom of publicly publishing these views knowing all too well, that in the country in which I live, they can very well be used against me.

What a pathetic argument. There is no need to protect your family members from rape by armed invaders, as there is a high chance that the perpetrators will be caught using the DNA evidence. Well.. you try this approach. Don't keep a gun at your home, and let the criminals rape your wife. I am not taking any chances. I'll always keep a gun with me.

point 1 most people rob your money very rare someone rape your wife you would be caught in a flash DNA
point 2 if he did rape my wife she would shag him to death thus saving the both of us
see because you have a gun more likley be a shoot out resulting in a death instead just handing over your money then phone police
see no one deserves to die for stealing or house robbery even tho i really hate house thieves ..hmmm may be cut 2 fingers off as a punishment or chop half a foot off there foot i am only joking
The law lords need to sit down and say right its the 21st century lets see how we can make these new laws better to keep our citizens safer
plus most of all we need to give our young kids jobs so they have a life instead stuck on the streets to become a street rat

Criminal:  (Breaks through your front door).  Alright motherf*cker, here's the deal.  I'm taking your money, I'm raping your wife, and I'm blowing your heads off.

You:  Wait wait wait.  Time-out.  I'm calling the police.  You're in big trouble, mister.

Criminal:  *Blows your head off.*

Gee, your plan sounded so great on paper.

Every one has the right to own a gun to protect themself.
                                                                                 

same as every other country with gun laws phone the police
and if my law was in place he or she will be getting 25 years if caught and will do every day of them 25 years and that will send a clear message out carry guns get 25 years
see what is happening in my area 13 year old kids getting hold of guns well i say guns some look like they found them in the grandad shed from the 2nd worldwar.. and old shot guns that look like the shot guns have wood worm   there that old
So thank god they cannot get hold of nice new guns and buy them like lolly pops because our kids would shoot each other like no tomorrow
we have about 10 shooting a month in our city
 but i say about 3 to 4 people get killed with a gun a year some years 1 person gets killed and about 25 people get injured because they shoot your legs so if there caught they get done for a lesser crime not murder
but the thing is these young kids 13 to 25 get no real jail time
if a 13 old murders he still got his whole life ahead of him 15 years he only be 28 when he get out of jail.. if he caught with a gun in public he get 2 years in youth offenders now you give this kid a status i am a bad ass so don,t mess with me or i shoot you no matter who you are a 15 year old cheeky little brat
and guns are banned  here So more jail time needed plus if he or she murders a human with a gun then they will never be released from jail not ever

Take the United States for example. Nine out of the 10 states having the lowest crime rates there, are states which allow the "right to carry". And it is estimated that, in the US itself, guns are used for self-defense more than 2 million times a year. Now compare this to the number of violent crimes, which is being reported at around 400,000 per year.

So if guns are banned, and you're a law abiding citizen and therefore don't break the a law and get one, what are you going to do if a criminal with a gun attacks you?
