If i was an American, there is no way i will carry guns in the street. People are being shot and killed by the very law enforcement agency thats meant to protect them.
This position is a coward. You think that it is possible for every person to demand police orany? It is not possible. The cops will come after you get killed. The only chance to survive is to defend oneself. For this you need weapons. Even if you need your gun once in your life, you should wear it every day.

I wish it was as easy in Europe. Americans are strange. They have so many rights and freedoms, but they never stop complaining that they need more. They can carry guns in the street and have like 100 guns per 100 citizens. In Europe when you have 50/100 it's actually great and the country must have really modern laws for that to be possible. Most Europeans never shot a gun in their lives and have no clue how to use one and protect themselves. Believe it or not but some EU countries have less than 10 guns per 100 citizens!

The gun is easily available in the U.S., because many people know how to make guns. The materials are available. The people want guns. That's why there are many guns in the U.S.  The people want them, and they make them.

Cool
If really so easy to make a weapon for everyone (I disagree) then what is the point to restrict legal weapons? Is it possible to restrict the ability of people to protect their lives from illegal weapons?

Government wants to restrict guns so that they can make slaves of the people. This is not an easy thing to do. In the past, Government did a lot of advertising against guns. Within the last 20 years (and longer) Government actually does the terrorist activities in America, just to scare people into not wanting guns.

It is backfiring on them. People want more and more guns all the time because of the terrorism that Government is doing.

The Liberals are mostly concerned about making money. Look at Obama a Nobel Peace Prize recipient but he dropped as many as Hitler himself all in the name of fighting terrorism.

It's so hard to get gun in other developed countries. People even afraid to carry gun in there. But why government of US makes it easy to buy,carry or sell guns? Is it good for the nation or people living there? They mayn't get freedom while walking in dreary places. Isn't it? I even scared of word gun.  Grin
In my country carrying gun is an offence against the state except government approval forces. Think about what is in mind of those who approved legalized the used of gun in their countries always amazing me. The best society is were there is no crimes, we do not have that society yet, we would have that type of society one day. Gun is not a solution to crime.

All liberals and progressives in favor of gun control should thank Trump.  Since he took office gun sales are way, way down. When the wanna be fascist controller Obama was in power AR15 sales skyrocketed making many rich. Even 22LR bullets went up in price 5x. Now these sit on shelves and nobody cares!

hillary would have kept the boom in gun and bullet sales going!

One thing i have noticed in Human nature is the more you want to restrict them access to something thats when they want to acquire that thing even more. So making it easier for people to buy guns makes sure its not illegally acquired for nefarious purposes.

In order to answer this question, you should understand American history, cučture and tradition.
100-200 years ago America was wildness and everybody had guns in order to protect themselves.
It was way of life, as you can see in American movies.
Even American constitution confirm such right, that all citizens can have guns.
In this way, America is really very unique country.
Of course, because of it, there are a lot criminal and violence in American society.
Because of this people are even more scared and buying more guns and this circle never ends Smiley

Partly I agree with you, If you look at American history, specially after it won its independence from Great Britain, American. They created Bill of Rights and on of them is the right of people to keep and bear arms. But you also have to understand the reason why they put it in place. It was there because the thinking at that time is that everyone can keep and bear arms and can organize together to overthrow any leaders who seems to abuse its power and who often uses that power in cruel and unfair ways.

So if Americans wanted to really restrict gun ownership, it wouldn’t simply have to get Congress to pass a law - it would have to persuade all of the individual states to agree to the change too.Which I think would be very difficult to do now.
I agree with you.
It's very difficult and complex issue.
President Obama tried to change it but couldn't.
To have guns is already way of life for the many people in America, and they feel it's their constitutional right.
Now, with president Trump I don't think that we will see any real changes regarding gun policy.
I hope that at least they will be able to restrict access to guns to young adults, violent or mentally ill people.
It will be progress already if they can achieve it in the near future Smiley

Are you stupid? they already do that. Furthermore it would be very stupid to take the guns from citizens whom legally bought them. This will not only costs america several billions, but will also increase the liquidity of black markets, cartels trading weapons, etcetera.

Its mostly the illegal weapons thats used to cause all the crimes. No one in their right mind would actually purchase a gun legally and use it to commit a crime when they know it can be traced right back at them.

Actually you have a choice between legal and illegal circulation of weapons. Know the law of conservation of energy and Newton? So reducing the number of legal weapons you increase the number of illegal. Do you want it? I believe that it is impossible to limit the circulation of legal weapons. You don't have the statistics of how many people were killed by legal guns and how many people saved his life. Then what are we talking about? Once again you are listening to populists!

The USA have discovered Human Nature, the more you decline to give humans access to something, the more they crave it. By making it so easily accessible for people to get access to weaponry. Less and less people are getting the guns. I am sure this is the same thing that will happen with marijuana. Its so easily obtainable and soon not many people will crave it as they do now.
This is the weakness of human rights. because of personal interest, everyone has rights. and these rights must be respected.
This is one point which could facilitate easier access of US society weaponry, either illegally or legally.

Here I completely agree with you. Historically, it so happened that an American citizen was always armed and had the free right to own weapons. Of course, this is strongly influenced by the mentality, because not every people can cope with this perfectly.

Studies prove, in places where the ownership of guns are highest, crimes are lowest.

I don't think that I could agree with that post. Normally, gun ownership is higher where the crime rates are also high. If the crime rates are low, then there is no need to purchase firearms (that said, in some of the US states such as Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire, the gun ownership is extremely high despite the very low crime rates).

That is quite a speculation on your part, Sithara.

It might be, that prevention (or gun carry in this case) is cultural  Wink in Germany you will get fined for carrying pepper spray, despite ever increasing crime rates, the laws dealing with personal defense did not change at all.
