Replies USCGstud Posted at 9:38 pm on Jan. 14, 2008 NRA will not allow since we vote for guns .... it's part of our Artil. 2 ... it was written and we will fight for it. Kayling Posted at 9:33 pm on Jan. 14, 2008 I think we should allow hunting rifles and things like that but there is absolutely no reason for a civilian to have an assault rifle (and little reason for them to have a handgun). What is an ASSAULT rifle used for? Gee I wonder... how about ASSAULT!? Everyone should have to have a permit for whatever guns they own as well; only police and military personnel should be able to handle assault rifles. There's very little reason any civilian needs a handgun other than to shoot other people with. unarmed gunman Posted at 1:27 pm on Jan. 10, 2008 BTW, the same can be shown statistically in every area where gun restrictions have been eased. Criminals will always have guns, no matter what the laws are (duh - they're criminals, they don't follow the laws). It's up to you if you want to be able to protect yourself from the criminals that do have guns. unarmed gunman Posted at 1:22 pm on Jan. 10, 2008 All of this comes down to one thing - it has been proven time and time again that the easier they make it for civilians to arm themselves the lower the rate of violent crime goes in that area. Here in the Detroit area they recently (about 5 years ago) lowered the restrictions on the rights of citizens to carry handguns, making it easier to get a CCW. In the last 5 years violent crime has gone down, despite the economic situation getting worse and worse here every year. Normally crime goes up when the economy gets worse. Draw your own conclusions. qwerky Posted at 8:22 pm on Jan. 9, 2008 are guns legel in the us Cabrio Posted at 3:14 pm on Nov. 13, 2007 I'd gladly carry a firearm on my school's campus if given the chance. I know I am responsible, mentally stable, and would put my life before anyone else's in time of need. There should be a restriction on who may have a firearm, and how he or she can obtain it. In many states in the USA, you may buy a firearm and walk away with it the same day. This needs to be changed. drae09 Posted at 11:55 am on Nov. 9, 2007 no restrictions babygirl2010 Posted at 3:43 am on Aug. 17, 2007 No restriction on firearms 00 Posted at 10:54 am on Aug. 15, 2007 Quote: from joe762 at 10:11 pm on April 21, 2007 Adolf Hitler was in favor of gun control also after 6 million poeple ago.   00 Posted at 10:53 am on Aug. 15, 2007 Quote: from thrive in bliss at 9:44 pm on April 21, 2007 Quote: from joe762 at 12:37 am on April 22, 2007 Quote: from thrive in bliss at 9:34 pm on April 21, 2007 Civilians should not have guns.

So, do you see any civilians defending themselves with guns?   1) It wouldn't be as easy for criminals to get guns. 2) It would be easier to crack down criminals, since anyone possessing a gun would be one. 3) Fewer people would have guns and that alone would make me feel a little safer.   Truth be told, anyone who really wants a gun will get one, whether it be legally or illegally. I just don't think civilians need guns. Possession of fire arms can be dangerous even in a "responsible civilian's" hands.     00 Posted at 10:53 am on Aug. 15, 2007 Quote: from joe762 at 9:41 pm on April 21, 2007 COOOOOOOLLLL   00 Posted at 10:51 am on Aug. 15, 2007 Quote: from joe762 at 9:37 pm on April 21, 2007 Quote: from thrive in bliss at 9:34 pm on April 21, 2007 Civilians should not have guns.
