Does anyone support the 2nd Amendment? I sure as hell do.

Ok first of all, I support my founding fathers to allow Americans to possess weapons

I was talking to my teacher about it in class and he told me something which I looked up

He told me that in England, someone went to a grocery store and shot up the place. So England had enough of it and banned all citizens from having weapons period. They had to turn in all their weapons by a certain date (I believe Jan 2000) unless the weapon was fully licensed and stored in a weapons vault or if you were apart of a certain gun club. I think that's ****** up. But anyways it didn't do ****. After the ban of handguns too, the crime level rose 40% why? Its so obvious, since crooks know there aren't any weapons inside a home, they know that they wont get shot at. This is why I disagree with anyone who says that it would be better without weapons. Agree with me or not, but I see no reason why people are bashing the 2nd Amendment. If I am living alone, hell I wouldn't mind having a gun around. If someone broke into my house, fearing for my life and my loveone's lives, I would arm myself and blow his braings out if he got anywhere close to me or my love ones. Wouldn't you??

If you need a gun to feel safe, I suggest you move somewhere civilized. SolidSnake35

So we'd have nuclear weapons, but for ground war, we'd still be using swords...

No, what good is civilized without civilization?

Yeah why not, it would make things interesting.

Nah we'd just shoot each other with hi-tech crossbows. ;)

Isn't this like the third thread of this kind in like 3 days? It seems like every day of this week I see a new variant on the "Do you support the second amendment" thread. And no, I don't support the second amendment.ElectronicMagic

Frankly I can understand why someone would want a single hand gun just in case in some areas based on the crime levels, but when they prop 45 different guns all ranging from handgun to assasult rifles in the bathroom alone, then it just sounds moronic.

Thank god I live in Norway where the only guns around are used for hunting and by the police on very extreme cases.

That instead of starting yet another one, why not search for one already done and post on that one.

My point is why not just keep it in the other thread that's on the front page of OT?

Presumably he wouldn't approve of nuclear weapons or any other modern military technology either.

Probably would have been much easier than spending all that time starting another one. :P Besides there is one of a similar title floating around on page one, anyway.

I've always thought that the question of "do you support the second amendment" is kind of silly, really. Those who support gun control in the US will almost assuredly assert that the second amendment does not guarantee a univeral, unlimited right to bear whatever arms one wants. Thus, the question is essentially meaningless and misleading.GabuEx

True. Imagine what life would be like with no weapons? It's interesting to think about.

criminals would kill people with swords instead...

yet people are responding Ms. birdy...The question makes perfect sense =[Kamekazi_69

I see one single person in this thread who actually responded to the question. :P

the more civilised it is the more of a target it is for professionals, the propper robbers not the chavs that just wonder in if you leave the window open

[QUOTE="Kamekazi_69"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]If you need a gun to feel safe, I suggest you move somewhere civilized. SolidSnake35

So you have a police officer stationed in your house?

[QUOTE="Kamekazi_69"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]If you need a gun to feel safe, I suggest you move somewhere civilized. SolidSnake35

personally i'ld prefer to rely on myself than some outside organisation. The solution to the average person thing is national service i'm pretty sure it would solve alot of problems, i think that's how it works in switzerland, if you finish your national service properly with no hicups you get to keep your gun or atleast your sidearm.

Its not that hard to kick a door down, or break a window.

And I feel civilized in Memphis, but still I have a gun.heyfunboy

Again, you're right. The whole argument that "the average person cannot be trusted with a gun" is ridiculous. Why trust anyone then? And everyone is "average" when it comes down to it, unless you're insane. :lol:

Anyone who puts their faith ENTIRELY into a power to protect them needs to re-align the head that's in their arse.

I agree with restriction, but not overturning the amendment.

One day there'll be a zombie outbreak, I know it.

What about hunting? You need a rifle for that..

Plus, I don't think it's right to tell others how to live their peaceful lives. ;)

I like the word arse.

And just a question, are you Canadian or American?

I saw you say you were American in one thread, but in another I thought you said you were Canadian.

And before someone goes "Canada is part of the Americas", I know that already, I figured you'd be smart enough to know what I'm talking about.

80% of the people in my neighborhood don't set there alarms because they go off in the middle of the night for no reason.

Having a shotgun makes sense as you don't have to aim as much. I wouldn't be surprised if switwrland also had some sort of emergancy law to hand out rifles though, their country is a bit lik a fortress: by law everyhouse has to have a nuclear bunker with 2 months worth of food in it and every adult 18-21 has to do 2 years national service (usually in the military though can be in hospitals ect).

Contrary to what the 1980s movie Red Dawn would have you believe, you can't fight an army with a pistol.Vandalvideo
