Everyone should carry a gun ?

Yes, think of all the people we would be helping!

Espescially the suicidally depressed! By golly, they might just pull a gun out on another person to have an assisted suicide or might even take a few people out before pulling the trigger on themselves!

In other words: No.

If everyone carries a gun when they go to work or school, then shootings like the Columbine High and Virginia Tech wouldn't have claimed so many lives of the innocent people. What do you think ? Is it a good idea ? :)Zensword

No. /thread

If we had guns. they'll have Uzi's

If we have Bullet Vest, They'll have anti-vest rounds.

Didn't you learn from Batman? Once batman came to town, the joker did D: it's one of the morals of the movie.

Anything we do they'll be a step over it. As much as I hate to admit it, when you're getting robbed it's best to just let them.

The only thing that needs to happen is to remove that "cruel and unusual punishemnt" amendment. If we could go chop all the criminals balls then there be less crime. You tell the world Smoking will kill sex drive people wont smoke.

Not everyone should carry a gun. I think that mentally competent adults should be permitted to own, possess and carry them, but that is a different statement altogether.

That would be pretty cool. What type of guns though? Automatic? Pistol? Sniper? Light Machine gun? Sub Machine gun? Shotguns? If it was a choice I would always carry a M4 Carbine assault rifle with ACOG scope attached and and sawed off shotgun with Slight of hand. :P

You mean like the good old Wild West, pilgrim? Somehow I don't think arming a bunch of high school kids would have stopped Columbine. Wouldn't proper psychological counselling have stopped those shootings?

we all have a right to bare arms.

i support gun ownership nd i think everyone that isnt mental or felons are allwoed to cary any guns in the civilian market and to provate citizens can have their military guns but to keep them at bay and only for hunting or selfdefence purposes only.

I believe everyone that is mentally and emotionally stable should carry a gun

In a lot of peoples opinion no one mentally and emotionally stable would want to carry a gun.

I can't carry one now on account of where I live but when I go back home I definitely will.

I think if you can't fight very well you should carry something.

So police officers are mentally and emotionally unstable

Good to know

I'm sure deaths by guns would go up 2,000,000%, so that sounds like a horrible idea.

Many police forces don't carry guns.

Just so you know.

Yeah, but then you have the problem of escalation.Overlord93

Only because there are to few people willing to step up.

People who take the time to become properly licensed should carry a firearm, if they like. Everyone should not, much in the same fashion as everyone does not drive an automobile.

Palantas

Oh yes, and even those who DO drive autos can reach a point in life, or just age where they shouldn't be driving. Note how difficult it is when that happens, once they HAVE the car and the right, to deny them either. I imagine the same is true of guns, so definitely not an "everyone" thing.

You have to be pretty paranoid to carry a gun with you wherever you go...Apocalypse97

I suspect troll topic. People are impulsive by nature. Not every person should have a gun.

I've never understood the American preoccupation with firearms.

I think its something to do with the wild west, and rustlers.

No, that is a horrible idea.

Every who hasn't committed a felony or has a mental illness, and who has taken classes, yes. Criminals don't fear the unarmed citizen.

How about grenades? I think everyone should carry grenades... Also it should be required to throw at least one grenade a day, just to keep everyone aware of danger.

I should be able to have a gun. No one else though. ;p

I carry three. 8)

My solution: Keep guns at a gun-range ALL the time. There is no way to justify having a full-automatic rifle for "home defence".squackthehag

I agree with no guns at schools or for children.

Most kids are just stupid.

We appreciate the ability to defend ourselves, others, and our property.

If threatened by a 200 pound thug I enjoy the ability to not be at their mercy.

Pretending criminals don't exist or will respect the law is lunacy

Believing calling 911 or ADTs home alarm sound will protect you from someone meaning you harm is plain idiocy

That depends entirely where you live.. The US isn't a third world country.. People seem not to understand that threats like terrorism, criminals etc etc have a far less chance of hurting you then a car accident on the way to work.. And even those high crime rate areas, the people who usually live there can't afford a gun to begin with. This isn't suggesting we ban guns, but this "what if" scenerio rarely happens statistically for any one.
