Should guns be banned in the United States?

Guns should not be banned. Regulated perhaps, but not banned.

No.

Banning guns = easy solution

easy solution = Hardcore repercussion

Hardcore repercussion = MAJOR BEEF

Well... places where guns are banned seem to have much much lower homicide rates... so I'm going to go with yes.MythofSisyphus

Actually some places show the exact opposite.

People who use them for crimes would still be able to get them somehow, but people using them for protection wouldntlolfiretruck

Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Scotland, Wales, Luxemburg, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, Singapore

all have banned guns and way lower homicide, only like bangladesh will show the opposite, but the exception proves the rule

Murder Capital-er, I mean Washington, USA.

No. Then we couldn't protect ourselves.Gran_Bruce

Nope. That would defeat my chances looking for a real, working panzerfaust that was used in World War II. It may be in museums, but that will never stop my search!

Banning guns would just be like banning drugs. More people will get them because of the "risk factor".

well since there is no border to stop gun from coming in, and no real inforcement on it, and since that is in the USA, doesnt really count

yes, since the second amendment does not even APPLY to the modern society (there is no militia anymore)hormagaunt

There's still a militia but we just changed its name to the National Gaurd.

No. Criminals could still get them easily and regular citizens then couldn't defend themselves without breaking the law. Also, what about all the game hunters?

My point exactly.

If you feel like violating the Bill of Rights, then SURE why not!

I'm not for banning guns, but I am for regulation and some restrictions.

i think england should ban alcohol, 800 children under the age of eight were admitted to hospital last year for alcohol poisoning >_>sauses3392

same with guns

No, the anti-gun sheeples can take mine from my cold dead hands.

Firearms will be needed when the cops decide to quit their jobs like they did in New Orleans during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. Cops won't likely be there to answer your distress calls for you during a serious riot as well.

Firearms are going to be needed when the Mexicans start a violent separatist movement in the South-Western states in the future too.

NO NO NO NO AND NO! Guns should never be taken away from us! How else would I hunt? How else would I protect our farm from armadillos and other rodents that eat our crops?

Spoken like a true englishman :P

I think they should be regulated a *bit* but not banned.

The US needs to ban guns but I get the impression that most American would rather have sex with their own mothers than give up there right to bare arms.

I hardly ever hear about guns bought and retained legally being used for crime at all.

All the money used for banning perfectly legit guns should be used to enforce laws to keep illegal firearms form entering the country.

Certain guns like high powered rifles, automatic weapons or magnums. Those are unnecessarily powerful for either hunting, or home defence.yoshi-lnex

You can't really hunt a bear with anything other than an extremely powerful firearm.

Woooaaaaah. Hadn't realized the right wing hate had gone this far yet. I mean i was sure that mexicans would be used as a scapegoat used to blame the crumbling economy on... I know that hate crimes against mexicans have gone up... But now this... I'm sure you didn't make that little number up yourself either, im sure theres millions of others just like you. Quite disguesting. Anyone else thinking Jews after WWI?

Yeah but you don't need gun that shoot like 30 bullets a second to take down a bear.
