Why guns should not be banned?

Answer 1

Jefferson said a revolution every 20 years is healthy to prevent the government from overpowering those they govern. Firearms used to yield Americans that capacity until super weapons like a neutron bomb, lasers, air power and those mounted on the crafts like rockets, miniguns, infrared vision, control of communications, water supply, energy to move vehicles and produce heat and light and other main needs. America can't revolt against itself without immense suicide and can't win due to total control of core needs by it's leadership.

Answer 2

Your question is seeking an opinion. In MY opinion, banning guns only affects persons that comply with laws. Criminals, by definition, do not obey laws- including laws that ban guns. This has the final effect of disarming people that DO obey the law, leaving them unable to defend themselves from people that DO NOT obey the law.

Answer 3

Every American has the right to protect themselves.

Answer 4

In the USA around 10 thousand people are murdered every year with guns, but in the USA there are 2million defencive uses of guns every year. Guns save far more lives then they take. When the first multi shot revolvers came out it made everyone equal, the first revolver was made by the Colt company, and people descibed the gun as the great equalizer and would say "God Created Men and Sam Colt Made Them Equal". This is due to the fact that no matter how big or strong someone is the multi shot revolver could make a weak small women stronger then a large violent man so everyone is equal, and guns to this day allow people to be equal and stop crimes and violence. If people do not have guns then they will have some other tools to commit harm except there will be less people to stop the crimes. People can still use knives and bats to harm people but without guns for good people there will be more crimes harming the weak. Guns allow the weak to stand up for themselves and it makes the criminals fear oppressing the weak. The strong good people are not effected they will usually be ok either way because the criminals would mutch rather victimise the weak especially when they know that there unarmed. Also using america as an example, it can not ban guns, the Constitution forbids it, but it has been ruled that people can restrict the right to gun ownership even though many argue that it is also unconstitutional. For gun bans in a specific targeted act towards one type of gun, the AR-15 or any other rifle actually kills a miniscule ammount of people yearly, in the hundreds, while hand guns kill around 2/3 of all gun homocide victoms. Though there is no reason to ban these guns, some people use them for bad but they make so mutch good happen and they stop far more crime then they cause. If guns were banned it would only harm the weakest in society, women and minorities and children who would have less people able to defend them and people who are small and weak. If guns are banned that would open the door for any type of tyranny and it would allow for criminals to not care about the ban and just keep there guns or make more and then victimise the weak. There is no reason to ban guns or even make them hard to get, the laws now in america are more then acceptable and even over zelous in some areas. More armed people can defend themselves and there area better. There would be no mass shootings or crime if the criminal knew that everyone around them possable could be armed.
