Gun Control

Why do we favor war on the Mexican border over gun control and urban planning?

Why is there no plan for
prosperity in that region? Like gun control, legalization of drugs
and wise urban planning might bring? Why do you favor war instead?

Perhaps you should read the Second Amendment some time.

Gun Control (Hardcover) $76.7 Almost since the introduction of the Bill of Rights has the true intention of the Second Amendment guaranteeing the right to bear arms been questioned and scrutinized. Is gun ownership a fundamental right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, or is it a misunderstood historical artifact that opens the door to danger and violence? Some contend that guns should be loosely regulated, while others call for stricter laws and, sometimes, outright bans. But does gun control really work, and who is responsible for gun violence? Plus, with new technological advances in weaponry, what does the future hold for the gun control debate? This newly revised edition of Gun Control explores these and many other questions pertaining to this highly controversial topic.

Myth: Gun Control Reduces Crime



Do you believe in strict gun control laws?

I am against strict gun control laws because they make it harder for law-abiding citizens to access guns. Criminals do not follow the law, so they would have the advantage. I do admit there should be a ban on assault weapons. Citizens should have the right to protect themselves. Do you agree or not?

I agree with you. Here are some facts to help make the case:

20% of U.S. Violent Crime occurs in 4 cities: New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., & Detroit. These cities have near prohibition laws regarding handgun ownership.

1976- Washington, D.C. enacted one of the most restrictive gun control laws in the nation. Effect: Murder has risen 134%while the national murder rate has dropped 2%
.
New York City - Up 15% between 1998 and 1999. The SAME timeframe that new handgun restrictions came into effect.

In 1986, Florida Adopted the Right-To-Carry law, allowing citizens to carry firearms. The results from 1987-1996:

Homicide Rate: DECREASED 36%
Homicide by Firearm: DECREASED 37%
Homicide by Handgun: DECREASED 41%

93% of Police officers believe law-abiding citizens should be able to purchase a firearm for self-defense or sport.

Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals over 2.4 million times every year -- or 6,575 times a day. This means that each year, firearms are used 60 times MORE OFTEN to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. - National Safety Council

According to the CDC, the total number of gun deaths by homicide, suicide and accidents in 2004 was around 29,000. Now, keep in mind that the gun was only the means of violence. In 2004 there were only 1,100 accidental deaths from guns in the US, meaning that if guns were not a factor, there would still be arond 27,000 violence-related deaths and suicides which occured by using other means.

Virginia Tech is a prime example of how gun laws fail. The university strictly enforced a no weapon policy on its premeses. Consequently, the honest students were not armed, even if they were licensed, it still was not permited. One criminal broke the rules with a gun he bought illegally and slaughtered 32 students. Had any one of those students or witnesses been armed, they would have been able to neutralize the threat and saved at least some lives.

No one was ever killed by a gun. A gun is a tool utilized by a person who can think and make decisions. It is an inanimate object, like a car, a knife, or an axe, which all are also used as a means commit crime.

Logically, you would have to outlaw cars before you can outlaw guns, because they are responsible for way many more deaths than a gun.

I mean, the government has an obligation to protect citizens from criminals, but how good of a job do they actually do? I agree with background checks, but most of the other laws that are on the books do nothing to stop crime.

Example: The assult weapon ban of 1994. Made guns illegal that held more than so many rounds, made collapsable stocks illegal, made bayonet lugs illegal... Tell me how any of those stipulations prevented crime. Even with the law, those items could still be bought from private people and on the black market. All it did was prevented an honest person from buying such guns - like my AR-15 has all of those feature, but it is no more prone to cause crime than a hunting rifle that was never illegal.

Now, lets look at this logically NOT IDEALISTICALLY. If more people began concealing and carrying weapons legally (in most states you have to apply for a license and take a class) do you honestly think a criminal would feel as free to commit a violent crime knowing that there is a good chance that his victim has the means to protect themselves? Yes, crime would still occur, BUT it has been proven in states such as Florida, Texas, and West Virginia that the greater the percentage of people who have concealled weapons permits is complemented by a lower percentage of vilent crime.

If a man were to break into your home in the middle of the night, and you did not know if he was armed or not, would you rather have a cell phone, a baseball bat, or a gun?

Japan: Guns have been completely banned for many year. Last year, the mayor of Nagasaki was shot by a gang member. The honest people gave their guns up, but the gangs still have them.
