are like a gazillion gun nuts out there I will make a quick FAQ here, so I don't have to keep posting.
Gun nut FAQ:
1. It's my constitutional right to bears arms.
This is true. But it's also true that the constitution is a living document and can be amended. For instance slavery
was abolished by an amendment to the constitution.
2. If people can't bear arms then only the criminals will have firearms.
There are roughly 300 or so cases each year in the united states of self defense resulting in death that are ruled
"justifiable". The chances of you owning a gun and using that gun in self defense and it being ruled "justified" is
almost none.
3. If I don't have a gun then someone can break into my house and I can't defend myself.
Generally speaking people don't break into your house when your home. Contrary to popular belief occupied home
invasions are extremely rare. Since people break into your house when your not home that nice new shiny hand cannon
you bought is stolen and is now used to further crime not prevent it.
4. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
No actually guns kill people.
5. If citizens are not armed then the government can take over!
Lets see, Tanks, Air Force, Professional Army, Cruise Missles, Predator Drones, etc etc versus Small Arms.
Your proposal is unConstitutional as it stands and repealing or amending the Constitution to fit your proposal would require at the very least a 2/3's approval by the States, not Congress, in order to go forward. Some studies suggest there are between 700,000 and 2 million defensive gun uses every year, but I have found that such statistics on both sides are often skewed and hardly trust worthy. The fact of the matter is that there are approximately 30,000 gun deaths every year with over half of those being suicides. The resulting numbers are less deaths than those caused by automobile accidents.
Furthermore, while the US military has many technologically advanced bits of hardware, a ground force using small arms and improvised explosives has proved quite successful at fighting them for the last ten years in Afghanistan.
In other words, your post is ridiculous, unlawful and downright ********. |
