Here in the UK there are laws restricting guns from being bought. Unless you have a license, you can’t legally own a gun. This means that gun violence rates in the UK are much lower than the US.

I think that guns in the US should be made illegal. Lots of people say, ‘How will we defend ourselves if they take away our guns?’ and the answer is simple - if you take away all the guns, there’s no need to defend yourself because all the other people don’t have any guns either.

What do you think? Tell me in the answers section and we can debate :)

1. Guns cannot legally be taken away, Second Amendment.

2. Humans are too greedy and hateful, world peace ain't gonna happen while humans are still here. Trust me.

3. Do you think that murderers and criminals won't just use the black market or other underground ways of obtaining guns in order to continue doing what they're already doing? And your average citizen will be defenseless against the murderer in his/her home.

Exactly what Luna said

Well they can just arrest all the current murderers
by (165k points)
Elo, there are thousands of murder cases that have stumped the police for years. They are called cold cases, where the police gave up and the murderers are still out there. They can't just catch them, they don't know who they are or do but don't have proof. There are thousands of uncaught murders- and far worse people- that still rome around and have never and probably will never be caught.

Well they can build a robot that tracks criminals and arrest them
by (165k points)
Elo... I'm gonna guess that you are extremely sheltered. If there were technology capable of tracking and arresting criminals, then it would have already been made. There is no way of coding any type of machine to track bad people and arrest them, if there was, police would not exist, heck, the government might not exist. There is no way to catch every single criminal in the world or even just the US. Besides that, things aren't always black and white. If there were technology capable, then who's to say that it would get it right in every circumstance? There are murderers who are only that because of self-defense. In court, if you testify self-defense and have evidence that it was, then it doesn't count as manslaughter. Besides, how would it tell that they were a criminal? Detectives have to use unreplicable brainpower just to figure out how a crime happened, who did it, and what evidence they have. There isn't a machine that can just scan you and say "Yup, you killed someone" because it's impossible to look at someone and be able to tell. Even lie detectors are faulty because some people are nervous just taking a lie detector test and some liars know how to lie right through the test without hesitation or an unsteady heartbeat.

Elo is like 9 years old. Argue with someone your age, it's not fair to her.

Luna I politely disagree when you said 'if there was tracking technology it would have already been made' there is technology being made. I mean how long did it take for people to invent cars or television?? Just saying we don't know what technology will be around by the time were grandparents or even parents

No. We need guns for self-defence. For example lets say someone broke in your house, you would need something for self-defece

If people have a record of misusing firearms, they should be banned for those people. They shouldn't be banned entirely, we just need stricter gun control.
by
I agree with that
by (165k points)
Politely, I disagree. People make mistakes. If someone in their teens or early twenties misfired or got aggravated and therefore had a record of misusing firearms, but they've changed majorly and years later they feel threatened and want to buy a gun for protection, then that would be unfair. I think that their gun license should be taken temporarily and they should have to get a new one to purchase a gun.

 

Also, it's in the Bill of Rights, you cannot be prohibited from getting/using a firearm without a dang good reason, and history is not one of them unless you shot someone and are still in jail.

Yes, they should be banned, but only for random civilians. I also think that if you do have a gun, you should have a permit and a locked case so children couldn't reach them.

Guns are very important for others safety. In the US, you have to have a permit to purchase a gun. I absolutely don't think guns should be banned. I know that alot of deaths are happening because of guns and it's one of the leading ways of suicide but again, it shouldn't be banned.

In the 2nd amendment, we have heard. 'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' This means to allow guns only for the Armed Forces. 

by (165k points)

Anonymous user, you have no idea what a militia is, do you? A militia is a group of non-professional soldiers/citizens who perform military-like services when needed. In other words, militias are formed from ordinary people. Militias are NOT military/armed forces, they are typically used for citizen's protection against a corrupt government. America was formed from a bunch of militias because they found Britain to be too corrupt and rebelled. Firearms must be available to the citizens of America, in any state. It's like this because America was founded upon the people, the people have total control in choosing government and if they choose to have war and choose a new government, the government cannot prohibit the people's right to bear arms. If people rebelled, they'd need all firearms possible, the military is on the government's side. That's why the second amendment means that any member of America is allowed to own a gun, for their own protection. That right cannot be taken away or infringed. That's what that right means.

They should have a license, which has already taken place, for you to own them, but not ban them.
