Guns are designed for one purpose in mind: to kill people.

Yes, people can kill in other ways from other products, but usually, their purpose/science isn't to kill as many ppl as possible as with guns.

Why not? Please don't say because the Constitution says we have a right to bear arms, but is silent on cocaine; our rights predate the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was not supposed to limit our rights to those enumerated (see the Ninth Amendment).

not true,

Guns can also be used for marksmanship.


And, as people were asking earlier, same sex marriage and drugs and stuff: IT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY GUNS.

For those in this discussion who aren't americans: keep your nose out of our business. THe last thing we need is you fag europeans telling us what we can and can't do.


For those americans comparing numbers with europe: why the hell would you want to listen to europeans. I am not sure if you noticed, but most guns used to kill people are bought ILLEGALLY anyway. I would rather have a legal gun there to protect myself.

Do you think the ONLY rights Americans have are the ones SPECIFICALLY listed in the Constitution?

Not much of an answer, but you don't seem very bright.

BTW, I'm against gun control laws in general, but unlike the right wingers who have posted in this thread I have a consistent political philosophy.

Call it "lefty libertarianism"; a belief in a limited government primarily created to protect fundamental individual rights. Got it from the Framers. However, I don't mind the government protecting people from the vagaries of the economic system which is primarily a state contrivance, so the strict libertarians aren't for me.

Do Americans know that the rest of the planet are pissing themselves laughing at their "right to carry guns"?

Nothing will take away the fact that giving humans the "right" to carry leathal weapons is idiotic. No one would disagree with banning the carrying of machetes (sheathed or not), but knives are less dangerous than loaded guns, for obvious reasons. The whole issue is moronic.

No1, Im all for freedom, you say I cant be for freedom if I say we should have the rights to bear arms, but not If gays are allowed to get married

you totaly missed what Im getting at, Im for freedom of people to bear arms, Im for freedom of people who wish to be gay, Im for freedom of people who wish to buy drugs

Im againts licence of gay people,. (for reasons already said), Im againts licence of people who wish to marry a gun, and Im againts misuse of drugs

so I call my stand "freedom". Unlike you, at least its consistent.

You must not know anyything about Guns if you say that the only purpose is to kill people, have you ever shot a gun? Guns are made for markmenship, (Except military guns which are illegal to own anyway without a permit)

If you are againts gun control laws, then that gotta be the first thing we ever agreed on,
What I dont understand is why your debating on the other side then? is it because you dont want to disagree with your liberal friends?
