We don't need more gun control in this country! What we need is for the laws already on the books to be inforced! The criminals have more rights than the victims, and then felonies get pleaded down to slaps on the wrists!

Broken link but let me explain why you are very wrong, eliminating guns completly in america would result in same collapse in society that happened with prohibition. If they were to ban fire arms now we would still have millions still in america legally or illegally owned all its going to do is create more mob criminal profit by selling these weapons ellegally, this will create a mob nation once again also i ask you to repect the amendments this country is built on and if you dont want to move to europe with the rest of the dirty librels.

Just because something bad happened does not mean we should outlaw them. More people die in car wrecks each day than from handguns and rifles but I don't see you asking to ban cars. Keep in mind what happened in England after they banned personal firearms now the only people with the guns are the criminals and those that don't have guns use knives and clubs. Should we eliminate those as well? What we need is tougher punishment of criminals.

Being country born & raised with a gun in my hand I see no reason guns should be taken away.I use one in my profession everyday. I see the city folk have guns & I see they are the ones committing to no-no's with guns. Look around you, you never hear of country john doe holding up a bank or killing his family. Silly world it is! In my eyes, more gun control means using both hands. Wanna see something really cool? Look up the Judge. An excellant all around home protecting devise that wont miss!

I would really like you to explain to me why Washington D.C., which had a gun ban in place for 34 years, was the murder capital of the world in 1998.
It's because only the thugs and criminals had guns. I've been a responsible gun owner for years and have never shot anyone.

The Democrats want to take the guns away from the citizens that legally purchase and register their weapons. Yet any two-bit thug, gangster, and low-life can illegally get one off the streets and commit crimes. And these punks are more likely to commit crimes in these places with restrictions. Why? Because they know, more than likely their victim will not be armed.

A. This link goes nowhere specific to your "question".
B. You did not post a question.
c. It is established FACT that where trained citizens have concealed carry permits, crime goes DOWN.
D. We already have 22,000 gun laws on the books already. CRIMINALS are the problem, not the laws or the guns.

we currently have over 20,000 over-lapping gun laws in our country, yet we have the highest gun murder rate of any industrialised country. furthermore, making guns illegal merely gives criminals the opportunity to be more brazen because they know most citizens arent carrying guns.
look at england, after they banned guns crime went up 300%!!! the answer to gun control is education, not control.

We don't need more gun control, we need more private citizens controlling the guns.
Missed that vid, though. Call me lame with my dial-up service, but I heard YouTube wasn't a great place for news anyway.
