Gun laws are hypocritical, and outragous.
BrokenWings wrote:Ok, what does that have anything to do with gun laws? Your example of said "Tommy" can get guns irregardless of laws, so is that a problem with regulations or US mentality?
This ammendment, that grants people the right for individuals to bear arms, is not there so that people can defend themselves against criminals, though it's a legitimate use of force.

Most definitely there is a gun problem in the USA, because there are too many people in the country getting to guns and using them whenever they feel like it which is where the gun laws come in. In the US, 20,000 are killed by guns each year and one main reason that gun laws should be changed is because children always look at guns as toys and they can end up killing themselves or even their parents, relatives etc.

you said it yourself , guns aren't the problem , people are , and parents should educate their kids about guns . its not about guns its about the people in the world and how the media image corrupts peoples minds . guns are supposed to be for safety and protection , not for murder . the laws shouldnt be changed because the laws are good enough . its not lke changing the laws are going to change the people , they are still going to find a way to get a hold on guns.

Right, drug laws are hypocritical too then.
You keep gibber gabbering about the government having more "power" over us. That's the point. If they didn't have control over us, we'd be out raping any gorgeous woman we saw, we'd be stealing PS2's from all over & we'd be getting stoned 24/7. (Again, those gangstah's, damn them!!)
Seriously, bringing up an argument such as "if the government has guns, why can't we?" is just weak. You're not in a position of power & you don't have to keep a whole country (or a large amount of people) in order. The reason police officers have guns is to maintain order. You, as a civillian have no excuse to have a gun except for protecting yourself. Last I checked a baseball-bat did just a good a job protecting someone.
If you had to keep a large amount of people in order and then needed a gun, I'd gladly had one to you myself. Since you don't. Hush.

In a democracy the people are one check, they have to be. A democracy is a government of the people, if electing different officials isnt changing anything anymore, the people need to take the initiative themselves to make change.
This isnt about keeping people in order, its about fighting back against the ones who are supposed to be keeping people in order but are doing a damn shitty job of it. Its bullshit to say power never corrupts people, thats ignorant as hell. Look at the labor riots, look at the democratic convention of 1972, look at the thousands of people that get harrassed by cops every day. What if it gets worse? The cops have guns, we dont. The people have no voice and like i said before, that makes government authoritarian, not democracy.
