What do you guys think about concealed carry?

[AandF6969]

Yeah guns are great for self defense but the reason the writers of the constitution thought it was so important to have as a basic right was because they just got out of an oppressive government... and had to use their guns to do it.

Guns are freedom's last defense. It's a lot easier to control and oppress a population that is unarmed. Japan actually considered attacking the west coast of the US in WWII but decided against it due to the large numbers of guns in the country.

So are you saying that the US is on a level with the countries listed above? - Wow, no wonder you're all paranoid...

I'm saying it's possible in any country. As soon as everyone says "oh, it can't happen here" and gives up all of their freedoms for safety, the government has become too powerful. Governments will always want more power... and people have to decide whether to give up their freedoms for (possible) safety (Patriot act, firearms, etc. )

I do recall, we used firearms to get away from an oppressive government a couple of hundred years ago.

We recently banned all handguns over here (one school massacre was enough for us!) and strangely there was no resultant cull of christians, gays or anyone else - weird huh?

Sure, it didn't happen right away. But if your government were to become overpowering, it could overpower its citizens a hell of a lot easier. Wouldn't you agree?

The handgun ban seems like its not working so well, either...

In favor of the most power military force in the world... and a country people are literally dying to get into. A country that (sometimes) lets its citizens have a means to defend themselves.

And I agree, Bush is a retard.

Don't you guys in england remember ww2? The germans wanted to wipe you guys out. You notice the Israels don't run up up, dig their own graves and wait to be shot anymore they have armed teachers in their schools and you can actually go to the local police and check out a sub machine gun if you feel you need it. I guess they trust their people Imagine virginia tech if it happened in israel (which they have actually had fools try that, they killed a few but in the end they were blasted)

to use the school shootings as an anti gun arguement is insane. in both cases the shooters planned to kill. not shoot, kill. poison, fire, any way they pleased. gun was just a tool. i hope we dont try to shut down the louisville slugger factory everytime someone uses a bat in a crime. and to those who think banning guns would do any good please remember that pot, cocaine, and steroids are all illegal yet they are just as easy to come by as anything else. a gun ban will not work!! nor should it.

Even if we all lived in peace and war and violence stopped happening, who gives a shlt, I still like target shooting, reloading, bullet casting and hunting. Guns are not just for killing people! I have a hard time knocking a deer down with a rock and I can't run fast enough to whomp him over the head with a stick (besides he might fuk me up) Don't bother mentioning bows because after guns they will show pics of evil broadheads and show dumbass kids killed because they played "lets catch the arrows as they fall they will ban them too.

My understanding is that they are a nuisance there,,, like a deer is where I live,, here we also have wild dogs that really need to be thinned out too....I dont think that makes me a villan.... Ive eaten some of every deer that I ever killed.. ummmm gooood...

I suppose I could see it if they were carrying off little kids but these big game hunters that just shoot animals to stick on the wall makes me sick.

btw, Im getting ready to hunt deer Nov 15
