      Hell yes. Those goddamned guns. They aren't good for anything but killing. While we're at it, let's get rid of knives.

        I'll get rid of my guns the day all the anti-gun people post signs outside their house that clearly reads:

        "This is a gun free home"

              Good comeback. I expected a few brain-dead responses like yours but you actually took the time to find some links to back up your stance! Way to go!

                        A strong argument is as wide as it is deep.

                          Ok, assuming you guys are trying to put up a valid argument ....

                          The GTA (Toronto area) has over 3.5 million people. In any given year there are 50-75 homicides, gun-related or otherwise. Check out some stats on U.S. cities of a comparable size. Canada has gun control and if it weren't bordering a country that does not, there would be even less guns (as so many enter the country illegally from the U.S.)

                          Water and electricity do kill people, yes, but they kill people only where there is water and electricity. Guns only kill people where there are guns. And I think it's a fair statement to say that we need water to live - electricity of course is debatable.

                          I guess if you don't see any problem with children being killed by guns, even more so when it's by another child who presumably found it in his/her home, then there is no convincing you. I guess the only way you'll change your mind is if it happened to someone you know.

                                    Most, if not all of these deaths were caused by people breaking the law. What makes you think they're going to all of a sudden start obeying NEW gun control laws?

                                        Guns dont kill people. People kill people.

                                        I walked by a gun laying on the sidewalk the other day. I stopped, and sat to watch it. For 10 hours I sat there, and the gun did not move. It did not make an aggressive move towards anything. Not the birds that shit on it, not the people that kicked it. But in the mean time there were two fist fights in the park behind me. There was a car crash and fight in the street in front of me. There was a man beating a woman in the window of an appartment across the street. But the gun did not move.

                                        Control the people. Not the guns.

                                            so you feel that if every country were to outlaw firearms, that all the guns would just vanish, and all gun related deaths would cease?

                                            A good way to stop the child deaths would be for the parents to tell the children to not ever touch a gun if they found it, and to leave and tell an adult if one of thier friends had one. Wouldnt stop every death but its a good place to start.

                                            The hard part, is finding good parents that actually talk to thier kids.

                                                    yeah gun control is a great idea, if you're a NAZI. tell me please, where were the parents in all of this.

                                                    you people passing the blame to inanimant objects just because parents refuse to be responsible. it's really sad and depraved. maybe one day you people will open your eyes and realize that gun control is not the answer. gun education, and PARENTS being safe with their firearms is.

                                                        The GTA (Toronto area) has over 3.5 million people. In any given year there are 50-75 homicides, gun-related or otherwise. Check out some stats on U.S. cities of a comparable size. Canada has gun control and if it weren't bordering a country that does not, there would be even less guns (as so many enter the country illegally from the U.S.)

                                                        Now you are showing your ignorance.

                                                        American does have gun control laws. It's just that they are not properly enforced.

                                                        Canada has gun prevention laws.

                                                              This fucking argument that guns are inanimate objects is about the weakest shit I've heard. So to all you people that think that way, would it be okay with you if everyone had a nuclear device? After all they are inanimate objects, they are harmless until a person detonates one. And the funny thing is its the same people that argue that everyone should be able to have guns that are for stopping countries such as Iran from having nukes, WTF is that about? Joe the maniac down the street can have a gun yet Mohammed can't have a nuke?
                                                              They are both inanimate objects. If some of you people could actually use your fucking heads once in a while it would be scary.

So to all you people that think that way, would it be okay with you if everyone had a nuclear device? After all they are inanimate objects, they are harmless until a person detonates one. And the funny thing is its the same people that argue that everyone should be able to have guns that are for stopping countries such as Iran from having nukes, WTF is that about? Joe the maniac down the street can have a gun yet Mohammed can't have a nuke?
                                                                      They are both inanimate objects. If some of you people could actually use your fucking heads once in a while it would be scary.

I'm sure it needs to be cleaned, u don't want to take any chances the next time someone is trying to break into your house, or invade your country again like those damn 'redcoats' (do the research). Man would your face be red. go ahead. clean it.

Law enforcement literally begged the White House and for absolutely no explicable reason, automatic weapons were "legal" again. Does anyone need an Uzi for self-defence of their home?

                                                                                  That, to me, is a problem with gun control, laws or not.

I learned a lesson last night in downtown Seattle. Me and Scott from Streamate went to an after hours club last night and as we?re leaving a Chevy Blazer almost runs us over while we?re crossing the street. The passenger is hanging out of the window yelling, ?Get the fuck out of the way.? I had had a few drinks and the fact that they almost killed us pissed me off. My stupid reaction was to spit, and as luck would have it, it hit the passenger dickhead right in the chest. Right after this happens he says ?fuck you, I have a gun.? So now I?m thinking this is bad.

                                                                                          Scott and I double-time it to his truck as the guys are turning around to come back. They catch up to us and I have nowhere to go so I just turn and face the consequences. I see the driver, not a big guy, jump out and run at me. As he?s running he?s reaching for his waistline and I see that he does indeed have a gun. I?m pretty much thinking my life is over at this point. I just looked at him and raised my exposed palms to show him I don?t really want to die. He just pushes me and I let him. By this time Scott has his pistol out of his truck and is assuring that if I get shot, the shooter dies too. Then he runs away.

                                                                                          I?m not one to back down from fights, and the spitting was stupid stupid stupid, but WTF? Doesn?t anyone remember how to fight with their hands? I would have gladly fought this guy, either of them actually. I learned a valuable lesson, EVERYONE HAS A GUN. Just thought I?d share with GFY
                                                                                          Here is your America. Stupid retard inbreed idiots. Actually i have no problems with people like this having guns if they just shoot the other inbreed fucks. Too bad innocent people always seem to get involved.

For 10 hours I sat there, and the gun did not move. It did not make an aggressive move towards anything. Not the birds that shit on it, not the people that kicked it. But in the mean time there were two fist fights in the park behind me. There was a car crash and fight in the street in front of me. There was a man beating a woman in the window of an appartment across the street. But the gun did not move.

                                                                                            Control the people. Not the guns.

In Alaska, Maryland and Nevada as well as D.C., firearm death rates in 1998 exceeded those for car accidents. (CDC & Natnl. Vital Statistics Report, 1999)
