Guns

[PD]

All I have to say, again, is that people should have the right to bear firearms. Gun control is stupid.

And he wants to run for president?  Haha!!
Imagine PD in a debate.

Just to let you know, I have won every debate I've ever been in. I'm on my high school's debate team. I'm also an elected Student Senate member.

What is stupid about it? The US has about 12,000 gun related murders a year, the UK has less than 70. Doesn't that tell you something? The US only has 5 times Britain's population yet has 170 times more gun related deaths. Gun control works, it's a fact. In the UK we have violent crime just like anywhere, but most of it involves fists rather than guns. Surely that is better? Very few criminals here carry guns, if gun control was relaxed we would have an arms race to see who could get armed up to the hilt first, us or the criminals. No thanks!

It's stupid because the Constitution states that people have a right to bear arms. Don't get me wrong, I hate dirt bags that shoot innocent people, but the liberal stance on gun control is this: "Guns are evil! They are so barbaric! Take them away from everyone forever!"

PD, I'm not sure liberals do say this? I certainly don't. As I said, I wouldn't ban guns completely. Farmers need them to protect livestock from foxes etc. They have a legitimate reason for wanting one. I don't believe your average person in the street has a valid reason for wanting to own or carry one, not in the UK anyway.  To protect yourself and family doesn't wash with me. You can do that without blowing someone's head off!

Well, it's a lot easier to protect yourself and your family by blowing someone's head off. Anyway, if someone comes into your house, threatens you and your family, and you approached them with a gun and told them to get out, they'd probably do it. I guarantee you that won't happen if you're holding a bat or knife. Another thing: what if they have a gun? You'd stand a much better chance of fighting back if you also had a gun instead of a bat or knife.
