  • Yeah sure, if you ban guns the 'bad guys' won't get any, but then neither will the good guys. What if there's another civil war? The military (and everyone in the government) would have all the power and the people will be only left with sticks.

    • Seriously? You feel like you have to arm yourselves against the government?

      And you people constantly criticize other countries for not being democratic. I know I'm quite blunt here, but maybe the US should fix their own problems before they go invading other countries.

      • Yes, because the government lies. Everyone does... especially if they have power. The government likes to grow and the only way it's going to do that is if it takes power from the people AKA take away the rights our fathers worked so hard to create. If they take the right to bear arms and if some civil war WAS to happen, the people would be defenseless.

        And LOL@your overgeneralization. You assume that everyone in the US is going to be democratic? And I wish the US would fix it's problem and I wish we would stay out of other peoples business. America wants to be the super hero and save everyone, but we're just hurting ourselves.

        • About my overgeneralization: I'm talking about American politicians. That's the reason they bring up most to start wars. I never claimed the US is democratic. Your elections consist out of choosing between two eerily similar special interest groups. Doesn't look like a democracy to me.

          But you can't overtake the military. They're still better equipped and have had way better training than the average Joe. If you want to change your country for the better, I suggest you motivate people to vote for third parties. So something will finally change in your country.

          I can't tell you what to do, but if you hate your government so much, you should do something about it. Nothing can come from nothing.

          • You know, I wish I could change the country for the better. And they always say that one person can make a difference, but one person can't unless they have a billion dollars or they're famous. I'm never going to have either one. Neither can I motivate... I just suck at it.

            Voting doesn't work either since it's the electoral college who votes for the president. However, they tend to side with the popular vote.

            Further more, America isn't a democracy, it's a republic.

            No, we can't overtake the military in any sense, however I'd rather fight them with guns then sticks (gives me more hope I guess?).

            aaaaaaand last, but not least... why are we still talking about this? I hate arguing or 'debating' especially online.
