Slow down bud, let them keep their knives before we ban their guns. ------- First we should ban breathing and drinking water as everybody who has breathed air and/or drank water has died. |

Also whilist on the subject:
"INTRODUCTION International evidence and comparisons have long been offered as proof of the mantra that more guns mean more deaths and that fewer guns, therefore, mean fewer deaths.1 Unfortunately, such discussions are all too often been afflicted by misconceptions and factual error and focus on comparisons that are unrepresentative. It may be useful to begin with a few examples. There is a com‐ pound assertion that (a) guns are uniquely available in the United States compared with other modern developed nations, which is why (b) the United States has by far the highest murder rate. Though these assertions have been endlessly repeated, statement (b) is, in fact, false and statement (a) is substantially so. Since at least 1965, the false assertion that the United States has the industrialized world’s highest murder rate has been an artifact of politically motivated Soviet minimization designed to hide the true homicide rates.2 Since well before that date, the Soviet Union
possessed extremely stringent gun controls3 that were effectuated by a police state apparatus providing stringent enforcement.4 So successful was that regime that few Russian civilians now have firearms and very few murders involve them.5 Yet, manifest suc‐ cess in keeping its people disarmed did not prevent the Soviet Union from having far and away the highest murder rate in the developed world.6 In the 1960s and early 1970s, the gun‐less So‐ viet Union’s murder rates paralleled or generally exceeded those of gun‐ridden America. While American rates stabilized and then steeply declined, however, Russian murder increased so drasti‐ cally that by the early 1990s the Russian rate was three times higher than that of the United States. Between 1998‐2004 (the lat‐ est figure available for Russia), Russian murder rates were nearly four times higher than American rates. Similar murder rates also characterize the Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and various other now‐independent European nations of the former U.S.S.R.7 Thus, in the United States and the former Soviet Union transition‐ ing into current‐day Russia, “homicide results suggest that where
guns are scarce other weapons are substituted in killings.”8 While American gun ownership is quite high, Table 1 shows many other developed nations (e.g., Norway, Finland, Germany, France, Denmark) with high rates of gun ownership. These countries, however, have murder rates as low or lower than many devel‐ oped nations in which gun ownership is much rarer. For example, Luxembourg, where handguns are totally banned and ownership of any kind of gun is minimal, had a murder rate nine times higher than Germany in 2002.9"

Please provide me the complete bibliography on that post.
Guns should be given to the military, because they are meant to kill people.
If the criminal doesn't have a gun, the defender won't need a gun either.
That's why they would have knives. |

No. ------ And you think that the criminals here would accept a gun ban? They're criminals they don't abide by the law. That should be obvious. |

@flatline115 OR, perhaps to own a weapon to serve in your state's militia.
Besides, you couldn't defeat the US with an uprising. The constitution is pretty much flip-flopping its entire purpose if that was the case. |

@flatline115 Sure, there would be some trouble for a while. But as ARMED police continue to crackdown on weapons, the amount of gun-wielding criminals would drop.
It won't be an instant change. |

I've made this argument over and over again.
Let us put aside our arguments and continue foruming, without an ugly flamewar, yes? |

OR, perhaps to own a weapon to serve in your state's militia. ------------------ If this was the case then why during the founding fathers run did normal citizens, besides people in the army have guns certainly. But lets look at the historical context around this. If they believed in peacefully getting political agendas done then what was the American revolution? Was it not an armed conflict? Was it Ghandi like peaceful? No it wasn't.
Besides, you couldn't defeat the US with an uprising. The constitution is pretty much flip-flopping its entire purpose if that was the case. ---------------- Without the people the US government has no power. If most of the army, navy and airforce left who's going to operate the weapons they have....? The president and his cabinet? |

I know nobody who wants to just go and hand in their guns. Nobody will do that the gun culture in America is way to strong for that and you know that's true am I lying? |

| The colonial citizenry is what formed this nation, not an organized and professional army. We have the right to keep and bear arms AND to form militias because the founding fathers knew of the evils of a tyrannical government, and didn't want a repeat of the events in the new nation. Even if the military sided with the government and tried to put down an uprising, it'll be a guerilla insurgency that will last for decades, if not, forever. |
