| People kill people. Guns are just tools used to kill. It's not the gun that's bad, it's the person behind the trigger. Gun control=bad idea. |

I'm against gun control but this is not a great way of explanation.

| In Jamaica, poor control on smuggling weapons killed people. After the security on illegal smuggling got heavier, Jamaica went from having the #1 highest homicide rate in the world to being relatively moderate. |

Doing stuff ot legal owners does absolutely nothing. |

| Yeah, you see, we were bulking up security on the way that gang members got guns. In case any of you didn't know, gang activity in Jamaica is (or was) HUGE. The people who received weapons from illegal smuggling were typically the people who used them in a position of offense instead of just defense. So, by blocking off one of their main sources, Jamaica has been getting better. |

@Zegions, It would be much easier to have a fine line drawn between what the Military would use and anyone that isn't in the Militiary shouldn't be able to use it. Such as, The military/police force should have access to assult rifles, snipers, powerful shotguns, and higher caliber rifles. While common people would have access to things like lower caliber rifles, handguns, and shotguns. There is a point where having a gun for hunting and self defense is just a little much. Your not going to need a M16 to defend your house. |

| Maintaining a proper registry of guns and banning "saturday night specials" might help, defining such a weapon would be a problem though. |

| No, if only the military can use guns, the military could use us as play toys (Because we can't defend ourselves) and they can kill us for fun. |

| What makes the military and police so morally superior to the common man that they should have heavier small arms than us? Honestly it is ridiculous. The police are the reason we need our weapons more than ever. |

Guns do kill people. It's absurd to say that removing guns would prevent all murder, but it sure would reduce it!
Besides, you have no constitutional right to own firearms in America anyways. |
