Should America ban guns?

assault rifles yes need to be banned no reason for them

no because in some place familes hunt for survival its the onky way the eat

even if gus was banned the thugs still would get them and we would be at the mercy of them and crime would skky rocket because the common citizen cant protect themselves

No! We shouldn't have a ban on guns. It's our second amendment right! Will the cops, and military get to keep them if there is a ban on guns? If that answer is 'yes', then Ha! Hell no on that! What we need to do is put any prospective gun owner through a rigorous bunch of exams and background checks. Delve super deep into the person's life. Leave no stone unturned to find out all their thoughts, gripes, complaints, pet peeves, or any anger issues. We give them a 1000 question test and re-word some of the questions to see if they answer basically the same question different ways. Then, and only then, will we be able to be pretty dang sure that the prospective gun owners are responsible and intelligent enough to have them or not. We also should do the same with the current gun owners. We need to tell the nutjobs like Lanza, Roberts, Holmes, Loughner, etc "Hell no you can't have a gun. You're too f'd up in

the head." We then send them kicking and screaming into the nearest nut house.

No that what the big government left wingers want a armed state oppressing a unarmed citizenry there will use the recent tragedy to push there socialist agenda. Obama is already taking advantage the foolish sheep will follow and America will become more a socialist dictatorship.The second amendment is a important liberty that needs a nation wide referendum to appeal it.Banning guns will not stop such a evil act the black market will just grow.

More restrictions should be in place

The idea that if anybody tried to mug me, hurt my family or break into my house would be dreadful a gun would certainly come in useful but the school massacre shows us that owning a gun is not always used for self protection

Guns are pretty much banned in Chicago, look at the murder rate there. Yes there are guns all around Chicago, but not the violence, so there must be some other factor. I believe Mexico has very strict gun laws as well, and look at their murder rate, it is horrendous.

Yes let's hope they do, it would be a much better and safer country to visit, if nobody owned or wanted to own a gun. It would be much nicer for American supermarkets to stop selling bullets for real guns, and just stock 'nerf guns' (toys) instead.

The former Europeans that stole land from the native Americans, have all been settled for at least 200 years, I think it's fair to say, that they are safe to melt down their guns.

Yes the United States should ban guns; but it's way too late for that now.

Restrict access and ban semi-autos and hand guns.

We did it in Australia and the murder rate reduced by 31% and we haven't had a spree killer since 96, when the ban was enforced. We used to get on average 2 spree killers a year.

NO. AND PEOPLE WHO SAY YES SHOULD BE BRANDED AS TRAITORS.

And anyone who even suggest the 2nd Amendment isn't valid is a traitor. If you believe this, then get out of America. We don't need you and we don't want you.

Yes
