Do you really need an Ak-47 or an M16 to protect yourself from a robber? What about hunting?

Once again, the ban in question did not have anything to do with the M-16 or the AK-47.

Quote:

And speaking of the second amendment, what do you think the mindset of our country's founders was? Does it make sense in this day and age?

Their mindset was that people should be able to keep and bear arms for defensive purposes- defense of country, defense of community, defense of family, and defense of self. And you're damn right it makes sense in this day and age. I don't know if you realize it, but it is NOT the duty of a police force to watch over every individual in their jurisdiction; they are only required to act after they have seen a crime comitted or recieve a report of a crime that has been/is being comitted. Self defense is still up to the private citizen, and yes, that does include a need for firearms.

And yet again, this should not even be an issue, since the right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, which should never be changed in any way, shape, or form. If you don't like the beliefs and ideals on which this country was founded, you don't have to live here; you can move to some country that has banned firearms- I think you'd quickly find out that crime is a bigger problem there than here.

Quote:

If all guns were illegal for all civilians, do you think law enforcement would be a lot easier? The same?

Harder. Harder because criminals would know beforehand that their victim would not be armed, so they would become more bold and violent than ever.

In many cases, the mere possibility that a potential victim could be armed is enough to prevent a crime. Why don't you hear about those cases? Simple- because no crime took place. It was diffused before it could happen because the victim had the firepower to defend themself against a criminal.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
