I have friends that would kill the government agents that tried to take their guns. Hopefully, no one tries to outlaw guns in New Hampshire, because a lot of people will die. And the serious criminals and government agents will still have goods (two bad things). I mean, I don't mind government agents having guns, as long as non-government workers are allowed to own machine guns and stuff. But if only government agents and criminals had guns, the regular folks could be walked all over with no way of defending themselves. In case anyone is thinking it, no, I'm not encouraging violence or anything. I'm a quaker and judging by many of the posts in this thread, one of the least violent people in this thread. |
You surely must agree, freetalk, that something should be done? There are potential solutions in between 'do nothing' and 'ban guns completely' Gun licenses are used to great effect in the majority of the world, and another good option would be to make the unsafe storage of a gun to be a crime, even if you allow people to keep loaded guns, they should be uncocked and have a safety on.
As for your friends who would kill government agents who came to take their guns, this is exactly the sort of person who is most likely to cause deaths by having a gun. When they inevitably fail the psychological test for required to get a gun license, the army or swat would very easily be able to subdue them, and the world will be a lot safer with them behind bars for trying to kill policemen. This is an excellent example how gun licensing requirements prevent firearms deaths
