Geez you people. If you take away guns from citizens that means only police and criminals have guns, is that really what you want? Who will defend your life when an armed robber breaks into your house or place of business? It won't be the police because they're there to arrest the criminal after the fact, not to save your life.

If just one law abiding person in that movie theatre in Colorado was carrying a concealed weapon he could have stopped the "Batman massacre" before it even began. What did the police do besides bag and tag the victims?

So you're telling me you could kill someone? Also, most of the time you can use whatever is at hand to fight a burguler.

where's does the constitution define the line between murder and lawful gun ownership?


Where does the constitution define the line between murder and lawful knife ownership?

Where does the constitution define the line between murder and lawful baseball bat ownership?

Murder is the act of killing another individual, and a person is just as dead if they're killed by a knife or a gun. If you want to lower murder rates you reduce the number of people with motive to kill other individuals, you don't arbitrarily ban guns, knives, basball bats, or martial arts.

I knew that knives and bats kill too, just like guns. These things oviously happen for other reasons, like economic or social reasons, just help those people, it's amazing how America's is the richest, most powerful country in the whole world yet so many live in poverty, yet so many live in prison among other serious problems, yet it is so respected in this world. What's amazing is it's so rich but so in debt it can't even help it's own people, they don't feel apart of society, so they commit crimes to do, even if it's murder, they just show up. This sort of thing, shows the major flaws in capitalism. But honestly answer the question, if someone threatened you, would you shoot to kill? 

If I had a gun (I don't) I would shoot to stop them, which would (most likely) be targeting center of mass, and if it killed them I would live with the consequences ... I don't believe any average citizen ever really shoots to kill.
