Do you think guns should be illegal in America?

[lorettahknox]

I wish I could say yes, I really do but I fear for myself and innocent people who will not be able to protect themselves against criminals who will no doubt find a way to get guns and hurt people. I think it would be very difficult to ban guns here in the states. So I would say yes and no.

I think there should be more gun control by running background checks.  Every One have their rights to stand their ground to protect themselves against criminals. Making difficult  for them get guns to hurt other people.

[gennjen]

NO! We americans have the rights to bear arms under our constitution.

[smithjcsdfw]

Absolutly not.  I grew up in a rural area of El Paso and we made a living shooting rabits and coyotes.

I feel that guns should not be illegal. However there should be some that are. Your basic pistols for personal protection are fine as well as rifles for hunting, but military power guns should be illegal to have at home.

No..guns shouldn't be illegal.  Many people who own guns use them mostly for recreational use like hunting.  Some use it for self protection.  It's the criminals and absent minded people that cause the shootings of other people.  Remember:  Guns don't kill people...people kill people.

I agree with most of you. Criminals will always find a way to get guns. What a scary world when law abiding people (because they obey the law) don't have guns, but only criminals do. Plus I believe in the Constitution and it is written there that people shall have the right to bear arms.

I detest guns, there sole purpose is to destroy.  However, guns would still be available even if illegal.  Just look at the illegal drug trade.

[ljrjess69]

yes i think guns should be legal with propper back ground cheaks etc

[kolathegreat]

who will be able to tell

[mrisha]

Whether they are illegal or not, guns can't pull the trigger itself-the hand behind it does. 

[lher0277]

yes,  i think stun guns are better, nobody gets killed and the effects dont last long

[mstevenson2]

i think except for hunting there should be no guns and we like alaska should have places in the city to luck up hunting guns

[ajami]

I do not think anyone should have a right to bear arms in this country.  United is so busy trying to every other nation's war but cannot even control their own war here.  It has to stop and the best way to start is by out lawing gun.  Get rid of the right to bear arms.

No I feel that the gun policies should stay the way they are. We have the second Amendment for a reason... For example the U.S people that hunt to provide for their families. I am one of those people. So I feel we should just leave well enough alone.
