1.) Guns are used in self-defense over 2 million times a year. However, this makes the attempted crime a "non-event," which necessarily complicates the Police investigation. Without civilian ownership of guns, these Police investigations would not have been compromised. Civilians should leave crime prevention to the Police, who are properly equipped to investigate following the crime's completion.
2.) Some .004 % (4/1000 of 1%) of guns are used in crime each year. This is way too high. All guns should be banned
3.) Guns are unnecessary. In 98% of civilian gun defenses, no shot is fired. If you are not going to fire a shot, you clearly don't need a gun. This proves that the guns are unnecessary. Banning guns will prevent these unnecessary defenses.
4.) Guns cause criminal migration. In tough gun-law Washington, D. C., violent crime rates are very high. This high crime rate is caused by the migration of criminals from gun havens like Virginia. This migration is caused by the criminal's cowardly avoidance of armed householders and concealed-carry civilians. This criminal migration is detrimental to helpless unarmed citizens in no-gun areas and must be stopped. Guns should be banned everywhere.
5.) Most gun crimes are committed by inner city gangs and drug dealers. These relatively small and geographically restricted groups consistently commit the majority of gun crimes, which usually peak as turf wars erupt over Drug War changes. The best way to prevent this is by denying guns to all law abiding people everywhere.
6.) No woman needs to protect herself from rape, assault or murder. The Police will protect women by investigating the crime after the fact. Remember, Police paperwork is all the protection anyone really needs.
7.) Guns owners are disrespectful of authority. Good citizens should completely rely on the authorities. A failure to do so is an invariable sign of improper and overly independent attitudes. Failure to completely and absolutely trust and depend on the authorities is excessive democracy and sends a bad message to children.
8.) Guns owners engaging in self-defense are taking the law into their own hands. This is wrong. Only the Police and Criminals have the right to take the law into their own hands. It should be kept out of the hands of citizens.
9.) Children and young people should remain ignorant about guns. Real guns and real gun knowledge dissipate the fantasies created by violent video games and TV. Ignorance, once lost, can never be restored and needs to be protected. Not to mention the lost sales of all the violent movies, TV shows, video games, etc!
10.) Guns reduce people's reliance on the Police and Government. This fosters a mistaken belief in "rights". No person has the right to question authority. No person should be less than 100% dependent on authority. This is fundamental to social order. Banning guns will help to establish the Order the authorities want. This is good.

does this make any sense to
does this make any sense to annyone? these are so stupid i cant belive it.

i shoot guns i know all about guns and that doesn't stop me from buying any of those items

yea if your gona get shot your going to do what the person with the gun wants. so just because u dont fire dosent mean you dont need it.
6.) No woman needs to protect herself from rape, assault or murder. The Police will protect women by investigating the crime after the fact. Remember, Police paperwork is all the protection anyone really needs.
yea once your dead the police will investigate. or instead of dying u could protect yourself and and then the police could use u as an eye witness to put him away for atempted murder.
not to mention In 2004, there were 16,137 cases of murder or nonnegligent manslaughter in the United States. Because 37.4% of these cases went uncleared, around 6,035 people "got away with murder" that year.
and a restraining order wont matter to a crimanal. they brake laws what do they care about a restraining order?
7.) Guns owners are disrespectful of authority. Good citizens should completely rely on the authorities. A failure to do so is an invariable sign of improper and overly independent attitudes. Failure to completely and absolutely trust and depend on the authorities is excessive democracy and sends a bad message to children.
how does that even connect? since i own a gun im disrespectful of authority. since i bought a sandwich instead of a burger i am disrespecting mc donalds and burger king.
uhhhh ok
I had to create an account here just because of how retarded this is.
#1 - The police are expected to be at every single house in America to protect them? Yeah, thats impossible.
#2 - 0.004% is not reason to take my guns away.
#3 - Guns are necessary to people who enjoy hunting game. We cannot throw spears at animals.
#4 - Looks like those citizens should be allowed to carry guns to protect themselves since the police seem to not being doing their job to protect these people.
#5 - LOL, you are not taking my guns away just because some idiots claims turf over whatever. If anything I should have my gun to defend myself against these animals since the police cannot seem to do their job and remove these people from society.
#6 - Yeah, thats why women are raped, assaulted, and murdered everyday, the police are really doing their job aren't they?
#7 - I have never disrespected any authority and contact my state representatives everyday to voice my opinions without anger, without any form of hate, without any disrespect. So this is a load of crap. And once again you think the police can handle everything and be everywhere at all times.
#8 - My state and county give me the right to take the law into my own hands if my personal property or my family is in danger. I will NOT wait 5-10 minutes for police to arrive while my house is getting broken into or a criminal is coming after me or my family. I will take the law into my own hands, like the great state of Texas allows me to do.
#9 - Violent video games, movies, music, whatever you want to say does not cause violence. Canadians watch, listen to, and play the same video games, movies, and music as Americans, yet their murder and gun related crime rates are incredibly low. I listen to death metal music, some of the most violent music on the planet, yet I have never even been in a fist fight in my entire life.
#10 - Under the United States Constitution, Americans have the right to petition the government, so we can question authority on anything logical if the majority of Americans oppose it. This is no reason to ban guns lol
All in all whoever wrote this is retarded. All of these 10 reasons do not make since and are not justifiable to ban guns in any way. So I am sorry, but you do not make a logical case against guns. Try again.
Might I also remind you, the Constitution states "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", so if anyone is questioning authority it is YOU by trying to take our constitutional right away to have guns. Traitor!
