Many people DEAD or some people annoyed? What do you think is more important to you?

So, think about it this way. IF there were no guns allowed in the U.S., I can list a few people that I KNEW that would still be alive. Sure, some people would still have guns, but LESS people would have them! Less people would be dead. It's totally the guy who pulled the trigger's fault, but insane people don't go and spend some 1,000 dollars on a smuggled gun, they use whatever they can find. Panda is right, you are shallow. Guns are the man cause of death, next to car crashes. DEATH is part of life, sure, but will it concern you when your grandmother, aunt and best friend (and her cousin) is dead, and your grandfather has had two strokes? I think so.

if a man traded his gun for a hoe, he will till a corrupted mans farm. if they took away guns in america, the people who own a gun for legitimate reasons, such as hunting, would be defenseless against the black market. Outlawing guns will not stop murderers. if you outlawed guns America would fall apart. Also, in america 8 out of 10 households have a gun. The ratio for other Countries are as low as 3 to 10, up to 6 to 10. Bigger ratios, larger casualties. America getting rid of guns, as is just about as likely Canada outlawing cold. It just isn't going to happen.
I see both yours and meta's side of the story, kittens, but there's no way people would just give up there weapons. Also, you guys seem to only be pointing out the negatives, what about firearm positives? Defense? what if a person, who didn't give up his gun robbed a bank? cops, and people who had a concealed weapons licence would only be able to watch as money is taken, as the gunman got away, with absolutely no consequence? What about recreational uses? Hunting is a big part of american's lives. about 60% or more of american have hunted at least once in there life, and I'm sure if you did, you would understand why. It's the experience, trust me. There are so many things BAD that would happen if guns were completely outlawed in America, and the negatives would surpass the positives.

You would have to go though a background check to get a gun, to make sure that you weren't crazy. People would still have guns 'n stuff, but if you really were in a stick up and you had a gun, and the police were there, they would shoot you. On the spot. They would think you were the criminal. And they are allowed to do that.

police do not shoot unless absolutely necessary. most banks make a requirement that makes sure that the cashiers behind the counter have a concealed weapons licence, and they would probably handle a robber before the police even got there.
And they are allowed to do that.

hmm...i think everyone has missed my point, im not being shallow with my disregard for death, just the opposite. so many people in the world need to be dead for the human species to survive, at the rate we are going human fertility will be impossible within 4 generations.its simple evolutionary laws. also as to the remark about most people not being crazy enough to buy a gun for a thousand dollars, thats only for a large submachine gun. do you know what the man in Connecticut used? a glock handgun. so there are 2 issues with that. #1 is that the criminals would certainly find a way to sell them cheaper, if not just make them themselves. inmates can make guns in prison, so i dont think our average criminal will have a problem. and #2 is you have no idea how attached americans are to owning guns. its in our constitution, without that one provision we could become a dictatioship quite easily. sometimes it pains me that people cant see that real darkness that lives in our world, but it pains me more that so many people that do realize it cant accept it. all i have to say is that man in Connecticut is a poser who wanted to go out in a flame of "glory" when he couldnt handle his own shit
