Topic: Let's sort out this gun debate.

I would probably pick the first option.I dont like guns nor do I like killing people.I think guns should be ban from selling to the ordinary citizens in every country and this world would be a much safer place to live in.You give me a gun or a knife,I rather choose a knife.

If everyone had a gun,would that stop muggings and violent crime?I say the knifers around the country would think twice about stabbing someone who may have a gun,though the knifers would then become snipers probably.

If ordinary people had guns then the criminals would have automatic weapons, it'd basically become an arms race like it has in the US.

I'm against arming the police for exactly this reason. People used to rob banks with a big stick, now they use a shotgun, in the future it'll probably be an uzi, or a f***ing tank!!

They use computers to rob banks these days indi.

Problem is, if I would be allowed to have a hand-gun, that would mean that several thousands of nutters would also be allowed to have one. Therefor, I'd rather go with option 1 and just tell the burglars to take whatever the f*** they want.

Have you ever been burgled?

Comedy gold very time. How do you manage it?

No. Why?
Of course I'd rather see them dead, but that would mean that a whole lot of f***ed up people would be able to carry guns, I'd rather just let them take what they want and let my insurance company deal with the losses.

That is fair enough and a reasoned response and would probably be mine as well. But I know a couple who were quite badly and aggressively robbed (tied up etc) and to this day he says the feeling of helplessness was embarassing and if he'd had a gun he would have started shooting.

It's of course a nightmare scenario. However, the repercussions (Dave, help us with the spelling here) will probably be far greater if you would end up shooting and killing the burglars. Not only cause you'll go to jail, but I bet you it's very hard on you mentally to kill someone.

The ones that are likely to shoot you don't.

Probably a good job he didn't then.

I would never want a gun, especially not to use. There may be times when I will wish I had one, but this  would be the time where, in reality, I would least like to have one. If I'm wishing for a gun I'm not in control of myself, and the last thing I would ever want is a murder on my mind for the rest of my life.

Edit: In essence I guess what I'm saying is that not only do I not want a gun, I don't want the chance to have one, when it comes down to it.
