I still don't understand why Americans feel the need to carry guns? Yes it's in the constitution, but if not one had guns- it would be far less violence. Please tell me why people defend guns
I think most people outside of America (which is most of the world, surprisingly to many Americans (it's a joke guys)), and many Anericans too, are unable to understand it. I don't either.
The same reason all government military, police or security entities in the world defend their right to guns. Lack of trust in other human beings to protect your interests the same as they protect theirs. If you and I ever find ourselves in direct competition fighting over the same limited resources to survive but you have a gun and I don't, which of us gets to eat and which of us doesn't? If I dial 911 because someone with a gun just broke in my house, what are the odds the authorities will get there in time to save me. Ultimately, we defend gun rights because someone somewhere will always have a gun. Why should it only be the other guy. Because every mass shooting ever keeps going until someone shoots the shooter. Because by the time, police appear on scene, 50 people are dead and 53 others are wounded. Because mass shooters never start shit at a gun show where everyone in the building is potentially carrying
Idk why the fuck you got downvoted @banrez16 when you are absolutely right

Let me put it simply... if you have the connections and street smarts it's really easy to get an unregistered gun. So if we banned the legal means of acquiring a gun, the criminal can still get guns.
Not if you need a liscense to carry a gun, then you can be regulary checked. You could illegaly get a gun, but you couldnt legally carry it eithout being checked

Are we going to start strip checking all citizens then?
NYC stops people randomly on the streets to search for weapons and drugs. They don't only stop people carrying flicks. If you carry properly nobody knows you are. Like I've stated before, I carry everyday. Outside my closest friends and relatives nobody knows. All of my LEO relatives and friends carry every day off duty and without knowing ahead of time you would never know.

Exactly people don't know whether you're carrying or not. They would most likely start profiling criminals for this to work and that would lead to more problems and several more racist allegations. I for one would not like to be patted down on a daily bases simply because I fit the bill of a male minority.
Again, it's no coincidence that the country with the loosest gun control laws have the largest number of murders/shootings. These laws would definitely help. They would not eliminate murder, but it would reduce murder.
I'll surrender my weapon when EVERY other person in the country does and the border is closed and leos are disarmed. Till then, I'm keeping the playing field level AF.

A heard once (don't know if it's true) that during WWII, a Japanese soldier said that America could not be attacked because there was a gun behind every blade of grass. This is just something random that I remember...
Being from the UK (or just outside of America) this is INSANE to me. I mean, the main thing people are using guns to protect themselves from are other guns. It's all so tragically sad, people can't even get background checks
6 of the top 15 cities with the highest rates of poverty in the World are now in the US. Only the Elite prosper now. The top 10% of our population has accumulated more wealth than the other 90% combined. Many Americans are afraid of the American government now. Our politicians constantly speak of building walls and taking away freedom of religion. Any simple Google search will confirm: we are the new Nazi Germany. I hope you find a modern day Winston Churchill because you're going to need one

"We are the new Nazi Germany" Hahaha go be a pissy little bitch elsewhere. - "Oh hey guys did you know that we are literally Nazis". Lmao go put your tin foil hat on or "the man" Will hear your thoughts
I have served my country and fought in Basrah and Taleel, Iraq, Korozco. I've watched sick interrogations of prisoners of war and seen the heads cut off of children in Israel. I've seen a man with nothing but a hot dog cart on wheels to his name be blown to kingdom come in Jordan just because he was standing in the wrong fucking place. So fuck you, Korozco. The fuck do you know? Are you 20 or 30 years old maybe, never left your parents house and probably voting for Trump because you think he's going to "make America great again." That's exactly the ignorant garbage that Hitler said. He'll make his mark with you. And if not, Hillary will. Mock me if you want but at least read some real fucking news while you're at it

I actually abstained from voting this year but from your childish rant it's safe to assume that you're a Bernie supporter :). Let me guess you joined the military and told people you did it because you wanted to serve your country but really you joined because it was your only option. You knew what you were getting into, don't be a pissy bitch about it. Toughen up kid life doesn't get better for you :). If you had any basic knowledge of history, WW2 to be more accurate, you'd understand that making a comparison between Hitler's campaign and Trumps or even Hillary is moronic. But hey it's not like you joined the military for your intelligence :D
from what you said, only dumb people join the military and although you didn't vote yourself, you're still quick to point out the "bad voting" decisions of others. Hmm, got ya. For the record, I've served in the military and earned a bachelor degree. I've read your numerous comments. You constantly resort to taunting and name-calling in the comments section. Oh but I'm the one with the childish rants? Okay. And let's get a few other facts straight real quick since you're so god damn smart. Ways in which Trump IS similar to Hitler: 1) uses racism to rise to power 2) proposes mass deportations, 3) promises to "make country great again" 4) blames a small group of people for the country's problems (immigrants not Jews) but here's one way they're different: Hitler thought Jews should wear special ID's. However, Trump thinks Muslims should wear special ID's.
