Debate:What level of Gun Control is appropriate? (view source)
Revision as of 19:23, July 13, 2009
, 19:23, July 13, 2009→No Gun Control is best, since it's a Constitutional Right
::A degranged, but motivated individual like Cho would simply find some other way. If there were more gun control, one situation would be for Cho to have bought a Car or Truck and driven it onto campus, running down unspecting students and killing them. A student with a gun could stop Cho in this and most other means of massacre. Students being allowed and encouraged to carry guns is obvious deterant. Half-baked, "feel-good" policies don't save lives or deter the criminally insane, lawful gun carrying citizens will either persuasively or forcefully.

:::Keeping guns out of the hands of felons and the insane is common sense, not a "feel-good" policy. As for the scenario you describe, if you think the average person could react to a speeding car mowing down innocents by pulling a gun from a backpack or case and aiming to take out the driver without injuring other before the car passes by, then you are counting on the average college student to be better in a crisis than Jack Bauer on '24'. You're right about the inventiveness of people determined to kill, though. You can't prevent everything, but reasonable regulation of something as lethal as guns respects both the Second Amendment and our common sense. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 15:44, 11 December 2008 (EST)

The foundation of the United States of America is the constitution, and the constitution blatantly states in the second amendment that it is the right of every American to own guns, to say that Americans should not be allowed, or limited to buying guns is a violation of the constitution of the United States, the law is clearly obvious in this sense, and if an individual does not like what the constitution allows as freedom to its citizens, maybe they would be better off living in a much more tyrannical and authoritarian government.
