| | 2. Latrivia (1528) | 3 years ago | Actually, (assuming we're talking about the U.S.)the constitution was ratified in 1787 - you're 17 years off. Also, the second amendment was about the people being able to protect themselves from many things, including their own government.
There are two reasons why people are against gun control. One is that, to a certain degree, it is unconstitutional; the second reason is that it doesn't work. The cities in America with the strictest gun control are also the cities with the worst crime. Yet, ironically, in cities where every household has a gun, crime rates are incredibly low. It kind of throws off the "guns cause violence" argument, you know?

marmalaide (450) | 3 years ago | You are getting confused between cause and effect.
The cities with the worst crime rates presumably introduced strict gun control in order to try and do something about their high levels of crime. But crime isn't caused by lax gun control, it is caused by poverty and lack of opportunity. Criminals are already criminals, so changes in the law were not going to change the way they behaved. The crime wasn't caused by the gun laws, the gun laws were caused by the crime.
Similarly, cities where every household has a gun are more prosperous places, where there are more middle-class householders anxious to protect their property, fearful of crime, and willing to spend their money on something they may never use. Such cities have a lower crime rate anyway, and their laws remain loose because there is not enough gun crime to prompt anyone to tighten them.

| | 3. bobmnu (2647) | 3 years ago | Gun Control and Gun Registration makes it easier for a Dictator to take control of the country. Hitler did it in Germany. The first he rounded up his opponents and then he took the guns away. The communits did the same thing in Russia and Cuba. Makes you think what is the reason some politicians push so hard for gun control?

marmalaide (450) | 3 years ago | Hmmm... we in the UK have no guns, and also no dictator. We have a free press instead. It seems to have worked well enough for the past couple of hundred years.
I have to wonder where all these people who say that guns are necessary to protect their democracy were in November 2000 when their elections were being rigged?

bobmnu (2647) | 3 years ago | Just some information for you about the elections being rigged. The only conviction was some democratic operatives (the son of a Deomcratic legislator,a political stragitis from outof state and a third person) in Milwaukee, WI, who flattened the tires of the vans which were to be used to get voters out to the polls. Dispite all the charges leveled by the democratics they never took any of the cases to court. Most of the places where the charges were made were controled by the Democratics.

I absolutely promise you a dictator is in the future of the UK. History has lessons to teach. One of them is that tryants and criminals always seek out those least able to defend themselves. It may not happen over night, but the UK has set itself up for some very bad things. Things which could be avoided if honest citizens were allowed arms and the right to use them.
I have read the Federalist papers that apply to the 2d admendment to the US constitution. It is very clear that the 2d admendment refers to the right of the people to be able to overthrow their own corrupt tryanical government, defend their property, and repel invasion. I would say also, "In that order!".
