GUNZ !!! BANG!

[Vincent, Thunder God]

That view is exactly why America had almost 12 000 murders with guns one year, when places like China had under 100.

Freedom isn't nice. Freedom isn't pretty. When people are free you can count on them abusing it. It's unfortunate that those people died, but without abriding personal freedom nothing could have been done about those murders. You forget that freedom is inalienable, regardless of how many people suffer because of it.

How freedom is defined depends on the person. To me, freedom is the ability to walk down a street without fearing who has a gun concealed on their person.

This is a fact featured in the film Bowling for Columbine (or Farenheit 911, one of the two).

that fact is wrong.

Before Northern Chaos God declares "pwned" like an immature child, I would like to see a source to the truth of this statement.

If you are walking down the street and I have a gun on me, how are you even going to know or be affected? You won't. If YOU don't cuase me trouble and try to rob me then you have nothing to worry about form me. Why take my right to protect myself.

Because that right had been abused time and time again.

I'm not saying you necessarily will do it, but many have before, and many will still.

In Canada, we don't need to protect ourselves with guns because we don't need that kind of protection. There are other ways to protect one's self, and most of the time there is no need for protection.

We don't have that fear of needing protection, but you Americans do. Maybe if you weren't conditioned to fear through your TV news and didn't have guns around, you wouldn't think to need protection, just like us.
