To all those who talk about guns and freedom and whatever:
So... do you guys want "absolute freedom"? ... in other words, being able to kill, rape, robe whoever you want whenever you want and always get away with it? Laws exist for a reason. While security may limmit our so-called "freedom", I think it's a fair trade. I'm not against ownership of guns. But being able to freely walk around with a concealed gun outside and point it at whoever you want is absolutely ridicolous. Owning a gun and being able to use it however you want is not freedom. It's insanity.
If the defination of freedom is "being able to do whatever you want and not having to take any responsibility", then complete freedom is nothing but chaos. And chaos is usually not a very good thing. Freedom IS better off being limmited to a certain extent, as long as you're still able to walk your own path trough life, make your own decisions, have your own oppinions and thoughts etc...
That's the only freedom anyone really needs. Being able to walk around with concealed guns really isn't needed.
Well, that's how I see it anyways.
Now, from a more personal point of view (and please note: I'm NOT debatting anything here, just speaking freely) I also disslike guns as a weapon because you have no controll over the amount of power that you're going to strike with. And I also consider them cheap. Being able to win a fight by simply pulling a trigger isn't fair-play in my book. A REAL man fights with a spoon!

Same over here. And I'm glad for that.Originally Posted by Vincent, Thunder God
Also, I remember someone saying something about "taking away the right to defend themselves" in this thread. I won't bother to scroll trough the thread again just to see who it was, but: Taking away your gun is hardly taking away your right to defend yourself. In fact, there's much better and more realible ways to defend yourself (if you'll actually ever even need to do that) than threatening, whoever you want to defend yourself from, with a gun.
