I agree somewhat. I feel the same, then I look at how thriving the black market would be. Obama wants to drastically raise the tax on ammunition and guns, which is a good start.

Without guns, the US would have Queen Elizabeth II on our postage stamps. All the despots and dictators of history agree with you, though: freedom is indeed a dangerous thing:

“This year will go down in history: for the first time a civilized nation has full firearms registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.”

-Adolph Hitler, 1935

As long as we have an open border i don’t think we’ll be safer without them. Guns are our last defense in the case of invasion or if the government becomes tyrannical. Guns make the people the 4th branch of government.

A right to bear arms is guaranteed to ALL citizens under the constitution. While this right may seem rather unnecessary, citizens maintaining fire-arms is one of the best ways to prevent a government from holding too much control over its citizens. And criminals will always have guns, so it won’t fix that either.

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT !!! Guns keep peace from evil dictators, people can rise up and take the power back. Or would you want to surrender to someone like Hitler or Hugo or Saddam. It would not be safer. You are the coward.
