Why do you americans have such faggoty gun laws?

[Adam]

How? Point is just because I think the govt shouldn't dictate what people do doesnt mean I think people should be able to do anything and everything they want.

If it doesn't hurt anyone else, then yes they should.

Guns are designed for that purpose

Owning a gun is morally different than using a gun.

In most self defense cases in the US, the gun is never fired. The mere presence of a gun deters crime.

OK, everyone can have guns... no bullets though , coz you're not gonna use it

Now we're just back to talk of knives and such. Meh.

[Adam]

Sole purpose of knives is to kill?

Here in England we mostly use them for cutting up food

Guns can be used to feed your family too.

What I'd like to know is, what about all these school shootings. It's not criminals who would have guns anyway even if they were illegal that are doing it. It's kids who are using guns because they are so easy to get hold of.
Is that alone not a good enough reason to stop everyone owning guns?

I don't think I'd feed my kids their dinner off a pistol

No.

No, to cut. I'm not saying guns are great, or proper in every hand, but neither are knives or cars with babies on the freeway for that matter. I don't even own one, but it's my liberty to have one if I wish. Like I said, I know others don't understand and don't expect them to, you most likely shouldn't expect it either.

[Adam]

Knives and cars all serve an obvious (non-violent ) purpose. Guns don;t. If guns were used as inhalers for athsmatic people, cool. But they're not. They're used TO shoot people

And why do school shootings not provide a good enough reason to end your ridiculous gun laws? Kids killing each other sure seems like something I'd wanna stop if it was goign on like that in my countrty

[Osensitive1]

Impeding on the civil liberties of every law abiding citizen because of a criminals? No.

[Adam]

So why do so many Americans who support owning guns want to impede the civil rights of other people when it comes to abortion and gay marriage?

[Osensitive1]

I don't know, I'm not one of them. Though you'd make a fine democrat.
