"What are the best arguments for/against gun-control ? When I asked this question at http : //p078.ezboard.com/bguncontrol4778 people there seemed to think that gun-control was a good idea . Bush and Kerry both seemed to favor gun-control in the debate , but Kerry seems to believe more strongly in it ."
"30 million Russian citizens killed . 5-12 million German citizens ( depending on the source you read ) along with 6 million Jewish people killed . An estimated 100 million Chinese citizens killed . 20 million Africans killed in various countries in Africa . 2 million Cambodians slaughtered . This is just the first 5 off the top of my head that occured in the world during the 20th Century . All occured after sweeping gun control took place and forced disarmament of citizens . In America , every state that has enacted restrictive gun control has seen an increase in crime , police brutality , questionable law enforcement practices such as violations of 4th amendment rights and so on . Washington DC enacted a total handgun ban in 1976 , if you look at the crime rate reports from the years before and the years after that took effect , the truth is very telling . In Britain and Australia , both nations enacted sweeping gun bans and forced confiscation . The crime rates of both nations has skyrocketed . Violent crime has especially increased in both countries as criminals realize they have little to fear from their victims now . Reports of police brutality in both nations is on the rise . A consequence of the gun ban in Britain is the repeal of their guarantee of a quick and fair trial . This bit of legislation basically allows a suspect to be held indefinitely without a trial or even being notified of the crimes he or she is accused of . For a very telling reason against gun control , I recommend you watch the UN Gun Debate between Rebecca Peters and Wayne LaPierre . Then , examine the international poll results online from the debate . Gun control kills . History has proven this over and over again . I know that some gun control advocates have the best of intentions at heart but what they fail to realize is that by opening that door , they allow those with less than the best intentions to take advantage of the situation . This is exactly what Hitler did in 1938 . He took advantage of the 1935 gun control act of Germany . He used it to find his enemies and eliminate them . Is over 150 million victims of gun control reason enough for you ? It is for me . Mike"
