Gun Control

Mob- a large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence. This is not what I believe in regarding the second amendment. I want to keep my guns exactly the way they are now, not inflict violence on other innocent people. You said that the misinterpretation of the second amendment is, "A well regulated mob, being necessary to the security of a free people, the right of the people to keep and bear any arms at all, shall never be denied." Some of what you wrote is the same as what the actual amendment said. What's the difference between keeping and bearing arms, and keeping and bearing arms at all? http://dictionary.reference.com... "It is an absolute truism that law-abiding, armed citizens pose no threat to other law-abiding citizens." [2] I do not fully think that, but there is truism to it. Law abiding means that a citizen obeys the law and if they do not, they are no longer law abiding. Much more often then not, law abiding citizens pose no lethal threat to eachother. "Not all Americans are law-abiding." Okay, so you want to enforce gun control on every citizen just to prevent the vast minority from committing crimes? "May I ask, why do Conservatives always bring up that gun control is taking away guns from law-abiding citizens but not criminals?" I'm glad you asked. It's because gun control takes away guns from law abiding citizens and criminals. However, criminals will find a way to get guns anyway. Such as buying off of the black market. Russia has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world. The black market sales in Russia constantly consist of AK-47s. http://en.ria.ru... Background checks would defineitly increase sales of guns on the black market. If a person with a criminal record is rejected from buying a gun legally, he will go and buy guns off the black market. Limited Ammunition would not solve anything either. Criminals can still kill people with shotguns, pistols and basic rifles. As for regulation of gun production, there are already so many guns available that criminals can easily obtain. These three methods of gun control that you mentioned only interfere with a law-abiding citizen's gun rights. I don't need a source to back up this information. This is logic. Germany is actually a country with significant gun ownership. Hunting is very popular in Germany, so citizens manage to obtain guns. Germany is a great example of a European country that uses guns legally and responsibly. Some others are France, Finland, and Norway. Luxembourg has totally banned guns for their citizens and their murder rate is nine times higher than that of Germany. Like I mentioned earlier, Russia is a country with some of the strictest gun control laws in the world. Their murder rate is four times higher than that of the United States. http://bearingarms.com... As for how gun control would have a direct impact on the economy, I believe I have explained this in my previous argument. Obviously, you're not satisfied yet. During the recent recession, the gun industry created 37,000 new jobs with an average salary of $47,000 a year.

Being that in most states there is almost no form of gun control, you must convince me to want gun control. I personally own and use firearms, and for the most part, I am backed up by the second amendment to keep my guns. It is going to take a lot to convince me to have to go through background checks and limit my magazine size. Quite frankly, I'm not even close to being convinced.
