Gun Laws should be Stricter

It's much harder to make a firearm. You can grow marijuana and make moonshine from what's natural in the earth. Not with firearms. You must admit, if marijuana were legal, more people would be doing it. The fact that you claim that making a firearm is any harder then making moonshine is a bit of an uneducated statement. The operation of distilling whiskey requires thousands of dollars in equipment as does gunmaking. You can cut costs in gunsmithing similar to the way you can in distilling. It is all doable I make guns in my garage with nothing more then a cnc machine and woodworking tools. Also before it became possibly to legally obtain cannabis for medical and recreational use up to 70 percent of it was imported from other countries. So all you would accomplish is take guns away from law abiding citizens and put more money in the cartels pocket. Also has to the difficulty of building guns in your own home look at the french resistance during world war 2. They managed to build makeshift guns under a regime much more difficult then the one you propose. They were also very succesful with them against a professional army. Let's draw a parallel between gun laws and sexual assault. You don't agree wtih my comparison of a hammer to a gun yet your stating that a gun should be banned because it is similar to sexual assault? Yes we should have laws against sexual assault yes we should have laws against murder but a law against the tool? If guns and sexual assault are the same thing should we ban ducktape since it is many of the possible tools used for sexual assault similar to how guns are one of the possible tools for murder? Gun control has been shown to work. This arguement is invalid for the simple reason that there are to many variables aside from gun control from country to country. Yes it may have worked in Australia but if failed in Washington D.C. if you just want to debate by throwing up poor country examples of an invalid arguement this debate isn't going anywhere. Gun death rate Japan 0.07 /100,000 United Kingdom 0.25 /100,000 Germany 1.10 /100,000 Australia 1.05 /100,000 Israel 1.86 /100,000 United States 10.2 /100,000 [3] As stated above a list of countries as different in their culture as they are in their gun laws is not an arguement at all. Anyone with any credibility knows they must pinpoint their findings in a controlled environment for them to have any grounds in an intelligent debate. Arguements Now that I have found out what laws you wish to impose and the country you want to impose them in I will now bring up the second amendment. It clearly protects "the right of the people to bear arms". America was founded by a bunch of terrorist armed radicals revolting against a government they thought was wrong. You may claim that the founding fathers did not realize the degree that weapons would evolve. However they made provisions within the constituion to add and change amendments. I personally believe that the founding fathers would stand by said right today. They were raised in a different way surrounded by guys similar to me. I am just a good ole boy who enjoys shooting assault rifles and hunting coyotes in my free time is it really anyones right to piss on what the founding fathers were nice enough to protect for me? The United States was built on freedom and this is one of the freedoms that the founding fathers thought important enough to protect and if we are to restrict gun laws this won't be the america we grew up in it won't be the america the revolutionary war was fought for. By changing ones right to own guns you would be changing a fundemental right htat this country was built on.
