Gun control

"Generally speaking, gun control is recognized as the effort to restrict or limit the production, shipment and ownership of certain guns. Over time, the issue of gun ownership has become a staple of controversy and one of the most hotly contested social issues facing Americans. More often than not, where one falls on gun control depends largely on their political affiliation, their moral standards and their past experiences with firearms. According to some estimates, approximately 80 million homes in the U.S. own 223 million guns. As is the case with most issues, gun control comes with a list of pros and cons. The people who staunchly support gun control believe their argument would protect society and save lives, while those opposing gun control believe the opposite. Potential for more crime " It"s long been suggested that having a gun allows would-be victims to protect themselves against crimes. Proponents of gun control often point to crime statistics as a sign that gun control would be a positive for society. However, people against gun control firmly believe that by having a gun, people could prevent many of those crimes from happening in the first place. Second amendment " The second amendment from The Bill of Rights grants private citizens the right to bear arms. Thus, people who stand firmly against gun control insist that no legislation, technically, should have the right to take away a citizen's guns without first repealing the amendment in question. Bad history " History appears to support the pro-gun crowd. Throughout various political regimes, the one constant of a tyrannical government has been the disarming of citizens. Thomas Jefferson once famously said: "No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny in government." The government has no right taking our rights away. My evidence of other countries with gun bans, I'm from Russia, i have experienced it, i have seen so many innocent people being killed and they can;t do anything about it."http://www.opposingviews.com...You see that text?

Though I will still respond to the first part of your argument. "[1]Well to answer the question of proof that every store that gets .22 ammunition is sold within an hour, is that i have experience, i have went on every box store and little owned gun stores and gun shows and rarely do you find .22 ammunition. people walk out of store wit thousands of rounds and if you are not the first 10 people at the door before opening your in bad luck. Here are some more of my back ups. [2] I also own a gun so does my whole family, sorry to say but you cant expect to live for a while one day you will get robbed and shot. You have a less chance surviving without a gun than with. Criminals are not normal in their head that's why they are criminals. [3] I had a best friend once that said she will never get shot and she didn't own a gun, well about a week later i found out that her whole family including her was shot by a criminal, and the police couldn't get there in time."1. It is physically impossible for you to have been inside every single gun store in the U.S. within one hour of them restocking .22 ammunition.2. Again, I have living family members who have never touched a gun in their lives, and are still here. There is no way that 100% of people without guns would be killed, otherwise the NRA would have no competition. 3. That's terrible!
