because they kill people.

while we're at it...
Let's ban cars since they kill more than guns.
Let's ban obesity since it kills more than guns.
Let's ban doctors since they kill more than guns.
Let's ban smoking since it kills more than guns.
Let's ban alcohol since it kills more than guns.
Let's ban toxic agents since they kill more than guns. (sad actually)

(Also deaths due to sexual behaviors comes very close to that of guns)

So? Still, the precaution will maybe help some. Plus, it would cost nothing, and wouldn't be negative, so why not?

Who are you responding to? I'm just talking about violent people and crazy people not being allowed to get guns.

since 1980 no permitted gun holder has shot any officer in florida - nothing against the law

sure there are always accidents, but thats with every thing in life

there is already a test and if your a felon your not allowed to get a permit for a gun

what! :P

There is absolutely no need to ban guns, there are so many other things that kill more than guns, besides, I think that I should be able to carry a gun and protect myself. Now, don't get me wrong, there is absolutely no need for somebody to have an assault rifle or a high- powered sniper rifle, but We should be able to carry small arms, like a hand pistol.

This subject is quite touchy, both sides have good arguments. I myself lean slightly towards the "no guns" side, but I consider myself overall neutral. So I have really nothing to say other than that this debate has and will continue to go on for a long time.

Here's the process that goes on with a gun ban:

Somebody gets shot.
There's an uproar about banning guns.
All guns with banned.
Criminals get guns illegally.
They are more brazen in their crimes now that they know that no regular citizen will defend themselves with a gun.
Gun crimes go UP.

Actully, handguns kill more than assault rifles or HP sniper rifles combines. In a city setting, neither are quite fesible or practical.

Illegal guns are often expensive and hard to come buy. Limiting access to guns would lower the amount of criminals carrying guns. A criminal will not commit more or less crimes depending on the civilian population's access to guns, but rather their own.

''The level of gun ownership worldwide is directly related to murder and suicide rates and specifically to the level of death by gunfire''

Don't ban guns. People who need it for self-defence can buy it. If somebody wants a gun for bad reason, he/she will get one illegally.

You know what, to tell you the truth, I think I'd rather get killed by a gun then a knife or bat. And criminals always get guns one way or another.

And even if we successfully banned all guns, criminals would just rob people with knives, swords, bats, etc.

And those are quite a bit more painful. Although I don't get the swords :/.
