Subject: Views on firearms? Tue Aug 02, 2011 7:27 pm
I recently had a discussion with my brother and dad about the possibilty of a zombie apocalypse. I asked my dad what our plan was. He said, " I dunno."
This worries me as I'm one of those people who thinks zombies are possible. So I'm considering buying a gun...just in case. But I'm thinking if this is right or not. Tons of people die because of firearms. Japan, which outlawed firearms(except for the police), has about 2-4 deaths a year from firearms. Compare that to America's. So what are your opinions on people owning firearms? Also please don't focus on my belief of zombies. This thread is about Gun Violence.

We need firearms. It was the second amendment for a reason. To protect ourselves from a corrupt government or terrorist attack. Government wants it taken away because when they turn the USA into a totalitarian system, they don't want armed slaves.

Lemme guess: you read the Cracked article about a zombie apocalypse.
But to make my post less troll-y: I support guns being legal. Self-defense is important.

Fucking yeah we need to own guns. Keep them in a safe place.
Like these to hide
It also makes it easy to get out.
Or we can try the big safe
Where you can have a combination to lock it and keep children away. Robbers won't be able to steal any. Also makes it easy to hide grenades. Another easy way to keep government officials away.
We must protect ourselves from danger at all costs. It was in the U.S. Constitution for a reason.

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people."
This quote may be overused, but it's still true. Guns should be legal provided the owner obtains a permit and experiences a thorough background check as well as a mental health evaluation. I also think you should be legally obligated to keep it locked away (I'm not sure if that's a law now or not) and if a child uses it and hurts themselves, the gun owner should be responsible.

Actually I was watching a documentary from NationalGeographic and what people think happens when you die. They were talking about bringing cells back to life and my dad said Zombies are going to take over since this was basically the plot for the first Resident Evil movie. I think.
Also I read that Cracked article a long time ago.

Back on the real topic... Firearm's will never go away, legal or otherwise. If firearms go illegal, there will be fucking riots.

In America firearms are legal because its witten in the constitution. Bear in mind when it was written the newly formed United States had just come out of war with Britain, the right to bear arms was so that the people could stand up to the government if they became corrupt or tyranical.
Unfortunately the laws didnt foresee that some maniacs would be able to purchase firearms no problem and go on a shooting rampage...bringing the right to bear arms into question with some people.
If firearms were made illegal in America there would be a gigantic ammount of protest...its one of the major rights in the constitution and it is there for valid reasons especially in this age where it seems that the US government does whatever the hell they want with little to no motives or evidence to support its action.
If they make firearms illegal whats to stop them making free speech illegal...then before you know it he "land of the free, home of the brave" will become the land of the enslaved, home of the downtrodden.

So having no guns = communism?

That's not how I took it, I think he was saying if they take that away, what's to stop them from taking freedom of speech away as well? It could turn in to one big cycle.
