The Right to Bear Arms

Do you think people should have the right to bear arms even though there are new weapons and people aren’t just using them to protect themselves?

    I, personally, dont even trust the military with guns, let alone a bunch of NRA idiots. Now if everyone could have swords, mind you, that would be great. But not guns. Heh “Guns dont kill people, people kill people”, yah right, but the gun does help.

  2. Graehme said,

    I personaly don’t feel comfortable with the military and the police being the only ones with access to firearms. I smell conspiracy.

  3. york8 said,

    YES! Hooray for Graehme! Exactly. Of course the others people with guns are racist, anger, white, males. I smell co-operation!

    ~Marlowe

  4. york8 said,

    I think it was a good amendment when it was made but now people are taking advantage of it. If everyone had a gun this world would be a lot less safe. However if there weren’t any guns someone would come up with a more dangerous weapon.

    I think that people have the right to bear arms

  6. Barb said,

    Good point,holly. Though I am, TOTALLY, COMPELTLY, NOT IN ANY WAY, for hunting for sport, I understand that you would need a rifle or something for that. But c’mon…;.do we really need semi-automatic machine guns and stuff? NO. I agree with holly also about that someone will always find a loophole on what weaponary is allowed. And marlowe… why are swords better? Just because they’re so much cooler? (though they are) If you’re still using them to kill, then they’re still bad. Although having a sword for purely life or death is different, I dont know where you are going with that.

  7. duong said,

    No because what if the new weapons is storger then ever it will damge more things and kill more people. And the wrold will not be safe anymore. And if the police have new guns then what if some man kill the police and take guns and started kill everyone and that will have a big advantage of us.
    Duong

  8. John said,

    Oh my god Marlowe if the milatary didn’t have weapons you be ruled by NAZI’s you do understand that don’t you?? MY uncle is a NRA and he’s not an idoit and he was in the amry reserves and a cop my another uncle was a marine my grand uncles were in France sooo don’t call them idiots!!!!

  9. Elizabeth said,

    Marlowe, if people had swords then they would go around cutting people’s heads off instead of going around shooting them. and were you calling the military/police racist?

  10. John said,

    YA marlowe plaese explain what your trying to say

  11. John said,

    MARLOWE MY UNCLE IS NOT A RACIEST SO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS KINDA RACIEST(white,angry,males) THATS A TEASTLESS COMMENT

  12. Elizabeth said,

    you’re right john

  13. John said,

    how would swords be better??

  14. york8 said,

    Actually, I have swords, but I don’t run around slashing stuff with them. They’re just for display.

    -Tristan

  15. Emma said,

    Okay, swords, guns, who cares. They’re both weapons that can kill people. Oh yes yes, killing people seems funny when you talk about it in theory but when something actually happens it’s not funny at all. If we had no weapons to start with, it wouldn’t have been so bad that we need to pick and choose who gets what. We should think about the why we need weapons, not the who. Who’s fault is it that people have gotten so skrewed up we need to protect our selves from eachother? It’s sad.
    I don’t think every one should be able to own a gun, I don’t think any one should, because “oh i don’t like what you just did so I’m gunna kill you.” What’s the point?
    Weapons are stupid in general.

  16. york8 said,

    Yeah Marlowe I agree with you bugt you are kinda being racist yourself. HUNTING IS NOT FOR SPORT. That should be illegal. IF you just want to shoot a deer to shoot a dear that’s murder. Would you wnat some one to come and shoot you for hte fun of it??

    People should have guns–the world is dangerous enough.
    Andrew

  17. John said,

    Andrew slow down and re read your work.

  18. york8 said,

    “Oh my god Marlowe if the milatary didn’t have weapons you be ruled by NAZI’s you do understand that don’t you?? MY uncle is a NRA and he’s not an idoit and he was in the amry reserves and a cop my another uncle was a marine my grand uncles were in France sooo don’t call them idiots!!!!”

    NAZIs! By god! Where!? And how does being able to shoot beople prove their intelligence?

  19. Jordan said,

    I don’t think that anyone who wants a gun should be able to get one. The only way a civilian should have a gun is if they have a hunting license. Also to get a hunting license I think you should have to go through a gun class. You shouldn’t just be able to go out and buy a hunting license. Another thing is I do think the military and police should have guns. They are the ones protecting us.
    Marlowe I think you went too far by saying that NRA people are idiots and also way way too far by saying:
    “Of course the others people with guns are racist, anger, white, males”
    Just because someone has a gun doesn’t mean there racist, white, and males. By saying that Marlowe you seem kind of racist and sexist.

  20. Emma said,

    Yet again, who’s fault is it that we are such cruel idiots that we even need a stupid military?

    We’re only protecting ourselves from… ourselves.

    Who’s fault is it that we pissed off the other countries so they want to attack us??

    We shouldn’t need guns. We should have to suffer the conciquences that we have brought upon ourselves.

  21. york8 said,

    Well than thats the way it seems. I wonder…how many woman and people of race are in the NRA. Just look it up. Who knows! I might be just a babbling idiot.

    Hunting is wrong. Killing for pleasure is sick, and is a totally inhuman act.
    I’m all for free-range, natural death meat, for food, but just killing for the fun of it. Wrong. Dead wrong.

    ~Marlowe

  22. Emma said,

    Just another thing. Have you guys heard of the Columbine massacre? If you haven’t I’ll give a quick reveiw:
    Two kids came into their highschool of Ohio and killed 12 students, wounded 24, and then killed themselves.

    Know what happened next? The NRA came and gave a presentation on their guns, premoting them, right in that town! How do you think the people felt after their children had been killed or wounded?

  23. Max said,

    I agree with Jordan on what he said about Marlowe but
    the only way you can go hunting in the woods and carry a rifle by yourself is
    by completing a hunters safety course and passing. Because I did it myself
    to go hunting, you can not just buy a licence.

  24. Andrew said,

    I knew a girl who got killed at the columbine massacre. She actualkly was standing up for her beliefs. She was asked if she believed in God nad she said yes and was shot.

    Anndrew

  25. york8 said,

    …Thats very sobering. My condolences.

    ~Marlowe

  26. John said,

    Marlowe I wasn’t trying to prove there itelligence but what you said is there all idiots witch is wrong.Dead wrong. Have you meet them yet?? You should never judge anyone!

  27. Angela said,

    I think the people have right to bear arm , its there life if they want a gun then they should have one. If people want a gun in the life to make it safe or unsafe its there choice to have a gun.

  28. Myles said,

    I believe people should have the right to bear arms in order to protect themselves. Also I somewhat agree with Marlowe a bit up there. Killing for pleasure is sick and twisted, but if you hunt for food… yeah, I think you get my meaning.

  29. Elizabeth said,

    Face it bad guys are going to get there hands on weapons even if they are banned. So I think that people should have weapons to defend themselves.

  30. Ezra said,

    The right to bear arms is not for random people, what the rule is actually saying is that we have the right to arm a state militia. People don’t usually get that but that’s what it means. The government wants you to feel safe and that your state could protect itself from the government incase it went crazy.

  31. Emma said,

    First of all, we can’t even trust our own police any how, so how is trusting them with guns helping??

    Police are even worse because they have athority. No one should have weapons, they’re a stupid idea.

  32. John said,

    Yes but people need to protect our selves from crimnals

  33. Emma said,

    But WE are the criminals. Why is it necissary to protect ourselves from each other!? And I don’t think you get it, some police are even worse than the criminals, YET THEY DON’T GET IN TROUBLE.

  34. John said,

    Yes I know but there are messed up people

  35. Elizabeth said,

    We are not all criminals Emma

  36. Barb said,

    touche, John. Don’t you think that we should be helping the people that are messed up instead of getting all defensive????

  37. Barb said,

    I mean, like with guns. How will that help without hurting someone?

  38. John said,

    No thats not what I ment by people messed up bye killing people and mugging

  39. Elizabeth said,

    Barbara how would we help them?

  40. Elizabeth said,

    there are way to many that are messed up… and sitting down and talking to them most likely would not work

  41. John said,

    yes I agree

  42. luke b said,

    then what would work barb?

  43. Matt said,

    Higher levels of authority should be allowed to use guns (with the exception of Dick Cheney), but everyday people do not need something so powerful. A blast to the face with pepper spray, or a shock from a taser could be quite disabling also. I’m pretty sure more accidental deaths are caused by guns than pepper spray.

  44. york8 said,

    Non-leathl force is better.

    ~Marlowe

  45. Travis said,

    There is no reason why people shoudn’t carry weapons for their protection if someone wants to use them to say, rob a bank thats their problem not the governments

  46. Travis said,

    If it was the Gov. fault then the country would go to hell.

  47. york8 said,

    Unless peole are killed, than thats very much the governments problem.

    ~Marlowe

  48. John said,

    NO! Thats the pycho with the guns or other weapons fault

  49. york8 said,

    ..Who could be controlled by the government. If there are no guns, there are no deaths. The govenment could prevent thousands of robberies, murders, and kidnappings.

    ~Marlowe

  50. John said,

    No theres still other weapons out there not just guns.

  51. york8 said,

    Like swichblads, and explosives, all which could be controlled.

    ~Marlowe

  52. Thao said,

    I think that we should have the right to bear arms because I think that if we have guns to protect our house when a robbery or a kid napper try to break into our house . But Sometimes I think that we should not have the right to bear arm because sometimes they buy guns to kill people or animals .

    That what I think…..!

  53. John said,

    Not really no matter what happens to weapons there will still guns,knifes,and bombs

  54. Travis said,

    True but people choose how to use them not the Gov. unless it concerns peoples lives at stake

  55. luke b said,

    because if talking can’t work then we need to confine them and how would we do that?

  56. pete says said,

    I think that all people have a right to bear arms, but there should be a limit to what kind of weapon you have. For instance if a robber breaks into you house you don’t need a rocket launcher or a grenade you just need something to scare the robber away. Well, not all people should be able to own a weapon. For instance you shouldn’t sell a gun to a man with a criminal record just in case the man plans on blowing a house up after he robbes it. I also think that an alcholic shouldn’t be able to own a gun just in case that man feels like drinking then feels like going out with his new gun and show it to a bunch of people.Thats what I think.

  57. Sheldon said,

    Awesome!

  58. Myles said,

    I know I’m bringing this up from way up there, but how could you think of a conspiracy?

  59. Billy said,

    A well-regulated miltia,being necessary to security of a free state,the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

  60. Sheldon said,

    DID YOU GET THAT FROM THE “BILL OF RIGHTS”? THE RIGHT THAT STATES THAT IT IS LEGAL TO HAVE A WEAPON.

  61. Malinka said,

    I completely agree with Emma on all of her comments. The right to bear arms has turned into a very undefined issue. When the amendments were written im pretty sure no one pictured high school students getting shot and wounded by their peers. There is no reason for the average American to be walking around town with a Magnum in there jacket pocket. If it was alot harder for people to get guns I’m sure there would be alot less stories of people getting shot because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course there will always be people who find ways to get guns even if its illegal but if someone like that wants to shoot you I highly doubt that you will have time to pull out your gun and shoot them first. So whats the point of every family owning their own gun?? Some of you have said robbery. Give them the money and call the police. We act as though the police dont exist. The only ones we’re protecting ourselves from are each other. Have we really sunk that low?? It’s terrible that we feel the need to have such powerful protection to feel safe. Yeah Sheldon, what Billy said is the whole second amendment and the only one that says anything about the right to bear arms.

  62. Sheldon said,

    Good example!

  63. Sheldon said,

    Great example!

  64. Franciska said,

    I agree with Jordon.
    Anyone who wants one shouldn’t just get one.They should have a hunting license. or something.

  65. MICHAEL said,

    I think that we should be able to bear-arms to a point, like you should not have assult rifles or machine guns.
    I think that it should be limited to pistols and shotguns.

  66. Kyle said,

    I agree with Michael. Nobody is going to take a machine gun and go squirrel hunting, dispite how fun it sounds.

    If it was the Gov. fault then the country would go to hell.

    If it’s not the govornments fault, then whos fault is it??

    Criminals come to be because we don’t have equal rights or recources. People steal and mug because they don’t have enough food or money. People who kill have probably been skrewed over to begin with.

    Who’s fault is that??

    Meh.

  68. york8 said,

    “If it’s not the govornments fault, then whos fault is it??”
    The idiots who want everyone to have an AK-47, thats who.

    ~Marlowe

  69. Emma said,

    And… who is allowing them to premote violance, Marlowe??

    keh.

  70. york8 said,

    The Government…Wait its an NRA and Government consipiacy! Aha! Checkmate Georgy-boy.

    ~Marlowe

  71. Travis said,

    It’s the peole who have the gguns fault Emma

  72. Travis said,

    I agree

  73. york8 said,

    I just said that Travis….

    ~Marlowe

  74. Travis said,

    sorry

  75. Travis said,

    BUT IT”S TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. Emma said,

    IT’S EVEYONES FAULT. The govornments for allowing it, the NRA for doing it, the people for buying it.

    GAAAHHHH WE’RE ALL CRAAZY!

  77. patrick said,

    yes marlow that would solve everyones problems if we all had swords It would be just great if everyone went out and bought a kathana briliant idea

  78. Caitlin said,

    I am against the Right to Own a Gun because the Right to Not Be Shot At and Killed Because Some Dingbat Has A Semi-Automatic is more important to me.

  79. Dani said,

    if we all had swords them we’d be all

    STABBY RIP STABBITY STAB STAB STAB

    and thats not fun =[

    amen caitlin

    gah

  80. Sheldon said,

    What the?

  81. Barb said,

    Patrick has a super important point there, guys. It shouldn’t matter what weapon it is, if you don’t want them to bear arms, then why should it matter if its a gun or not? Caitlin, that was awesome, too.

  82. york8 said,

    I see what you mean, Barbara, but I’d hate it if some government guy came to my house and took my swords away. I bought them fair and square, so they’re mine.

    -Tristan

  83. Marlowe said,

    Lets just shut down the NRA, keep our military occupied, give the cops non-leathal weapons, and make possession of a weapon life in jail, and send the crazy homocidals to jail.

  84. john said,

    they do have non-leathel weapons marlowe but when theres a phyco with a gun a tazer isn’t going to help much. Even a sword is a weapon a butter knife is a weapon to. So your saying send everyone to prison for life.

  85. Barb said,

    I understand that you bought your sword Tris, but I was making more of a point to Marlowe about how ridiculous it sounds to favor a weapon, when you’re against other weapons. It’s very contradictory.

  86. Emma said,

    I agree with Marlowe, we shouldn’t need wepons to solve our probloms, here.

  87. Tyler K said,

    I think that we should be able to bear arms for defense purposes only.

  88. Graehme said,

    I think that we should all have the right to bear arms, because if we make it illegal to own guns, the only people who will really be affected will be civilians. The criminals will still get guns, they will still kill people with them, the only difference will be that the common man won’t be able to protect himself. I agree with Tyler.

  89. Travis said,

    Exactly what I was trying to say!

  90. Andrew said,

    Ok, im goig to put something about the cookie jar in here so we can see what gun violence is doing to our country.

    I think that everybody is responsible for gun violence in our society. I think this because no matter what somebody says anyone can have a finer pointed at them. The government is supporting war. The people who create video games use guns. The news is showing me this. People are promoting this. Well if the people hadn’t made this gun it wouldn’t have happened and so on and so forth. Our society is a big Cookie Jar game.
    I’m not sure there is much we can do to correct this problem. It would take a lot of cooperation from a lot of people. It would be very difficult to get the President to end to take the troops out of Iraq. The directors and video game creators’ wouldn’t just stop putting guns and violence into their movies and games. I just think it would be too difficult to correct this problem.

  91. casey said,

    For the most part i agree Andrew but do you know what i world would be like today and how much less equality and saftey we would have if everyone belived the problems “would be too difficult to correct”?

    I’m sure you didnt mean it that way but your just as bad as them if you do nothing to stop gun violence and don’t take any accountability.

  92. dani said,

    i think that no matter what, were always gonna find a way to kill each other weather its with a sword, a gun or even a taΩzer.

  93. Malone said,

    dani is 100% correct plus if we take away gus people are still gona die any way its not like the death toll will mriacoulously stop people have been killing people since the dawn of man they faught for territory, women, and food why do think that is going to stop now ?

    I’m sure you didnt mean it that way but your just as bad as them if you do nothing to stop gun violence and don’t take any accountability.

    You are right Casey, i didn’t mean it like that. I’m just saying that this is a hard problem to correct-I want to help correct it but it is a very difficult thing to do.

  95. Whabi said,

    I think that we shoudn’t have guns. Guns should only be used for hunting and important stuff.

  96. dani said,

    but whabi what are guns important for?

    true story:
    man and woman go out to buy the womans mom a gift for mothers day. they are in a dar and a black man with a gun comes up and threatens them and wants their money, valubles=ect. they only have 5 dollars and the girt they got the mom and begg for their lifes and then he kills them anyways, for 5 effing dollars.

  97. Emma said,

    No one should have weapons. If we’re going to do any fighting it should be through strength and intelligence, not by who can blow more people up at one time. By doing this we are showing each other that we need bombs to prove we are the greatest. I’d like to see our government have explanations to other countries for all the things they are doing, and why we have to most deaths from weapons in the world. What’s up with that?

    Oops, you’re dead.

  98. york8 said,

    All it takes is sin. Greed, lust, envy, hate(wrath), pride, gluttony(related to greed), or sloth(lazyness) to get the nerve to kill.

    marlowe….

    ?

    gah

  100. Andrew said,

    very true very true

  101. Andrew said,

    marlowe why do you think the sowrd was invented I’m pretty sure it was invented to kill people

  102. patrick said,

    marlowe why do you think the sowrd was invented I’m pretty sure it was invented to kill people

  103. malone said,

    marlow it takes more that the 7 deadly sins to commit murder it take a lot more

  104. Aknot said,

    No think about what Marlowe has said Malone. He is not saying it takes “all” of those sins to murder… just one of them or a combo of them…

    Well maybe not gluttony….Well maybe if you took my last French Fry… (I kid)

  105. dani said,

    heh thats a good one!

  106. Andrew said,

    marlowe why do you think the sowrd was invented I’m pretty sure it was invented to kill people

    It says i said it—-but i didn’t

  107. dani said,

    yes andrew patrick conformed that…….

  108. dani said,

    ok well like i said earlier we will always thinkl of ways to kill people but by eliminating the use of dirty guns we will help stop gun violence

  109. Travis said,

    The only peoople guns should be available to is thee law

  110. maxb said,

    what I don’t get your comment Travis

    Travis said,

    November 3, 2006 at 1:14 pm

    The only peoople guns should be available to is thee law

  111. amin said,

    Travis,
    what do you mean when you say that the only people guns should be available to is thee law?

  112. dani said,

    max he means the only people who should be able to use guns is the law people but they would just be like blam blam blam

    oops……..

  113. amin said,

    I Think that all the people have the right to bear arm, but there there should be a limit of what kind of guns we should have. If we have guns that can kill 50 people in 10 seconds. we should not have that kid of guns because the killers will by that gun then kill few hundands in few seconds.

  114. Barb said,

    yeah it’s like, whoops, boom! And there goes a giant group of people.

  115. Jordan said,

    I think that all guns should be illegal. An argument some people have for guns are they need them for protection. Now, who are you protecting yourself from?????
    Oh!!!!! Your protecting yourself from other people with guns. Well, you know an easy solution for that problem illegalize all guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  117. $~*NiMO*~$ said,

    I think that guns should be illegal!! Because if we didn’t have guns around we wouldn’t have all these people dying and getting injured from gun violence. We really don’t need guns to protect ourselves nowadays anyway…… we have the police for that. And if guns were not easy to get…. then how can criminals get their hands on guns? If guns don’t become illegal then we should atleast minimize the amount of people who can get them. I f only a minimum amount of people could get their hands on guns then we wouldn’t have gun violence problems. It’s really not good to keep guns at home because every 30 second a teen or child gets injured from some form gun violence in the world……. now ask yourself…. is that a good statistic to have?

    **Thats my point of view.

    PeAcE!! :-)

  118. Sheldon said,

    Nimo! On the Capital Puntishment page the Blog Team said to put NO MORE COMMENTS because the page was broken and what do you do? Not only put a comment on their but it was a long one too! So next time, pay attention!
    P.S. Great comments on both of these!_!

  119. Sheldon said,

    OOP’S!! SOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOO SORRY!
    I ment to yell at Nimo in the Capital Punishment Page and say in The Right To Bear Arms that the Blog Team said NO MORE COMMENTS! And I know that I shouldn’t be putting tis stuff down now, so i’am so sorry!

  121. Graehme said,

    I think everyone should have the right to bear arms, and I think everyone should have the right to a state militia like Ezra said. I AM NOT PRO GUN, but I also don’t trust the government, the FBI, the CIA, or the military, but I don’t think people need automatic weapons, that’s overkill.

  122. John said,

    Graehme why don’t you trust the people portecting us? Would you rather have all the anti-americans with guns and us with nothing?

  123. Barb said,

    Well, its not like police officers or govs arent human! Who know… its not like conspiricies havent happened.

  124. theo said,

    People have to realize when the right to bear arms was created and think about the time people were in. People back then, had no way to protect themselves in war so if you were born in those times you would not argue with the right. If this right was taken out there would be less crimes with guns and the only people that would have are the police and military.

  125. dani said,

    but grahme why dont you trust them?
    i mean im not progun either, and i really dont care for or feel that safe with the goverment but i tihnk that to a certain extent we need guns and i tihnk that we really dont need to be using them as much as we do
    i tihnk that todays world is teaching us all children and adults that its ok to be all gun crazy
    i mean seriuously look at these video games:
    Grant Theft Auto
    Kill Zone

    and others but i cant think of any now and im too lazy to search for any
