    My idea of gun control is:

    You control your gun, I'll control mine. KThnxBye.

    Going Hunting is not Wrong, Netheir is going Trap Shooting or anything else,my god. It is quite fun sitting at a Window, waiting for a Rabbit/Grondhog to come out so you can shoot it dead with a .22 with a scope on it, like myself..

    You do not see anything wrong in sitting at a window and killing rabbits/groundhogs just for the fun of it?

    You see, that's the kind of irresponsible behaviour that gets gun owners and hunters a bad name.

    Really, what on earth do you get out of that?

    um no. have a nice garden every year at my grandpartents. Usally my Grandfather killed them, becauses we usally didn't put up a fence. But since he lost most of his eyesight, and since they,the animals, kept trying to get under the fence this year, and 1 did, I kill them.
    That's isn't irreponsilbe, it's called being helpful. What to disagree? Then whatever.



    And Mith, Yes. a 14 year old can go hunting, but have to take a Hunting class first.it is required in my state.

    Iraq has very relaxed gun law enforcement. I hear it's helped the security situation there a lot...

    And banning guns would do what? Somehow magically stop the insurgents from shooting at people? Somehow by banning the ownership of guns would prevent the unrest? Come on.

    Guns do not kill people, guns do not injure people, guns don't even scare people. People kill people, people injure people, the gun is just a tool, just look at the UK. After implimenting strict gun legislation there was and is a massive jump in criminals using knifes to kill with.

    There is absolutely no reason why you should need to ban guns. It wont prevent crimes it wont prevent deaths. If you wanted to help prevent accidents you'd support gun education.

    It's not wether they should ban guns but. Why should they ban guns?

    Iraq is actually illustrating one of the points cited in favour of gun ownership: it makes it nigh impossible for a foreign power to occupy the country.

    Well admittedly now, but assuming no one had had guns in the first place, I doubt there'd be any sort of killings on the same level. Be a lot easier to impose some sort of law and order too.

    Not sure Iraq really shows any good points. Might be nigh on impossible to occupy the country, but that hasn't really helped the population at large has it?

    You're 14 right ?

    14 year olds are allowed to own guns and go hunting ?

    I'm not quite sure on gun owning laws, though I believe kids can own guns, but can't buy them. And I don't of any age limit on hunting, though I'd imagine in most states it depends on what's being hunted, and the age minimum may be from 6-12. As it is, kids suffer the least hunting accidents of any age groups. Despite this, anti-gun and anti-hunting groups are trying to scare people with crap like 'kids have high-powered sniper rifles!'.

    awww man, c'mon, it's fun!
    When I was a kid, like 20 something years ago, I used to tear flies' legs and/or wings, and then drown them and stuff... think about all the fun I could have had if I had had a gun, why, I could have sat at my window shooting puppies, and stray cats, and birds... fun, I tell you, fun!

    I don;t think hunting is wrong - as long as you eat watever you shoot, at least that way its not wasted
