U.S Citizens right to own a firearm debate

[Strike For The South]

Thanks for the link that proves my point about the world's highest rate of homicide committed by firearms is the USA's. Plus the gun violence in the USA page describes a lot of problems caused by the gun control (actually the lack of it), also proving my point.

There are plenty of other creative ways to defend yourself than to carry a deadly weapon with you day and night and keep it under your pillow while you sleep. I wouldn't find it safe to live in a country where 40% of the population feel it inevitable to own a gun not to "compromise one of their basic freedoms". But I understand that carrying guns is somehow hard-wired in the American psyche. Perhaps it has something to do with the frontier mentality.

No it doesn't!

I don't want creative. I want dead. In fact I never want to have to use a gun to defend myself. Hunt/sport are much better uses for a firearm

Simply because a man has a gun does not mean he is lacking manhood, besides that would really suck if you got killed by him while doing your cool creative karate moves!
