i feel that people shouldnt be allowed to have guns in their homes because if they have a gun in their homes their children can get it and cause harm to someone else. if they have teenagers in their homes they can get the gun and cause alot of violence with it like robbing stores taking it to schools or robbing banks so i feel that all gun should be banned and if there is some kind of violence it shouldnt be handled with guns and people should find other ways to deal with their problems
What if something happend in the U. S. like invasion from a foreign country? then what? with out guns americans won't be able to pretect them selves.
i feel that the subject of having guns in our homes is very debatable. But i also feel that it is important to have some type of protection in our homes. We need to realize that just because we have children in our homes does not mean that they are going to find them and shoot someone, and our teenagers yes there has been issues with violence and school shootings but maybe if parents would notice problems before they get out of hand that would no longer be a threat or problem .... no i dont think your way of thinking is wrong i just think you should view all of the sides first before you make your decisions........
Yes you have a point, but parents/gun owners can buy child locks and put them on their guns to prevent anything like that from happening. Yes once they get oder they're going to know how to remove them, but they if you can buy a gun safe. Put your guns in there and then you have nothing to worry about. There are so many things you can do to prevent that from happening. Otherwise if you can't afford a gun safe and you have teenagers and feel you can't trust them with guns in the house then yes, get rid of your guns.
for on, guns are required to be in a safe or a lock box. two, you are saying that all children and teenagers are naturally violent and that they all want to steal our guns and use them to hold up liquore stores. the american people have that right to defend theur homes from forein and domestic dangers. for example - a drunk bum breaks into my home with a weapon (a knife, bat, club, broken bottle, all just as dangerous and violent as a gun) this man has intent to steal and harm my family and I. Do i not have the right to stop this man by any means necessary? try explaining to a drunk bum that its not ok for him to attack your family with a lethal weapon and see how that works...
