schoollord, sterotypes and generalizations are all you really have.
Your argument is based on nothing but emotion and irrational bigotry.

"We have the right to live...."

There is no right to live if you aren''t allowed to have the ability to defend that life from homicidal maniacs. It''s a lot easier to blame guns rather than blame the people who use them illegally and finding out why there are so many who do.

Why must gun hating extremists always rely on stereotypes and generalizations?
Very typical.

Like I said before,
You can hate guns and blame guns all you want. It will never change the fact that millions of Americans can and do responsibly own and use guns for hunting, collecting, target practice, and their own personal defense. Nothing will ever change this fact and the second amendment is just as important as any other part of the Bill Of Rights. If the government can ignore any one of the 10 amendments in the Bill Of Rights, then it can and will ignore them all.
If you ignore your rights they will go away.

schooltard talks about me living in a fantasy world. That''s very funny!
Criminals prefer defenseless victims.
They always have and they always will.

schoollord,
Guns are only as bad and murderous as the person who''s holding one.
Just like a car.
I could take an "assault SUV" and mow down dozens of people with it if I was homicidal and crazy enough.
Would anyone be blaming the SUV?

There''s 12,000 homicides a year in America according to schoollord.
That''s about 32 a day in a population of 300,000,000+.
There are a minimum of at least 82,000 defensive gun uses every year.
That''s 224 a day.
How many of these 82,000 people would have been killed if they did not have a gun to protect themselves?
It''s very possible many of them would have been killed or injured.
Having a gun is a personal decision and requires responsibility.
Having the ability to protect your life and your loved ones is the most basic of human rights.
Responsible gun ownership saves lives and prevents crime, no doubt about it.

Guns cause suicide?
So that''s why Japan, which has banned all guns, has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
Blaming guns for suicide and murder is like blaming matches and gasoline for arson.
It''s like blaming the alcohol and the car when a drunk driver causes an accident.

"Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.
The cause of liberty, the cause of American, cannot succeed with any lesser effort."
- President John F. Kennedy, January 29, 1961
