Im doing a project in college about gun control. I personally am against serious gun control, as I own a lot of rifles and pistols. But Im trying to get viewpoints on if the U.S. needs more gun control or less. Any viewpoints are welcomed. Thank you

    As a police officer with 30+ ON THE STREET I can say we need to repel ALL laws now on the books, federal, state and local, which restrict, or deny any responsible person from, obtaining, carrying, and using firearms.[:(!]
    These laws make for a target rich environment for the victimizers (criminals)!

    one thing to pay attention to is history. they are the greatest indicator of what works and what doesn't.

    look at crime statistics for places like detriot, chicago, washington d.c., they are places that have a very high level crime and many, many gun laws. look at countries that have banned guns, such as the united kingdom and australia. crime rates began increaseing after guns were banned.

    remember too that gun laws do not affect the criminals, they affect us, lawful, rightful owners. when the gun bans came in those other countries the criminals did not turn in their firearms.

    please let us know how your project turns out.

    I was referring to any law that retricts, regulates, or removes the RTKBA.[;)]

    I in no way suggest or condone that we have no laws, period.

    Reminds me of an old comedian. My Dad used to have a record of him. He went by the moniker of 'Brother Dave Garner'. In one of his routines, he used to say, "I believe we should legalize everything; that way, there would be no crime."[:D]
