roodingle: I call on my 1911, and with my left hand I call 911.

This is a simple matter for people who think for themselves.I do not recognize any "right" of any government to deny me the most fundamental of rights,the right to self protection.Clearly the 2nd amendment "spirit of the law" was to avert governmental tyranny by insuring rights to defend against the government.Today's Oprahfied citizens don't understand that.

So what do you do if someone breaks into your house? Call 911? The police may not arrive within the 1 minute that it takes for the assailant to cut your throat. How are you going to protect your family?

Ive agreed with all your videos so far...but this time..i have to disagree..the reason we need guns is in case the govt becomes to oppressive!!! The US could very easily become a police state if our citizens are unarmed.

Frankly, you do not deserve the grate country you are living in. You should better go to North Korea, it is your dream state.No carbon emissions, only the army have guns, universal healthcare. Yeah, they have this tendency to prohibit some other thing - like voting, but you can speak about that to the their government, or can you?

How stupid do you get?"Haha, because you are anti guns you are pro marihuana, haha", no because you are stupid bimbo you are a major ass hole! I am pro guns and anti prohibition, so what am judging by your sick logic".And also the fucking guns are in the constitution for a reason. If a bunch of retards like you elect tyrant the people should have a instrument with which to put him/her down and restore the rule of LAW!!! Take the guns and you are eliminating this instrument.

STUPID WOMEN, WHO IS IGNORANT,WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK.Stupid man,what can I say? you are a waste of air.

But it often seems to be that in the heat of these arguments passion overtakes peoples' ability to look at the issue from the opposite point of view. In this case, both sides have to recognize that pretty much no one is "pro gun violence" or wants more people to get shot, similarly to the abortion debate where nobody actually thinks it would be a better world if there were more abortions if we could somehow avoid them.I'm not some hick from Alabama by the way, I'm a liberal from boston.

Certainly, I should've posted my source of course, all from justfacts[dot]com, it seems to me to be a rather reputable organization, I need to look into it a little more, but as far as I can tell it's fairly unbiased. I copied & pasted most of those, with only a few things left out that I felt were irrelevant, but I don't think I've changed the essential jist of any of it.It just seems to me that most of the objective evidence points to gun control laws doing more harm than good.
