U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.

This is amazing!!

Cheers!

 

Yeah guns are great right?

 

Ofcourse, then how do we bring crime down!?

 

We shoot everybody!!

 

We could end the war on drugs, it does far more to create dangerous criminal organizations than gun ownership ever will.

 

I totally agree with you math20....

Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage....

Fire in the hole!!!

LOL

 

Remember guys, guns don't kill people, rappers do!

 

and remember, its better to have a gun and not need it,
then to need a gun and not have it...

 

The US must be the safest country in the world!

 

Yes. Safe compared to the rest of the world even Europe. Unless you include inner city black on black and black on white crime.

 

It depends, they can be useful (evil thoughts AGS)

 

SO, other country can rich their arms to face this USA.

 

i have no issue with the firearms being controlled by the u.s.,in my opinion its in good hands
Id rather have a democratic,freedom seeking,stable and dignified country like america own them than lets say Russia or China.

 

Despite having firearms more than any other country, we don't see people running with a gun, blowing people on the streets everyday.

 

the US has one of the highest crime rates among the developed states and you do occasionally hear about maniacs who go on killing rampages. I'm anti-gun ownership.

 

Uhhh... Compare US to South America, Russia, Africa and many other countries.. Us will come on what possition? 30? I believe...

 

What about the European union? At least they don't invade countries with "weapons of mass destruction"...

Why did the US invade Iraq? Bc. they knew they didnt have any WOMD's. If they would really be attacking all countries which support terrorists and have weapons of mass destruction, why don't they attack North Korea&Iran? And they dont seem to be cooperating as Saddam was when he was actually in charge (his death penalty was another dumb thing...)?

Btw: North Koreans would be really liberated.

Iraqui people tell me that their lives were better with Saddam. At least he kept those crazy killers down.

Cmon, unless your a cop, hunter or military, there is no need for a weapon in your home. There are statistics saying that 90% of all persons which think that they are shooting against a thief in their home are actually shooting at some family member which came home late or is up late... now tell me why I should have a gun in my home. I think my penis is long enough, I dont need a virtual penis enlarger, in this case a gun.

 

Please show us the stats and enlight us.....

People need guns for self-defense..When you are up against a bunch of street bullies, your penis is not going to defend you.. I doubt that it will not erect even...

 

Grow up, sissies. My Glock G-19 is made in Europe. So it's not like you Euro-sissies are unfamiliar with the concept of armed combat.

 

Something good to know when deciding whether or not it is a good idea to try and invade the U.S. huh? I may not own a gun, but I know plenty that would let me borrow one if we were attacked.
