    I can not understand why people in US have gun. Many people die because of gun. Why do they ban gun? Word without gun would be better. People will live together in peace. There are no war like US-IRAQ, US-IRAN..

    you read to media to much! guns in the hands of evil people will result in shootings, how ever just because you own a gun it doesnt mean your going to kill some one. if you look how big the usa is (population wise) and then look at some Real stats, you will see it has a ok gun ratio compared to the country's population.

    There's guns in Canada but Americans really love their guns.

    Canada
    Low Range Estimates
    = 2,400,000 firearms owners

    = 7,200,000 firearms

    Medium Range Estimates
    = 3,100,000 firearms owners

    = 9,000,000 firearms

    High Range Estimates
    = 3,800,000 firearms owners

    = 11,000,000 firearms

    might be because of the population differences

    303,004,000 - usa
    33,037,600 - Canada

    If there were no guns, there would be swords. Although, if you learn some martial arts.. you'd live forever

    Guns simply give them the alleged sense of safety.

    I live in Alaska. Anywhere we go outside the cities, it is possible to run into bears. In fact, there are an estimated 250 bears within the city limits of my hometown Anchorage. I have lots of friends here who have had bears come right up to their homes. My .300 Winchester magnum rifle is for self-defense. Thankfully. I haven't had to use it yet. :) A bear in the wild, not separated from you by zoo fences, is a scary sight.

    As a Brit living in the USA I'm actually quite surprised. Nobody I know over here actually owns a gun. Yes there are more guns (and shootings) over here but it's not anywhere near what I was lead to believe.
