Hows that for rights?

Not the best example for advocates of gun ownership to use.

It's totally ridiculous how you all think wandering round the country with hand guns and ammo is normal. And Sephroth I'd do some research on how many gun shot injuries and deaths are the caused by the homeowners handgun and how many victims are the homeowners family or friends.
You guys live in lala land you really do. And you wonder why people in other countries think everyone in the US is crazy.
I know you're not all crazy but really you guys don't do yourselves any favours, and don't start quoting the constitution at me either because that "right to maintain an armed militia" thing or whatever it says is so out of date it's just funny.
Now I guess I'm going to get flamed let's see how many Americans can put up a decent argument without getting nasty.

I stopped a rape in progress with my gun, and my sister changed her mind about them for ever after.
911 records a lot of deaths.
You will notice that accadental shootings happen more often to the uneducated, than by members of the NRA.
Brits kill less people with hands and feet, per capita, than Americans, would that be because Brits HAVE less hands and feet...per capita...?
Culture is at the root of the violence issue in America.
It is never a jewish internet professional driving around looking to "gat" another jewish internet professional...for example.
The number of guns per citizens is exactly why Brits never have to come here, and rescue us from the Germans....and that was its intent all along.

I would hate the thought my children are playing in a park and people are carrying a weapon close by. I would hate to walk down the street and be conscious that people have them.

That's the point! You are not conscious that people have them so you walk down the street with your head in your a.. the sand.

so should we get rid of knives, swords, chemicals, blunt heavy objects, while were at it?

EXACTLY!
When our Constitution was written, our founding fathers had NO IDEA how far knife techknowledgy would advance.
Ginsu knives can cut through a cinder block, and still slice tomatoes paper thin. Do we really need that kind of cutting power as individuals?
