Why more people favor gun rights over gun control...they can see actual violence...

why more people support gun rights,over gun control......they can actually see violence when it happens. that is one theory put forward in this piece and I would have to agree. when you see a violent attack on the Internet from actual CCTV and you know it is real.......you come to understand that yes....that sort of thing happens to normal people who are just living their lives....

They didn't know that was the day they would be a victim...but it was caught on video when it happened....

New York Times Has the NRA Won - The Truth About Guns

I don’t think it’s a matter of prevalence. Yes, thanks to the Internet and cell phone cameras, violent crime is more visible. But the important change is that it’s more visceral. We’re not just seeing the horrific aftermath of attacks, filtered through the soothing voices of professional newsreaders. We’re seeing the raw footage of violence as it happens.

This close encounter of the video kind triggers what TTAG writer Nick Leghorn describes as an incidence – severity ratio. Violent crime might be rare and getting rarer, but it’s result is catastrophic. Americans can now see – in full detail and at their convenience – the terrifying consequences of not being prepared for a violent assault.

Our rights to guns is like Israel's right to survive. We only have to lose ONCE.

Wait for few hours, here will be another ****storm again... Gun owners often talk about their right to bear arms, and there is no argument to stop them thinking about it! They will never believe that gun control is god thing and we at least need to try it before blaming.

We have 20,000 gun laws at the local, state and federal level....it is against the law go use a gun for a crime, and it is against the law for a felon to possess, or carry a gun.....we have federal background checks.....and criminals still get guns...they will always get guns...

What gun control do you think would work?

Pretty simple:
1 - Guns only for policemen and soldiers
2 - if you're soldier and you lost your gun - you're not a soldier anymore and also, these persons should seat in jail(Of course if they were guilty. If cop were shot(not to death) and his gun was stolen - everything is okay)
These two steps will decrease number of thugs with guns.

There's absolutely no rational reason for this. None.

Please provide a sound argument as to why no one other than the state should be allowed to have a gun.
Please provide a sound argument as to how not allowing anyone other than the state to have a a gun does not violate the constitution.

Well.....Puerto Rico is an Island nation....no easy to cross borders, and they have stricter gun control than the rest of the United States and it's territories...and it is the gun murder capitol of the world according to VICE t.v.

And why should only the police and soldiers have guns....that never works out in a free society.....that is how a free society becomes an un free society....and someone will post the picture of the nazis killing their citizens to point out what happens when only the police and soldiers have guns.....

Do you have any other ideas besides violating the 2nd Amendment and arming the state over the citizens who it works for...?
