If you take guns away, people will use knifes. If you take knifes away and guns, people will use their fist. What are you going to suggest next, people have to have their limbs amputated so that they can't assault people? I hate to break it to you, guns don't kill, dangerous people kill. Don't be throwing the baby out with the bathwater here. You can't take away the weapon and assume that all will be fine and dandy. You need to take away the user. Besides, if you took away guns, people would just make them in their backyards, and cops and the military would be useless. Your logic is severely flawed there.
P.S. Arixxz, how about a M-249 SAW!!?!?!?!!!!
yer I understand where your coming from but still, a gun cost more then a knife yet people still buy them and shoot people? because its a 1shot kill and you don't have to be right next to your target, where as a knife you think before you do it, i'm sure most would, it's a close range, it leaves blood on the criminal and also some people can defend well, and that leaves the crimnal thinking should he do it?
I'm sure this way round the whole death would drop alot of % in parts of country's with guns.
only swat should carry them and police should carry heavy weaponry to get a criminal down.
What the governments need to do after banning guns is pay to teach people how to defend them selves against people who attack.
What they also need to do aswell is have more private buses that take old people to where they wish to be at a small cost, because lets admit it, old people are the ones who suffer alot from petty thugs.
How is owning a gun or modding a car compensating for something? I don't own a gun personally... my dad owns several. Here it's called personal protection. When you live 10 miles from civilization and 30 miles from the nearest cops, what happens if some psycho breaks into your house on a rampage? Do you ask him politely to stop while you call the police and please be patient while they get in their cars to drive out to see you? And yes it's happened nearby, and yes the guns have prevented innocent people from being hurt.
And on the topic of modding cars making your penis seem bigger... well whatever helps you sleep better at night. I do it because it's a passion.

Arrizx sorry for taking more of a dump in this thread.
Neo why on earth did you just say 'I Dont think there is a problem with guns' ?
I don't understand.
Guns kill people.
Guns cause accidents
Guns are dangerous no matter who you are
Guns should be banned fullstop, lethal weapon and if it gets under the wrong hands then who knows.
It's ok to shoot targets and that if your bored and live in the middle of nowhere, I don't mind that.
My suggestion for a new gun would be a shot gun although they're kind of scary in my opinion, an M16, a sniper rifle, or a revolver. Kind of an odd list, but I think it all comes down to personal preference.
