Go to www.nraila.com.  In the search window, type in any topic of reference you wish to know about. \nThis site deals with facts, not imaginary statistics, or over-emotional diatribes against self-protection.\n\nI'm willing to bet it's in your health class. This is discussed in the June 2002 edition of 'America's Freedom 1st' magazine. The title is "School Daze", and it talks about how gun control groups are using the education system to indoctinate children and teens in their beliefs that guns are evil. The emphasis in such curriculum does not focus on accountabilty or responsibility for one's own action, nor does it suggest that popular media might have more influence on violent behavior than the availability of guns in America.\n \nMy daughter's health class viewed "Bowling for Columbine", hardly a true documentary. In www.nraila.com, type in 'Moore' in the search window. An article there breaks down this film by Moore into it's true pieces of doctored clips and misrepresented items purported as "facts" by Moore and his crew.\n\nSame magazine, December 2001, article titled, "The 7 Myths of gun control" covers the following topics misrepresented by major news newtworks and so-called gun-safety groups, which are anti-gun groups in disguise:\n\n1) Guns increase violent crime\n2) Pulling a gun on a criminal endangers you more than the criminal\n3) Guns pose a special threat to children\n4) The 2nd Amendment applies only to militiamen\n5) The 2nd Amendment is an obsolete relic of the frontier era\n6) We should treat guns the same way we treat cars, requiring licenses for all\n7) Reasonable gun control measures are no threat to law-abiding gun owners.\nThe article takes great pains to explain in depth these myths.\n\nSame magazine, March 2004, article titled, "Why people fear guns", deals with the medias publicizing of criminal gun use more than law-abiding citizens using guns to protect themselves or stop vilolent criminals.\n\nI'll leave you with a quote from President John Adams, printed in 'America's Freedom 1st', April 2006: "Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at inidivual discreation...in private self defense."\n\nI ask that you visit this site, use their search window for various topics such as "England's gun ban", and "Australia's gun ban". There's many articles which point to the direct relation betweent their gun bans & the rise in violent crimes in their countries.\nPlease take your time, read both sides of the issues, not just the ones your teacher may be giving you.

I am surprised a worldly man such as yourself, working on the fringe of military markets, needs much in the way of an education on laws, weapons and street violence, and I really do not have the time to educate you.  Nevertheless, allow me a cursory response:\n\n1) The US Constitution does not allow people to "play" with guns.  2) The "'right'" conveyed is simply that, and does not require quotation marks to belittle it.  3) You have no way of knowing who considered what before answering your last petty jab at the US and its military delivered in the guise of a question – at the time you conveyed no interest in the relevance of the 2nd Amendment.  \n\nYou say you live a country where guns are not available to civilians and there is very little gun crime.  Have you read Joyce Malcolm, "Guns and Violence: The English Experience"?  An English author, she writes: \n\n"With passage of the Firearms Act of 1997, “it was confidently assumed that the new legislation effectively banning handguns would have the direct effect of reducing certain types of violent crime by reducing access to weapons.” The news media promised that the “world’s toughest laws will help to keep weapons off the streets.”  \n\nYet faster than British gun-owners could surrender their handguns for destruction, guns began flooding into Great Britain from the international black market (especially from eastern Europe and from China), driven by the demands of the country’s rapidly developing criminal gun-culture."  Even The London Times, bastion of the UK, headlined with:  "Killings Rise As 3 Million Illegal Guns Flood Britain" on January 16th, 2000.  I doubt little has changed in the last few years.\n\nAs for your last comment, regarding an armed civilian militia being no match for a modern professional army – ask your “mates” in Basra how things are going – urban warfare fighting against militias with light/captured weaponry is one of the most difficult things imaginable.\n\nUltimately, everything about your comments suggests to me that you are the kind of man who would walk into a bar and start mouthing off, simply to get a good fight started.  I am sure there are many people who would probably oblige you, but for my part I will simply say, if you are a professional, act like one.

I live in a state where guns are just a part of life. Most Alaskans have guns, some for protection, but mostly for hunting. I get pissed when people who live in big cities sneer down at those of us who chose a rural lifestyle and want to regulate guns. Um - when there is a bear on your front porch, trying to get in, come talk to me about gun control. When wolves are eating your pet dog in your yard, come talk to me about gun control. (Both incidents have happened in the town of Healy, Alaska and both are pretty recent.) When you move out to a village that is off the road system, where ALL of your food needs to be flown in and you're paying more than $7 for a gallon of milk, come talk to me about gun control. (I don't know what a pound of ground beef goes for, sorry) I know many Alaskan families - even here in Fairbanks, the 2nd largest city, who wouldn't make it through the winter if they didn't get a moose. Until Rosie - or any other anti-gun person - is willing to come up here and spend a year in a village, where they HAVE to hunt to survive, I don't pay much attention to them.

This Moderate Liberal is against gun control in any form. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution was part of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was for THE PEOPLE. The second amendment has nothing to do with the National Guard, State police or such.\n\nOver the last century our 2nd amendment has been eroded by both parties because of the threat of an "armed populace". Once you disarmed the people, the government can do whatever it wants to the people.\n\nPlus gun control only effects law abiding citizens. Criminals do not obey the law, therefor will not obey the laws for banning guns. All gun control laws do is make victims of the people to criminals.

You can find some information on www.gendercide.org if you click on "Case Studies" on the left hand side of the screen. Then you'll see a list of current and historical gendercides and about 2/3 of the way down there is a link to some info about the Montreal Massacre. Try searching other sites that discuss Gendercide and you might find more information. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I live in the United States and the 2nd Amendment grants each citizen the right to keep and bear arms.  In the recent past, there have been attempts by Democrats to misinterpret our constitution and claim that the 2nd Amendment applies only to the military.  Well, they are wrong and I'd be very surprised if they ever succeed in taking away our 2nd Amendment right (please research the Emerson case for more specifics on what I'm referring to).\n\nPrivate citizens need guns for many purposes.  Hunting for sport and meat has been and continues to be a right exercised by millions of law abiding Americans.  Some of us collect guns because we simply enjoy the fine craftsmanship of a well made firearm.  Some of us shoot for sport and target practice as a form of recreation and honing our skills.  As for using firearms as weapons against people, there is much evidence to indicate that a criminal will be quite reluctant to attack a person if there is a possibilty that that person is armed.  I feel quite confident that my  parents, wife, children, and numerous other friends and relatives are well equipped with the proper skills and weapons to defend themselves if they should ever be attacked by a life-threatening criminal.  If more people practiced their skills, and responsibly carried firearms, there would be a much reduced threat of criminal attack.  Once a person has been convicted of a violent crime, his 2nd Amendment right should be taken from him.  Those of us who enjoy guns in a responible manner, however, should be allowed to pursue our hobby in whatever way we wish, without the threat of uninformed people threatening to take away our rights.  Guns are dangerous weapons at times, but in the right hands they can be used responsibly and are an integral part of how this country came to be in the first place.  Before anyone spouts off about gun lovers who are hiding in bunkers, harboring irrational fears, and making ready to commit mass killings, you should consider the fact that most gun owners are not weirdos who want to kill you.  Our guns are much less dangerous to society that your teenage kids, riding around drunk in their new sports cars that you bought for them......\n\nFor Bob D.:  "A well regulated militia being neccessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".  I expected someone to try to misinterpret this again.....it keeps happening and we keep proving you wrong.  As I said, please research the Emerson case to see what the Courts have to say about this.  And, Bob, please cover up your bare arms!  The correct word is BEAR.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, thank you for identifying upfront that this is a homework assignment!\n\nI believe that any person who is not a convicted felon has the right to possess guns (and ammunition) in their home. I was brought up around guns, and taught a healthy respect for them. I realize many people have not been brought up around guns, and may have a healthy fear of guns ...I respect this. \n\nThe decision to possess firearms in the home is a personal decision, plain and simple! A firearm in the home may serve one or many of multiple purposes: recreation (sport shooting), occupation (a tool of one's job), collection (a person's hobby), hunting (putting food on one's table), or defense (protecting one's loved ones and home). \n\nYes, I know in today's modern society most people do not "need" to hunt. For some, this is not a choice ... it supplements their income or its their choice to have leaner meats that are free of steriods which are not available at your local grocery store!\n\nI know it is an old cliche, but it is coming more to life every day ... when honest people no longer have guns, only criminals will have guns. With the increasing number of home invasions, often being perpetrated by members of the drug culture, a "911" call will not hold them at bay until the police arrive. In today's society, as much as in the past, the individual has a right and obligation to protect themselves and their loved ones!\n\nGood luck!
