Pro-gun vs. Anti-gun

As a British citizen, I am anti-guns. I honestly can't even fathom how some people are pro-guns when the scenarios they provide usually require them to be breaking the law to begin with. i.e you're meant to keep a gun unloaded, and locked in a safe. So you can easily retrieve that when staring down an intruder in your home? No, you cannot. So in the scenarios, they take their handgun from their nightstand, which apparently is breaking the law to begin with. So based on that, would it even matter if the gun laws changed? You'd be breaking them anyway.

But overall, I'm anti-people. I think if the US adopted tighter gun laws (note that I'm not saying ban guns) there wouldn't be as many problems. Look at the kid who went on a rampage in California a few days ago. An Asbergers syndrome sufferer with clinical depression, and somebody thought "yeah he can have guns"

THAT is why gun laws are a laughing stock, and that is why the constitution is worthless.

Also, I have a question. Are things such as swords or axes allowed to be carried by the general populace in America? Because they too fall under the umbrella of being "arms" which you apparently have the right to bear (carry).

Nope, I'm pretty sure you can walk down the street with an axe and you won't get arrested unless you're bothering someone.

I do agree though that there should be tighter regulations for who can own a gun. You should have to undergo a background check and mental evaluation first.
 
I'm Pro-Gun to the Situation, I'm not sure if its already been said, There's a reason American's are Constitutionally given the Right to bear arms. I.e Own weapons.
With that being said, They should have tighter control on the regulation of the sale and ownership. I'm not sure if a similar system is in place but one solution to part of the problem could be to Flag Address' as those that say a convicted felon lives at or a person that's in the system as not being able to own a weapon. This could help ensure that Joe, Who lives with his grandma, doesn't convince his Grandma to go out and buy him a Pistol.
