(7,932 posts)Guns are something completely unnecessary in life, they are designed to kill and nothing else. Abortions are a body issue and the entire argument about abortion is that women deserve the right to decide what is best for her. When someone else has a gun everyone around them loses the right to decide whats best for them unless they leave but that is basically bullying. The 2nd Amendment was created because of fear of slave rebellions and invasion by the British or others who would take advantage of a weak nation and unless you are in a "Well Regulated Militia" you are not protected under the 2nd amendment.
If you want a peaceful world, not only do we have to get rid of Nuclear weapons, we have to make it harder and harder to get guns and eventually phase guns out all together. Like I said at the beginning, Guns are made for killing and for nothing else.
