This would be so much harder to accomplish if the Government would just BAN GUNS.

You are obviously not an american, and obviously are not in full understanding of our constitution. Guns are not, and have never been, about protection from the average citizen.
As for ripping up the bill of rights-you do realize that doing so would cause an all-out civil war, right?
And let me ask you this: If guns become illegal, do you really think that that means they become unavailable?edit on 10-1-2011 by captaintyinknots because: (no reason given)

GUNS needs to be BANNED for the general populas NOW!
Americans have shown the world that they cannot and will NEVER be able to behave responsibly with a GUN in hand.
Massacres at schools, shopping malls and Universities is common place and NOW the assassination attempt of a government official.
This would be so much harder to accomplish if the Government would just BAN GUNS.
The American people do not need them even for protection. Protection from who? The average American has no serious enemy.
Gun need to be BANNED and it looks like that day is coming. Good. I do not care how people on here think about that but with the anti-government feel to this site it proves that it only takes one or two bad eggs to spoil the party. So the easiest way is to BAN the deadly weapon.
As an added measure after the shooting of that poor congress woman who was only doing her job, I think the US constitution should be suspended till the ban of GUNS has been put into effect.
The Bill of Rights needs to be torn up and replaced with something more upto date. The right to bare arms is now outdated and will only serve to put fire in the bellies of those do not like the way the system works. Instead of improving their lives they turn to GUNS as their way to solve their pathetic lives. The Bill of Rights is too old to mean anything now-a-days and needs to be looked at before the US turn into an anarchist state.
Ban GUNS and terminate the current Bill of rights in favor of something more realistic.
PS I know a lot of you will be giving it the mouth in reply but shootings in America need to STOP. And trying to kill a government official is just plain WRONG!!! The average american has no formal training with a weapon and has no formal pass mark to achieve. If you look at driving you need to pass a test and get a license.
Americans will always resort to shooting people. Its in their nature. Anyone who does not agree with the BANNING of GUNS needs to be considered as someone who POTENTIALLY will one day do harm to someone. I
A new "extremist" law needs to be introduce for gun ownership.
