Should gun laws be put in place, or should the 2nd amendment be preserved?

I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.

I am personally for the 2nd amendment, but I'd like to hear why you are on which side and all of that. ;) Keep it polite, please.

Baah, second amendment. I thought I could include the situation in the Netherlands as an example of some sort, but nooo it has to be the ruddy second amendment again. :(

Gun laws? I'm pretty sure there already are a few in place, like: "Don't kill people with them, okay?"

More to the point, I'm fine with guns and gun owners as long as guns are kept VERY safe, which includes kids can't reach it and you can't take it everywhere you want with you.

Naturally,I couldn't care less about the 2nd Amendment, but I think that if a person meets certain criteria then they should be allowed to own a gun. Although, even then certain restrictions should apply. People don't need anti tank weapons for home defence after all.

Do tell about the Netherlands example - I'm curious. :)

I agree with you about keeping the guns safe - accidents happen - but is there any reason why you don't want anyone taking them everywhere? It's useful in fending off a mugger, or somebody worse.

Actually, I seem to be poorly informed about my own countries' gun laws. :O

"Dutch gun law is typical of the Western European approach. Firearm possession is not subject to any constitutional protections, but regulated simply in the Arms and Ammunition Act (Wet Wapens en Munitie). Weapons, including firearms, are divided into four categories, and for each of the categories a certain maximum punishment is set for "voorhanden hebben" (possession), and "dragen" (carrying in public).

Only citizens who are members of hunting and shooting sports clubs may obtain licences for weapons. And even then they may only get a licence for category III weapons (sports weapons).

Firearm possession and use by the military and the police is not subject to Arms and Ammunition Act, but regulated separately.

Sale/Use is only for those age 18 or over." I didn't think of hunting or sportsclubs. Simply forgot about them apparently. :O

What `Navagon said.

If you want to hunt deer, I have no problem with that. A line has to be drawn in the sand, however, when the 2nd ammendment is being used as an excuse to purchase grenades, machine guns, and weapons-grade plutonium.
