Do you think the USA should ban guns?
No. Why take away a right given to us by our founding fathers? Guns aren't just used for killing people, they can be used for many different things. Like hunting.
Is it necessary to carry around a loaded firearm?
In some circumstances yes. In a city like Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, St. Louis, New Orleans, etc where crime is really high it's better to have protection than not. Or walking around in the woods with a rifle hunting is another example.
Are guns valued over the preservation of life?
Only by the nutcase conservatives in this country.
Are guns tools that preserve or destroy life?
Neither. Obviously a gun can save yours or a family members life while at the same time resulting badly if a child got ahold of the gun. Which is why there are safes. But some parents don't know proper gun safety, those are the ones that could potentially destroy a life.
Is it a human right to carry a firearm?
No. Some people aren't allowed to carry or even own a fiream due to lack of psychological testings or criminal issues. Also for those allowed, it's a privelage that should not be infringed.
How many more innocent people must die before major changes are made?
I don't see how this makes sense? Guns don't kill people, people kill people. You can throw a ban on guns all you want but it wont change the fact if someone wants a gun they'll obtain one. You can buy a gun for $100 if not cheaper in the streets of Chicago.

So tell me how that happens with strict gun laws? Chicago is not far from a gun free zone yet there's shootings everyday and practically a murder a day. Last year there were close to 500 murders from guns alone.
So in theory, if you ban guns it wont change. Killers will still use guns, guns can still be purchased through the black market, people will start using knives, machetes, rocks, etc to kill someone. Anything can be used as a weapon so if you ban guns, ban everything that be a potential use as a weapon.
