    Is the Right to Bear Arms becoming wrong in America?

    I believe we have gone beyound the point of who's to blame with in the system. Our laws to control guns is not perfect and never can be as long as we have the right to bear arms in America. This Law is the root of the problem although I believe it did not start out that way. What was once a a law with good intentions is now killing our children in shools and our citizen on the streets.

    The right to bear arms isn't the problem. It is the right to bear arms in the wrong peoples hands. These people will get firearms if they are illegal or legal. If made illegal? It will be a huge problem for law enforcement as drugs are now.

      JThomas- I believe that unless Gun Control is in perfect balance with the right to bear arms, then we will continue to have problem. Right now it's far to lopsided.

    I'm very sad that you think no one should have the right to bear arms. Our view of guns need to change. We should be emphasizing on protection, not fear.
    Actually, I just wrote a hub about this and the two tests America has offered in gun control in our society. Try reading this: http://lburmaster.hubpages.com/hub/The- … -Ownership

      Iburmaster- Thank you for your answer. I carried a firearm on my job for 27 years before my retirement. I personnel do not fear guns. However we now live in a time in this country where access to guns by those with ill intent is far to easy.

      Harming others has always been easy. But getting rid of them will only bring a new weapon to our home.

      50 years ago when someone was shot , we blamed the shooter. Now when someone is shot we blame everybody. What changed?
