guns should be largely illegal

Vigilantism is unfair and wrong in a democracy, this i feel is the main purpose of guns and therefore guns should be largely illegal. I can think of these purposes for guns all of which are either morally wrong (obviously so) or can for filled though another mechanism (in a democracy) <br> intimidation: its wrong and should not be accepted <br> Murder or serious harm; pretty frowned upon. obviously a primary use of guns via passionate morons <br> sport; can be done via bb-guns <br> food: theres not enough for for everyone to go hunting and so guns should be controlled and licensed to the few lucky enough to own land (similarly to who ever lives with bears ect) <br> To remove ones government; the very point of a democracy is that this can be done through non violent means. <br> if you believe in liberty, i applaud you, but this tread is for a democracy. <br> a nation with an army does not need an armed population

Why? So we can be defenseless when some crazed minority who illegally possesses a gun or other weapon decides to hurt us or steal our property? We have the second amendment for a reason. You might say "Japan has strict gun laws". Guess what, they also don't have niggers.
