i never suggested we should impose our rules on you.

Effing duh. There are irresponsible people out there, and there always will be. And why the hell would you care, all the way from Britain, like to impose bans and whatnot on our country? You guys kinda lost us a few hundred years ago, remember?

I agree it is people who do the killing, but it is not an effective solution to combating crime, its a right realist approach, it works as well as your barbaric death sentance does at deterring crime.

I don't agree with restrictions on guns, except when it comes to criminals and people who are clinically (mentally) ill.

If crime is low, there is no need to protect yourelf with a gun...the very suggestion you say you NEED guns to combat crime is sickening.

Firstly, I object to your use of the word "sickening" because you've got little idea about the nature of culture over here.

Secondly, I like your idea about combating crime. Guns don't cause crime, however, and banning them will not reduce it. Crimes will still be committed, and criminals will still obtain and use firearms. Look at the crime rate in your own country following the crackdown on gun ownership there. It was a total failure.

Areas with high gun ownership and carrying rights in the US have consistantly lower crime rates than the rest of the country. This may not be evidence in itself, but it certainly supports the idea that it is not guns, but rather local society, ecomonics, and population density that affect crime.

Either way, if increasing the number of legally owned and used firearms reduces crime, I see no reason why that is "sickening". You'd rather have a situation where the crime rate is doubled simply because you object to the idea of an armed citizenry?

Then what should we use?

I believe that people should have guns.
There is a county in GA where everyone that lives there has a gun and their crime rate is lower there than anywhere else.
So, you can tell me all day long that guns do not help keep people save, cause they do.
It's the person belhind the gun that kills not the gun.

My computer was going crazy on me so everything was caps, no matter what I did. I saw on the internet that out of 70,000 people who called the cops because of an attack, the cops only was able to help 20,000 of those people. So we can't trust the cops all the time. we have to protect our selves.

Not only to I believe in the 2nd Amendment, I believe every citizen should be issued automatic weapons, ammunition, supplies, and be trained in personal protection.

Even if we outlawed guns, you won't eliminate crime. For one thing, a handgun is really a young 100 lb single woman's defense against a 200 lb attacker unless she were Buffy the Vampre Slayer or Dark Angel.

Another thing is that while citizens will give up their firearms, the criminals won't.

In addition to arming the citizens though, I believe we also need to arm the police with automatic weapons, armored fighting vehicles, combat aircraft, and put a million more police officers onto our city streets.

Why didn't you listen to Augon Hunter?

you listened to 1/3 of what he said. Why are there so many people that insist on typing in all caps?

I AM A MEMBER OF THE NRA (NATONAL RIFLES ASSOCIATION)> I FOUND SOMTHING ON THE INTERNET ON THIS SUBJECT> IT TOLD ME THAT IN VERMONT PEOPLE CAN CARRY GUN JUST ABOUT ANY WHERE> THERE CRIME RATE IS VERY LOW> YOU KNOW WHY IS ITS BECAUSE OF THE FEAR THAT THEY MIGHT GET SHOT> THEY PUT MORE GUNS IN SCHOOLS FOR SECURITY FOR DEFENDING THEM SELVES> ANYWAY IF TAKE AWAY GUNS THEY WILL ONLY TAKE AWAY GUNS THAT ARE REGISTERED> IF SOMEONE WANTED TO DO HARM DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THEY WOULD REGISTER THEIR GUNS> YOU WOULD BE JUST TAKING GUNS AWAY FROM THE INOCENT>

this tends to be a liberal site, moron. ...

A lot of children get hurt just because they are playing with a gun that is someone elses, and they just found it because someone left it sitting there. Does anyone support guns? Because I don't see the need for them in our society. What does everyone think about guns in general? Are laws making guns easier to get, anyway to solve the problems in this world?

Idk y all of u want to take away a very important thing in our sociaty today. it doesnt make sense to me. i thought this was suposed to be a free country. and the last thing that many people would want to be taken away is guns. now guns are not for protection they r a sport. America is a free country and people schould be allowed to have what they want. it is like if we were to say we are going to take away the computer because there are to many kidnapings from kids giving out information. well that is the same information that we are dealuing with guns people leave out guns kids shoot themselves. it is the way life goes think about this. thank you for reading.

Why the hell do you keep posting the rules at random times on random threads?

YouthNOISE - Bulletin Board Rules of Play

YouthNOISE is all about making yourself heard, and the boards are one of the many places on the site where you can do just that. You can discuss your pet issues, experiences you have, and the NOISE you make lending a hand, fundraising and speaking out. So while we encourage you to post what's on your mind, we're aware that every once in a while, some people just have to go and be spoilers. Not only is poor board etiquette really annoying, it's grounds to get you kicked off the site. In order to keep the boards safe and clean, here's a detailed description of things NOT to do on the NOISEboards:


Posting personal information. Seriously, don't give out real names, phone numbers, addresses, etc. - yours or anyone else's - on the boards. Not a good idea in cyberspace in general.


Harassing or threatening another NOISEmaker. Please don't cyberstalk, spam, or send unwanted messages. We don't know why you'd want to, but please don't bash another member's race, heritage, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. We're about tolerance.


Posting, transmitting, promoting, distributing or facilitating the distribution of any content that is obscene, sexually explicit, vulgar or pornographic, or soliciting sexually explicit photographs or text from other NOISEmakers. Keep it clean.


Posting or transmitting photographic images that are violently graphic


Disrupting the flow of bulletin board areas with vulgar language, abusiveness, repeatedly submitting the same content, explicitly sexual content, off-topic content or other conduct that may disrupt normal activities. It's not shocking, it's boring.


Impersonating another NOISEmaker, YouthNOISE staff member, or anyone else.


Attempting to get or steal a password, other account information, or other private information from another NOISEmaker; harvesting e-mail addresses or other information.


Posting unsolicited ads and/or promotional material or any other forms of solicitation including but not limited to mail fraud and pyramid schemes.


Posting anywhere on the site, or in any way creating, transmitting, transmitting links to, promoting, distributing or facilitating the distribution of content that is untrue, illegal, libelous, harmful, threatening, harassing, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, hate propaganda, defamatory, or objectionable. If you aren't sure about something that you want to say or do, ask an adult, friend and/or relative first.


Signatures violating Rules of Play listed above will be removed. Continual removal of signatures will result in post moderation*.


Avatars must not contain images of users under 18 years old, racially or ethnically offensive images, images containing hate propaganda and illegal or inappropriate images. Continual removal of avatars will result in post moderation*.
* Post moderation means moderator will review posts before going live.
