I'm not, but I disagree mightily.

Why does anyone, other than the government and its agents need such a weapon?

Why does a government or its agents need such a weapon? I trust my neighbors with guns more than I trust governments with guns. Here in Utah I've been told by cops that they consider armed citizens to be their best backup.

Has there ever been a time in which a government didn't allow people their God given rights?

I don't understand. Are you saying that governments always allow people their rights? If so, I can show you many cases of governments denying citizens their rights. History is full of them.

Why would anyone ever have a use for a firearm which could take a life?

I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall and nearly 60 years old. When a 6-foot-2 guy comes into my apartment and attacks me without warning, should I beat him up? How?

After all criminal activity is enviromental and if guns are banned no one will have them.

All criminal activity is NOT environmental. I've met people who really were broken-they had no concept of right and wrong. Second half of your sentence: show me exactly how you would ban all guns. I personally know people who know how to make their own. From scratch. Also, how exactly do you propose to ban ALL guns? |

If fire arms are banned no criminal activity will threaten your life.

Of course where else would you get rights.

Please, list your cases where the government purposely turned on those it governs.
