Well, I'm having a debate via facebook with a friend from one of my chemistry classes.
I'm thinking that it is going well, but what do you think?
I'm underlined and in italics
The anti-gun friend is in bold.

This is soooo outrageous! Possibly the funniest facebook album I've ever seen. Should I carry a gun because I'm scared of everything? Or Because Hot women use them? This picture drew the line for me! Haha! She's asthmatic so she needs a gun! If all these women need guns sooo desperatly, why is it the majority of males carrying them! Thanks for the humor!

No. . . She needs a firearm because she can't run away in case something happens.
What are you going to do if someone puts a gun to your face in the middle of the night?

and do what with it?
You haven't answered the question tony.
What would you do if someone stuck a gun to your face.
or better yet. . .
Your significant others face
you sister/brother/cousin.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say here?

If someone stuck a gun in my face, I would wonder why they have it in the first place! Eliminate the problem at the source rather than the source of the problem (all these bad people we encounter so often in our lives).

you have just defeated your own argument.
"All these bad people we encounter so often in our lives"
Does a firearm shoot by itself?
-No.
What does it take to shoot a firearm?
a human behind it.
So, instead of banning firearms, what we should be doing instead is keeping violent criminals locked up longer or until they are reformed.
Until then a firearm is the best way to protect yourself from a threat.
Also, like I said before, Britain banned all there firearms and the criminals STILL had them. Guess what happened? Murder due to firearms went up because no one could defend themselves.
If you don't like firearms thats fine with me. But don't try to ban something that so many enjoy and use as a personal defense against those with lower moral standards than the average person.

I was actually trying hard to over exaggerate by say that we encounter so many people in our lives.
In fact I'm more scared of the people so strongly pro gun, that they would try to make them look appealing to more people.
My philosophy is the less guns the better, and living in fear is worse than dying.
So again, If someone stuck a gun in my face... I would check to see if he was a bad person, or your run of the mill law abiding citizen.
Murder's are caused by people from all walks of life. And if a citizen snaps, a gun is the last thing I would want them to own.
I guess I've always been anti gun, on every issue... I am a bow hunter, I laugh when I see rifle hunting on tv... I don't... It's not for me. Although, I think it would be good for me to see your side on the issue! So I think this is an on going healthy debate! And I thank you for it!

*sigh*
The problem I have with living in fear is just that. I should be able to safely walk done the street with not a care in the world.
However, I can not. I would myself would ban firearms if ALL firearms could be taken off the streets. Not just the ones in good peoples hands, those that are in bad hands.
It's to bad that this can't happen. The point is that there are bad people out there that have no reason to kill you. Perhaps its because you saw something they didn't want you to see. Maybe they want your T.V.
Perhaps they want to rape your family.
Until we can keep this from happening I fully believe that every legal American with no felonies should be able to own any type of firearm from single shots to fully automatic firearms.
We should all be able to defend ourselves from those that mean to do less than good to us.
This is all over the picture of Oleg Volk with the woman and asthma inhaler sleeping in the bed with the words "She can't run away, this gun keeps her safe."
