This idea that everyone is a gun-toting hillbilly is an exageration and myth from those who want to take guns away from those who use them lawfully. If the US actually enforced the gun laws on the books and left those who own guns legally alone, gun crime would go way down. The vast majority of gun crime is committed by people who do not obtain the guns legally. And this is important - guns dont kill - its the people who use them.</div><div class="clear"></div><div class="signature_div"><br />_________________<br /><img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/11/59/00/36/the_ki10.jpg" border="0" alt="Why Switzerland is left alone?

Besides, what about European countries that have strict gun control laws? In Holland it takes a lot of paperwork and money to get a gun permit, and when you have a gun police officers can check randomly if you still have the same amount of bullets you had last time and if it's stored properly.

I dunno what you think, but my freedom is pretty secure as far as I can tell.</dd> </dl>Just for debate sake, here is a brief definition of the social contract theory.<br /><br />"Social contract describes a broad class of theories that try to explain the ways in which people form states to maintain social order. The notion of the social contract implies that the people give up sovereignty to a government or other authority in order to receive or maintain social order through the rule of law. It can also be thought of as an agreement by the governed on a set of rules by which they are governed.<br /><br />Social contract theory formed a central pillar in the historically important notion that legitimate state authority must be derived from the consent of the governed. The starting point for most of these theories is a heuristic examination of the human condition absent from any structured social order, usually termed the “state of nature”. In this condition, an individual’s actions are bound only by his or her personal power, constrained by conscience. From this common starting point, the various proponents of social contract theory attempt to explain, in different ways, why it is in an individual’s rational self-interest to voluntarily give up the freedom one has in the state of nature in order to obtain the benefits of political order.<br /><br />Thomas Hobbes (1651), John Locke (1689) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762) are the most famous philosophers of contractarianism. However, they drew quite different conclusions from this starting-point. Hobbes advocated an authoritarian monarchy, Locke advocated a liberal monarchy, while Rousseau advocated liberal republicanism. Their work provided theoretical groundwork of constitutional monarchy, liberal democracy and republicanism. The Social Contract was used in the Declaration of Independence as a sign of enforcing Democracy, and more recently has been revived by thinkers such as John Rawls."<br /><br />This "theory" has absolutely no context on the subject of gun control. <br /><br />A social contract is a willing agreement...a partnership. Which is exactly what Switzerland appears to have with their citizens. Switzerland is arguably the most peaceful country on the planet....the safest country on the planet and has been for decades. Considering where they are parked....that's something worth paying attention too. It has nothing to do with Christianity or America. But its predictable for that hate and sentiment to come out immediately...which it has.</div><div class="clear"></div></div><span class="gensmall"></span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><div class="fa_like_div"><p class="fa_like_list" style="display: none;"></p><button class="rep-button " data-href="" data-href-rm=""><svg width="15px" height="15px" viewBox="0 0 1792 1792" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M320 1344q0-26-19-45t-45-19q-27 0-45.5 19t-18.5 45q0 27 18.5 45.5t45.5 18.5q26 0 45-18.5t19-45.5zm160-512v640q0 26-19 45t-45 19h-288q-26 0-45-19t-19-45v-640q0-26 19-45t45-19h288q26 0 45 19t19 45zm1184 0q0 86-55 149 15 44 15 76 3 76-43 137 17 56 0 117-15 57-54 94 9 112-49 181-64 76-197 78h-129q-66 0-144-15.5t-121.5-29-120.5-39.5q-123-43-158-44-26-1-45-19.5t-19-44.5v-641q0-25 18-43.5t43-20.5q24-2 76-59t101-121q68-87 101-120 18-18 31-48t17.5-48.5 13.5-60.5q7-39 12.5-61t19.5-52 34-50q19-19 45-19 46 0 82.5 10.5t60 26 40 40.5 24 45 12 50 5 45 .5 39q0 38-9.5 76t-19 60-27.5 56q-3 6-10 18t-11 22-8 24h277q78 0 135 57t57 135z" fill="#666"/></svg><span>Like</span><span class="rep-nb" style="display:none;"></span></button><button class="rep-button " data-href="" data-href-rm=""><svg width="15px" height="15px" viewBox="0 0 1792 1792" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M320 576q0 26-19 45t-45 19q-27 0-45.5-19t-18.5-45q0-27 18.5-45.5t45.5-18.5q26 0 45 18.5t19 45.5zm160 512v-640q0-26-19-45t-45-19h-288q-26 0-45 19t-19 45v640q0 26 19 45t45 19h288q26 0 45-19t19-45zm1129-149q55 61 55 149-1 78-57.5 135t-134.5 57h-277q4 14 8 24t11 22 10 18q18 37 27 57t19 58.5 10 76.5q0 24-.5 39t-5 45-12 50-24 45-40 40.5-60 26-82.5 10.5q-26 0-45-19-20-20-34-50t-19.5-52-12.5-61q-9-42-13.5-60.5t-17.5-48.5-31-48q-33-33-101-120-49-64-101-121t-76-59q-25-2-43-20.5t-18-43.5v-641q0-26 19-44.5t45-19.5q35-1 158-44 77-26 120.5-39.5t121.5-29 144-15.5h129q133 2 197 78 58 69 49 181 39 37 54 94 17 61 0 117 46 61 43 137 0 32-15 76z" fill="#666"/></svg><span>Dislike</span><span class="rep-nb" style="display:none;"></span></button></div></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr class="post--337785" style=""><td class="row2 browse-arrows" align="center" valign="middle" width="150"><a href="#top"><img class="sprite-arrow_subsilver_up" src="https://2img.net/i/empty.gif" alt="Back to top" loading="lazy" /></a> <a href="#bottom"><img class="sprite-arrow_subsilver_down" src="https://2img.net/i/empty.gif" alt="Go down" loading="lazy" /></a></td><td class="row2 messaging gensmall" width="100%" height="28"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td valign="middle"> </td></tr></table></td></tr><tr class="post post--337809" id="p337809" style=""><td class="row1" valign="top" width="150"><span class="name"><a name="337809" style="position: relative; top: -30px; width: 1px;" id="337809"></a><strong><span style="color:#F7A70A"><strong>exact33</strong></span></strong></span><br /><span class="postdetails poster-profile">The King<br /><img loading="lazy" src="https://2img.net/u/3215/80/92/40/avatars/94-54.jpg" alt="exact33" style="max-width: 150px; max-height: 150px" /><br /><br /><div class="dd_award right"></div><div class="award_more"></div><br><span class="label"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Number of posts</span> : </span> 23281<br /><span class="label"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Age</span> : </span> 51<br /></span><br /><img src="https://2img.net/i/empty.gif" alt="Why Switzerland is left alone?

But for argument sake I can go along with you and add it is also very easy to kill someone in any number of different ways i.e. screwdrivers, cars, axes, poison. We dont ban those things. People have killed other people long before and probably long after guns. The idea is to create an effective deterrant to those who wish to kill others. <br /> <br />There are gun accidents to be sure and if you cannot properly handle something, you should not own it.</div><div class="clear"></div><div class="signature_div"><br />_________________<br /><img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/11/59/00/36/the_ki10.jpg" border="0" alt="Why Switzerland is left alone?

If the US actually enforced the gun laws on the books and left those who own guns legally alone, gun crime would go way down.
