Why do Americans have guns?

Frequently USA shootings, always caused many deaths. Christmas from shooting up to now, the occurrence of a number of such shootings American, actually shooting for Americans already be accustomed to, but also become inured to the unusual life in American people things. When the event occurs, the Americans have not surprised. For the sad, go to church prayer is they need to do.
   There are often China friend asked me life Is it right? Not safe in America? In fact, if it is safe, I personally think that is a state of mind on the problem, I didn't think America what is not safe. On the contrary I think USA is a safe country, may I say, some people will say that I have a bias in favor of psychological USA, in fact not the case, I don't favour America what, a personal feeling, may not have America people, see a shooting incident USA often, will think USA is not a safe country, you think this is a normal phenomenon, but at least I think America not dangerous state, in which countries have crime occurs, even if the citizen has no gun, as well to the crime through other means, if every corner of the world are safe, I think that at least one occupation to permanent "unemployment", that the police.
   You may think, shooting USA often case, why not stop the flow of guns America? When it comes to guns USA, here refers to a "right" problem. America gun ownership is decided by people, not the federal government, that is to say whether citizens have the gun rights, is decided by referendum, instead of being dominated by the federal government. USA is the world's first, is a citizen only generally have the gun rights of the country against citizens generally have gun voice has already appeared, later met with strong protests the government also incapable of action, so the Americans generally gun rights phenomenon still exists to this day. Citizens generally have gun rights are protected America law, a well regulated militia is the guarantee of state security necessary for citizens to hold the rights and bear arms, shall not be infringed. That is to say security government comes from the people, safeguard state rights from the people and every state, in order to prevent the generation of a strong central government, prevent foreign invasion, to prevent the emergence of authoritarian regimes, to prevent the emergence of the military dictatorship forces, ensure the thought of freedom of speech, freedom of religious belief freedom of the press, media, free elections, the advantage of this is to establish a powerful government, eliminate the restriction of personal freedom of the government, the country to establish the first line of defense to prevent abuse of authority in the rights of the individual basis, I want to say, you may understand, this
Is democracy and human rights American.
Democracy and human rights is fighting against the Americans, neutralization, weaken the attempt to establish a minority of state, government and highly centralized efforts and tendency of the results. Is a high spiritual civilization USA victory. If say Washington is the father of America, then Jefferson is the father of the USA democratic Washington American become a independent country, one of the most developed and emerging countries. Jefferson made American become a democracy, a new type of country. Any management measures have advantages and disadvantages. Two hundred years later, America produced no dictatorship, did not have the military dictatorship, no elite monopoly of the government, did not produce an unlimited right of the central government.
    The provisions America constitution, although people generally have a gun, but not arbitrarily use right. Citizens have a gun, I think that is a kind of trust problem, fundamentally believe most of the people, whether citizens need to do? Citizens have self rights, citizens have not abolished the establishment, management, right to control and change of government? Citizens have against tyranny and resist foreign invasion force, social stability and development is to rely on the broad masses of the people still rely only on a small number of people? If citizens are generally not gun rights, that is equal to most people in the society have no gun rights, in these people, the lack of rational person and hellion is minority after all, highly educated people and a good man or a majority, prohibit citizens generally have the gun rights, is actually banned most good gun because of the inability to completely ban, a few bad men get guns illegally, also cannot do a few bad people never get to prohibit citizens generally have guns, gun rights, often the final result is: law-abiding people cannot legally to own and use firearms, not law-abiding people can get guns by other illegal means. Citizens have the right to bear arms, means any person of any organization, including government, soldiers are not the monopoly of violence privileges, can effectively prevent the very few people engage in despotism.
    America has become one of the most developed the comprehensive strength of world military, education, culture, science and technology, economic and other countries; USA has become a national excellent social welfare; America has become a middle class as the main body, a large number of rich donations to public welfare undertakings of the country; USA has become the most attractive and most inclusive a nation of immigrants in the world; American has become nearly two hundred years of civil war and civil strife in the world the most stable state; USA has become one of the most open in the world's biggest country of liquidity; USA has become the highest in the world of democracy and rule of law in countries......
    America have today's prosperity and development, I think with stable and strong is a great relationship. Said so much to USA political aspects of citizens generally have gun rights issue, again with the same topic will transfer to the view of life. I quite agree with citizens generally have gun rights, the reason is very simple, that is the personal self. When America school shooting occurred, both parents told children must take the gun to self-defense, it is simply a manifestation of a right in life. In America such a popular saying: where there is no way, you must not be entered. The reason is very simple, it is private property, accidentally shot, you will "die". When all of a sudden people encountered violent and personal threats in the daily life, can enhance the confidence and ability to protect the gun people. When it comes to American reported shooting case, most of the offenders finally choose is to end to end the whole case. In fact, the assailant, not intentional act, they caused the shootings because of many reasons, this is a very good description of the reason people are not using guns at random, although the citizens right to own guns to USA society brings some problems, but these shootings occurred, rather than the autocratic government, military dictatorship, civil war were destroyed on the problems of the people, it is not worth mentioning, USA from millions of people at the beginning of the Republic, today has 3 billion population superpower can not be said to America democracy and ancestors rich have farsightedness, this is a very successful measures,
    Through the above discussion, I think everybody also understand how much the why Americans can have guns, welcome to the profound comments.
