as long as it's heavily regulated. background checks, mag caps, no automatics, the works
Does that include 3 round burst rifles? If not then I'm getting a M16A4.

EDIT: I really want Automatic rifles to be within reach of civilians.

Criminals will always be able to get their hands on guns. By outlawing guns you just take guns away from civilians and give them to criminals.

plus how many murders would happen if everyone had prior gun training AND they were armed?

I think Civilians should be allowed to buy automatic guns, because of the second amendment. However, people should have to have extra training for them, and a personality test.

you can

but good luck getting a license for one.

that's already in place. you can apply for a class 3 license, but it's an absolute bitch to get, which should deter most people who want to use it for bad bad things.

Still about capital punishment (sorry about breaking the gun topic)

Let's play a little thought experiment. Let's say there is this hypothetical country where the punishment for murder is death, and restraining laws are rather ineffective if non-existent.

Now time for two (fictional, but somewhat realistic) case studies:

Case study A:

Sharon is a 56 years old mother of two living in a lower-class neighbourhood. She's been married to Henry for 34 years. Their marriage is an unhappy one, however, since Henry is an alcoholic and has violent tendencies, meaning he tends to beat Sharon and they tend to argue a lot.
One day, after Henry arrives home late after a massive drinking session intoxicated, Sharon scolds Henry for coming home drunk again, for which Henry threatens to beat her. Sharon scolds her again for wasting all the money on alcohol, to which Henry replies:
"What are you going to do about it, kill me?" haughtily.
"I will!" cries back Sharon and grabs a knife.
"Do it, bitch!" shouts Henry, and a few moments later he was stabbed to death by Sharon.

Case study B:

Jerome is an adolescent boy from a poor family. His environment was very violent, many people he knew or grown up with was later victim to some form of violence.
One night he goes on to break into a house where only an old lady resides. As he was in her bedroom looking for her jewellery, he made too much noise which woke up the old lady. When the puzzled lady was to confront him, he killed her so he could get away.

Both committed murder. Both would be sentenced to death. And by your logic, it would be right if both were executed.
But if you paid attention to Case study A, it was only matter of sheer dumb luck that Henry became the victim and not Sharon.

What I wanted to reflect upon is that you keep treating all sorts of murders the same.


GUNS ARE AMAZIN'!
DEY MAEK US AMURICANS!


Having the murderer of someone also die after the murder, I believe would be wrong, as it ends yet ANOTHER life that was not required to be ended.

Oh, and I would want to torture a murderer before death, if possible.

Topic 2
People should be allowed to own Auto weapons and not require a Concealed Carry.
That bad guys break the rules, That just leaves us helpless and at the mercy of the guy w/ the gun. Also, The 2nd never said anything about Gun Control.

the amendments can be changed. if they wanted it to be written in stone, they would've written it in stone. people are allowed to own automatics, they just need to go through a stuffload of licensing first

The amendments were made in stone. The founding fathers set them up because they knew the government would grow and try to screw over their people. Without this, Private Schmo would live in your haus, The cops could break in whenever, Guns would be illegal, They could taze you in the nose for lokking at somone funny, and much more.
