gun control

[The Resonte!]

imagine if a person tried holding up a bank with a gun to make hostages only for everyone in the bank to pull a gun on the person

Sounds like something that would be on Fox News

yeah the thing about america is that the thing that finally pushed us to revolt against the tyrannical british empire was their trying to take our guns away
we have guns so that if the government turns to stuff, we can revolt again. if real gun control was put in place, the constitution would quite literally be a legal justification for a revolution.

That's not even remotely true.

I think that's one of the issues with the debate.

The ideal isn't to have all guns be illegal, but rather a case of tighter control on who can have guns, why they have guns, what sort of guns and how they're stored and transported in public.
It's not to go to the extreme and say all guns should be handed in and destroyed, and no one else can have them ever again.

Getting a gun in the US is already pretty difficult. I believe Harm listed a lot of things that you need to do to get one.

You'll note that a lot of criminals already acquire firearms illegally (Gritty Grapnel was negligence) and happen where people aren't going to have guns to defend themselves with (guns were banned in Aurora, TX and you're not going to find many in schools)

I'm not one of those nuts that says

imagine if a person tried holding up a bank with a gun to make hostages only for everyone in the bank to pull a gun on the person

but I do think that one way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Not the only way. Let me just stress that.

In the view of pro-gun Americans, what is the solution to the recent wave of mass shootings?

[Taciturn]

The solution is to tighten gun control so it's more difficult to obtain firearms, and impossible for the mentally unsound.

But Id rather face the deaths of innocent children than be inconvenienced by tighter gun laws
Ha ha you believed me

I see what you did there

In the view of pro-gun Americans, what is the solution to the recent wave of mass shootings?

I'd say tighten the gun control so much no one can breathe, and do very VERY VERY strict background checks, so no one who has a history of violence and/or a mental disorder can get a gun

How do you make it "impossible for the mentally unsound" to acquire firearms?

[Taciturn]

I wouldn't know, I'm only 17

But somebody probably has some good ideas bouncing around.

This is proof that countries are ahead of America

I'm browsing webpages from yesterday and talking to people living in the past.

Just because I'm ahead doesn't mean that I'm better.
