An Uber driver with a concealed handgun prevented a mass shooting in Chicago

[Mr. Hurricane]

you think that if we take away guns that criminals still cant get them?

You can attempt to mitigate a percentage of guns that are purchased legally and used to carry out crimes. It's a start. Source

Aside from that you can close loopholes and fine people who illegally or underhandedly sell weapons. A brilliant idea would be to fine people who's weapons were not reported lost/sold if the weapon was last registered in their name, and the weapon was used in a crime.

The first step is to let the loving CDC investigate gun violence and weapon control, but I'll be forgeted if I see that by the end of the decade.

I persistantly fail to understand the THERE GON TAKE WAY OUR GUNS conspiracy, considering that you derive your right to firearms from the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Harder mental tests will fix the problem better than taking away all the guns

I'm not going to bother arguing as I've clearly seen that you're all gun-happy. Have fun shopping with kevlar.

dismissive

run into an argument without hostility and fair reasoning and you just shut us out when something is said contrary to your own opinion. For the record I'm Canadian I don't support guns but I don't have anything against restricting them either, I have an open mind about the subject and was trying to make conversation.

[Heedy]

Gun restriction would actually fix it. Take the firearms from the civilians and they won't be able to shoot up a building when their raise is denied.

And most importantly, the US' budget goes mainly into the military. This shouldn't happen much less with the amount of money inverted into the millitary.

As for your "honest citizen saved the day", the guy with the automatic rifle shouldn't have gotten it in the first place.

Criminal scum will always go against the law.

I don't know how someone could actually believe this sort of garbage. You act as if guns can only be obtained through legal measures, and that if they were banned, nobody could acquire any sort of weapon. Sort of like how France's gun laws prevented a terrorist attack, right? Your own quote disproves your argument,

oh come on now
if you actually provide any good reasons or solutions it will be worth more than you just saying "take away the guns"
we're not gun happy, we just have common sense

You seem not to realize that the majority of would-be criminals would not go to the ends required to get a weapon in a country with strict gun laws.

or just increase the number of requirements to actually get a gun to keep them away from idiots

"The first step is to let the loving CDC investigate gun violence"
let the center for disease control investigate guns?
what?

I never said that weapons could only be obtained via legal means but closing those legal means for non military will give you the certainy that it was obtained illegally.

Common sense would be the last thing an american would have after reading the paper on recent sueing.

[Lord Tony®]

You got to be careful though. There is a chance the hero will be confused with the shooter and the police will either shoot you or blame you for the crimes.

now you're generalizing the entire american population, and what are you talking about "recent sueing"?

It would be useful if you had to get a psych evaluation, at least for some weapons.

It falls under the CDC's purview to investigate gun violence and gun control, IIRC, but congress won't let them.

[Pastrey Crust]

I've been to the US. Many more times than you've left your country. I've been up north, west coast, east cosst, and the south. The vast majority are loving morons and complain about everything, yell "god bless america" under the slightest achievement and blame the immigrants for the slightest issue.

And although this Uber guy did what was right, it would've confuced the police, causing interference.

Edit: Think about this for a minute. Why have a police force if you're going to let your citizens defend themselves?
