1) Number of guns is irrelevant. Your opinion on how many guns you think there should be is just that your opinion. Fact is guns in society has increased the last 30 years while violent crime and gun crime has declined since a peak in the 80s. 2nd amendment gives you a right to bear arms and create an independent of the federal government militia. Its intent was to have guns so infused in society that attempts of the government to tyranize the people would be checked.
2) There should be a limit because a few people own the most guns? So again why should that mean there should be a limit? If you don't want a lot of guns don't buy them, but the US government has no power to limit a person buying anything, let alone guns, and you still haven't proven how someone owning guns is a danger to society. If you checked your stats, you'd know most criminals who commit gun crimes get their guns illegally, so making it harder for legal citizens to get guns will have no impact on criminal behavior, because guess what, they don't follow the law anyway.
3) Guns have locks that come with them that go through the ejection port down the magwell that stops them from being loaded and from cycling. This has been the norm since the 90s. You are now arguing for the norm. You don't even know this because you have no idea about buying guns legally in this country, and its very apparent. You are literally speaking from fear and ignorance.
4) Already addressed.
5) Not living in a fantasy land at all. People are educated in drinving cars and your argument is that doesn't work so we should ban people from buying cars right? Where is your call to ban the number of cars people can buy, and mandate more locks on cars to stop fools from driving them poorly? Oh you aren't doing that, probably because if you did you'd quickly be called reactionary and foolish for making those statements. I'd also add far more car deaths in this nation than gun deaths and the gun deaths are in the midst of another down cycle.
Why should people have to prove their ability to exercise their right to the government, when the prupose of the 2nd amendment is to take the ability of the government to limit firearm ownership? SMH
No people don't need a class unless they want one.
Education is optional, you want to know how to store and fire a gun, go to a class or read.
But I already knew you would use "education" as a backdoor ban, so thanks for confirming it with a 2000 dollar price tag for the ability to execute your right. SMH
I guess you are also an advocate for poll taxes that they used to keep black americans from voting, right? SMH
The US isn't germany, but it has less violent crime than the UK which mans guns outright, and typically in the US states and counties with the least amount of regulation on guns have lower crime rates than counties and states with higher hurdles to obtain them. On top of that, you can't stop stupid, so instead of trying to make all of us gun owners responsible for the idiots and criminals, you would be better off trying to attack the root cause of the vast majority of the gun violence. Drug prohibition. No war on drugs and you have a heavy drop in street violence in the US on the border and in the inner city. Your type don't want to do that though, you'd want to see black men and women have to go and appeal to whites, who don't give a damn about us, for the ability to protect ourselves. New age c00ning at its finest.
as we just mentioned above in order to drive a car, you have to prove that you are worth of owning/using one.
fukk man. I’m not built for that liveleak life no more
