Stupid question and false dichotomy. Two mass shootings in Alabama have been prevented by men in their seventies with concealed carry permits. A mass shooting last June in West Virginia was stopped when a woman took her pistol out of her pocketbook and killed the shooter.
How many of these shootings have been committed by people on psychotropic drugs? Maybe that’s the issue we need to deal with.
With all the chronics out there, the Honolulu police being as useless as condoms in a convent, and pantywaist, milquetoast judges who release the small handful of people HOD arrests, the last thing I want to do is disarm myself!
Also, over 100 million people were murdered in the 20th century by their own governments. I feel safer without them having a monopoly on guns.
Helmut Schmidt - perhaps the greatest post war German leader had stated that a democratic society will NEVER surrender to terrorists (addressing internal, and also external terrorism)
He was a 'social democrat' by the way.
My worldly interpretation: fuck them hard wherever you find one.
How do you keep these nuts from getting guns illegally, any more than you can prevent them from getting illegal drugs, fireworks, or anything illegal for that matter? Even if guns are outlawed they will still get them, because they don't care about laws and can go outside of law to obtain what they need. Also with over 200 million guns in the US, getting rid of them would be an impossible task.
Can’t you just ban guns from violent young guys?

You leftists really love your lockdowns, don’t you?
No, we are not giving up our freedom of association (First Amendment) or our right to bear arms (Second Amendment), especially not because done leftist unimaginatively sets up a completely false binary choice.
We want our freedoms, and we do not want your soul-destroying prison society.
How about bringing back residential metal health asylums instead of allowing mentally deranged violent people to integrate into the general population?
Fine get rid of public events, because you can’t get rid of guns it’s impossible under the constitution of the United States. Find another solution that doesn’t involve taking away gun rights form millions of law abiding Americans. Government Come for the guns they will be shot Virtually is going to willingly give up there guns. See what happens if you want civil war come after guns.
I'm just still waiting for the good guy with a gun to stop a mass shooter before he murders people and wounds dozens more.
This country has become a legit mockery. Little Kids get murdered at school, people minding their own business get murdered at a grocery store, people riding the subway get shot at randomly, people at a Christmas parade get runned over by a truck and now people celebrating a national holiday get blasted as well. Insanity.
You have toi be fucking retarded to fail to see that your government is doing this to you and giving up your guns and giving them what they want is not going to chance your situation for the better.
Get some fucking brain cells and grow some balls.
GOP Gov candidate Darren Bailey tells us to just “move on” after the Highland Park shooting
TX AG Ken Paxton suggests to grieving Uvalde parents that the shooting was part of “God’s plan”
Ohio Republicans call a 10-year-old being raped an opportunity
Heartless sons of bitches, all of them.
That would not even be an option because the government doesn't get to decide what rights we have. I don't give a fuck what fake actors on TV or in a robe say. They are not getting the guns plain and simple. Anybody who owns an AR15 in the U. S. is never going to give it up and Thank God for that because every government who disarmed their people ended up killing them. Just look at history.
Age restrictions on the ability of American Citizens to be 21 years or older to legally qualify for purchase of assault weapons such as AR15/M16 and AK47 assault weapons. To the best of my knowledge whitetail deer and Elk don't wear body armor and shoot back during hunting season Lmao
Neither... in past decades there were guns and people didn't open fire in public places. The problem is not access to guns, but society. We need to take a serious look at why people WANT to injure or kill large groups of people.
Ban the police, and mandate everyone has a gun. Stop being pussies and shoot back.
It would be easier if they got rid of the damn guns but you know they won’t because of all these crazy folks. Watch them come for me in the comments.
This mindset is what happens when you leave decisions to brain-dead leftists with delusions of total power and the fantasy of total security.
You're more likely to be killed by a cop than a mass shooter so maybe we should be focusing on cops instead of randoms?
Taking away guns or taking away public events is stupid.
We don't have to get rid of all guns.
That is a false argument.
Neither will change anything. What a poorly considered question.
You cannot easily or peacefully get rid of either one. People will give up their children before giving up their guns, and we all know how well people tolerated avoiding public events because of Covid.
How about you just defend yourself, and stop giving criminals such an advantage?
Other countries do just fine with both. The US has a violence problem, not a gun problem
Nope. In that case you better ban all cars since they are involved in more deaths by far.
Didn't they raise the age for certain guns to 21 lol.
Not funny but they refuse to address the issue.
It's not the guns 100% lf the time and if people keep ignoring I. It's gonna keep happening
