Banning guns does not mean they all despawn from existence. It didn't mean that with alcohol during prohibition, it didn't mean gold was no … morelonger able to be obtained when it was outlawed and confiscated by the government, and it doesn't mean drugs are unable to be obtained either. If guns were banned people would still acquire them, probably a group of people known as criminals, or law breakers if you will. The sort of people that don't follow the law, and therefore will have whatever outlawed substance or items they please, because they will still exist and still be trafficked.
As BBM already pointed out, that argument is now unfounded. To be honest, having a group of people with military grade weaponry is extremely dangerous and risks several things, especially if they dislike the government, then you have heavily armed terrorists on American soil. I'm not sorry to say that military grade weaponry should be banned from the public.
As the woman in the video stated: "The purpose of the 2nd amendment is so that average people can protect and defend themselves against the … moreGovernment if the it should ever turn tyrannical."
Hence it makes sense why so many buy Assault rifles and such.

All that gun control is going to do, is make it harder for the average Joe to acquire a gun.
It's not gonna stop the criminal from getting a gun.
The criminal be able to get one on the black market.
Government they were creating ever turned into another England, which at the time of the signing of The Declaration Of Independence, America had just ended a two-year war with.
Declaration of Independence = 1776
End of Revolutionary War = 1783
And for the record, if the government ever did turn on its people, I guarantee that a significant amount of soldiers would not attack their own people they swore to guard.
I was just merely acknowledging what the 2nd amendment is about.
And that is, it's basically a fail-safe that the founding fathers put in p… morelace, in case the Government they were creating ever turned into another England, which at the time of the signing of The Declaration Of Independence, America had just ended a two-year war with.

saying that you can only either have (little to) no gun restrictions or outright ban guns is a false dichotomy.
better background checks would go a long way to prevent a lot o gun crimes (and mass shootings, like the Dylan "bowl with no soul" Roof one) without necessarily giving the govt the power to disarm the population.

The US Gov is not going to turn tyrannical any time soon. There simply are far too many intitutions within it for one to even dream of consolidating power.

Not right now, but I've been there before, seen my fair share of shoot-outs and dead people, you know you've seen too much when a dead body does not incite any kind of reaction from you, like "Oh, it's just another dead body".
It's not that bad though I've just had bad luck due to my family being directly connected to stuff like that.
Yeah I saw this on the news this morning. The guy was a disgruntled employee of the station. It was pretty messed up. But you might want to remove the video because it violates this:
1.2 Don't post gross stuff. That covers images containing excess nudity or violence, and other material that could be considered offensive or NSFW.

There's a video from the shooter's perspective? I did not know that.
It's inevitable. I didn't want you to get in trouble nor did I want anyone who wouldn't watch that video in normal circumstances have to see it. Just seeing the thumbnail of the guy disturbed me.

Sad, that is why i carry a weapon with me wherever i go. My brother was a victim of violence, i am not going to be. I would have blasted him into outer space with a bombardment of 357 rockets.
Yeah, to be honest the one from the shooters perspective looks like something from a horror movie....
Yeah, I wasn't sure about it, (Yet, people can post far more disturbing shit)
As long as you have a gun license, or if you are trained properly to use guns, I don't think think that having a gun is a big problem. Fire weapons are still dangerous and you can get them pretty much anywhere. Heck, you can buy handguns in the souvenir shop in my country, so that is no suprise. I used to train with my dad with the rifle, but I am not much of a ranged shooter. I stick to the pocket knife in case of a emergency.

Why bother, in ohio you can carry openly. People don't fuck with you if they see you are carrying a gun. If everyone was carrying a weapon criminals would probably think about their choices before reacting.
Damn, what country do you live in?
I used to carry a knife, but now I wear a pair of these whenever it's cold enough not to be suspicious… more.
They're leather gloves with lead packed around the knuckles. One good punch or backhand and it's lights out.
How many more teenager must steal their fathers gun and kill 30 people before America understands that u can't let everyone buy a gun. You know ur country is fucked when orginazed crime is a part of ur culture.
Thanks, we love you too. Are all Europeans this edgy?
Also, organized crimes is a part of most cultures. It's an inevitable result of the public and private sector's inability or unwillingness to provide legal means of obtaining certain goods and services.

You are noticing this now? Its always been like this, Europeans think they're better than us. It is so easy to attack america, but when you need us to save you from yourselves , IE WW2, you come running.

here in Denmark where guns are banned, stuff like this pretty much never happens

I believe I should control the guns - Chloe from LIS 2015
Gold was banned?
And then serve time if he is caught with it.
Eugh, taat can't be easy. Hopefully you're not in a major Drug War area.
Wow thats it then..... case closed
Exactly, the tighter you choke people, the more they'll just step out the law.
Declaration of Independence = 1776
End of Revolutionary War = 1783

only stupid criminals get caught.
I can get a pistol from a guy i know 300 dollars no questions asked. Anytime i want.
Thankfully, a lot of criminals are pretty fucking stupid.

where does it say gold?

Well that's.... weird. I had no idea anything of the sort ever took place in the United States.

PREACH!
ye Shapiro is kinda awesome
he's pretty much on the opposite side of the political spectrum to me, but when someone's awesome, he's awesome.
Well shit, everyday's a school day.

There are a lot of smart criminals who don't get caught as well.
Why does this shit seem to happen ALL THE TIME now? I bet this is gonna bring up the topic of gun control again since it was live on the news....
Yeah I saw this on the news this morning. The guy was a disgruntled employee of the station. It was pretty messed up. But you might want to remove the video because it violates this:
The video from the shooters perspective is more fucked up. And I was mixed about posting the video...figured someone would bring up a rule.

Everyone should be allowed exactly one musket.
Exactly 7 tanks, 11 fighter jets, 15 RPGs, 74 miniguns and 4 nuclear missile codes. Anything more or less is an ABOMINATION!

But the teenager stole the gun, so that means he can't buy a gun when he didn't?
This isn't even for a major gun promoter. I'm more leaned into gun control. But that doesn't really make sense.
