This thread is simply going to circle the same old arguments, and once again nothing will change.

You're right. But, then again, threads are composed of opinions, and expectations that they will change laws are optimistic. The OP initial comment offers an opinion which is not an extreme but is His. Wouldn't it be interesting to see other opinions? I tend to agree with his.
I was on an educational trip to Cuba several years ago, and our tour guide extolled the fact that Cuba's record regarding gun violence was outstanding because they were not allowed to have guns. My thoughts went to, why no guns. Part of that thought went back to the overthrow of the government (Evil as it was) by an element that took over all and made their own laws for distribution of assets. Were their gun laws made to save people or to protect their existence. Observing the status of Cuba at the time, I had to say I was glad I did not live there. My opinion!
Has nothing to do with 2nd Amendment, or does it? Greater minds than mine have argued for years.
