I expect AR15's against the new XM5 will be found lacking. I expect 9MM against a M1 Abrams will be found lacking. On and On. Are you suggesting citizens should have Cruise missiles? Why not automatic weapons? Why not F35's? After all, if the constitution - specifically the 2nd amendment - wants to be sure the populous can take back a rogue government , then it would seem to follow the citizens should be allowed to be equally armed. Let's look at Ukraine - are we sending them civilian weapons? No, we are depleting our military arsenal because they do not have enough weapons locally capable of defending against a modern military. So, unless you want access to Cruise, M1 Abrams, F35's and more, your argument is some what lacking. I will completely agree there are many places in the US where a person may need a weapon to protect themselves and their loved ones. I have NO problem with that, or them. I question the need of a citizen to have 1,000 to 5,000 weapons stashed in the survival bunker. I question the need for a private citizen to own and M1 Abrams. Do you? |

Thank you for a suggestion. I place this in the we shall, as opposed the the loud voice of we shall not. We shall gets things done, we shall not feels good and accomplishes close to nothing. |

However, your statement: "Compare the two. Obviously, Texas is very afraid of people driving on their streets, but if you want to kill children - no so hard". is inflammatory and does nothing to help move the needle forward. Is it a good idea to own a firearm and not get some sort of training? No, as tragic accidents can and do happen. Do you think these monsters care If a training requirement is an impediment to acquiring a gun legally? They have already decided to break the law, so what is to prevent them from acquiring a gun illegally?

.........More readily available guns equate to MORE gun deaths and crime. To understand how big and BAD the US situation has become - you just need to look at a chart comparison showing gun deaths per 100,000 citizens for ALL the world's countries. Ry far, the US has the MOST ! |

And finally, thank you for helping make more responsible gun owners. I completely support responsible gun ownership. I have no desire to own one, but I understand and respect responsible gun owners. |

We are unique in that our Constitution enumerates our right to bear Arms which "shall not be infringed" upon (which current laws actually do).
Other countries do not have our Constitution. |

Not a cure, but a step - a little help. Imagine if these shooters were captured, and offered plea deals to give up their seller or get the death penalty. Then the illegal seller is charged with murder and hung. It would certain not stop illegal sales but again every little step helps. I saw a post early on in this thread that "at least he is dead, saves on the cost of the trail". I disagree with that. My personal favorite punishment for these murders would be publicly lowering them into a tree shredder feet first slowly. And stream the event on the Internet and require all OTA media to air live coverage with audio. Not very liberal of me - is it. |

Do you believe you should be allowed to own Nukes, Cruise missiles and M1 Abrams? Why not? That would certainly fit not being infringed on. |

Nicely put about the 2nd Amendment. And I believe that in that period in US History they meant a well-regulated militia's Right to Bear Arms and not so much individual settlers and towns people. They were afraid that people still loyal to England might take up arms again or some despot might take over the government which had happened often in Roman history which many learned men read.
