Well - kids are playing ego shooter games since decades...

Around the world...

Could you explain WHY mass shootings mostly happen just only in USA?
And already 15 events in US SCHOOLS THIS year - huh?

This has nothing to do with 2nd amendment - sorry!

You can predict with 100% accuracy an American’s stance on 10 entirely diverse topics just by asking them one question.

That alone is shocking and should give you pause to examine yourselves.

I think you find that gun ownership spans the gambit liberal, conservative democratic, republican.

I notice one post earlier made a several blanket statements regarding someone that supports gun ownership and received several likes. I think everyone wants try to classify people or identity politics, It contributes to the problem polarizing people.

I know it is hard because that is the way our brains are design to work, to classify things and people. But I think you find someone that supports gun ownership can be a democrat that adamantly supports Net Neutrality, and gay rights like myself.

gun ownership would definitely span many people. but i see that as a red herring. if you ask about tighter gun control, which is what people are actually debating, you will get partisan answers.

are you saying there is a debate about whether people should be able to own guns at all? thats pretty extreme!

The post I responded to mentioned "take ammunition of the market"
A gun has no use without ammo other than a paper weight and would essential limit someone ability to bear arms ergo the second amendment.

The historical setting for the second amendment does have meaning, during a time period when America was formed from a tyrannical ruling authority. Does that have meaning today? You betcha, imagine the US government imposing tyrannical rule on people with 300+ million weapons. Well good luck with that

Have you seen Syria? That's how assault rifles and significant foreign intervention fares against conventional, aerial bombardment. Our federal government has, at its disposal, thermonuclear warheads, cruise missiles, aircraft equipped with radar and infrared evasion, unmanned weaponized drones, none of which an AR-15 is effective against.

I agree with your sentiment and would suggest instead that we should allow private ownership of Patriot missile systems. A Patriot missile also makes it a lot more difficult for a mentally unstable person to kill a whole classroom of children, because you can't just drive a Patriot battery to a school without alerting law enforcement; you need at least $2M to buy one; it actually requires proper operator training; and it's easier to regulate legal ownership of it. Moreover, it's completely safe to keep a Patriot missile system at home in your backyard where it belongs, and no one should stop you from going hunting with a Patriot missile or using one for self-defense.

i see. i guess gun and ammo are interlinked. so in reference to ammunition, is someone suggesting to remove all ammo from sale?

and even if noone is proposing that, are you are indicating that you want not just 'some' ammo, but as much ammo as you want, in case of a civil war?

just FYI, this civil war argument, if that is the base of your stance on gun control, is actually a good example of what i was saying earlier where it actually does split 100% by democrat/republican.
