Rather than start a new thread about the second amendment and gun control I thought it would be better to ask this question here.
Obviously there are mixed opinions about gun control, but what do you think is the ideal solution to the legality issues surrounding guns right now?
Personally I have no strong feelings either way just because I think both sides of the argument have strong points to consider.
Do you think all guns should be illegal to buy or just a certain level of firepower?
I've noticed people who are against gun ownership tend to also not trust the police either, but then if citizens can't carry guns that just leaves the police you don't trust with guns. Or you could just slowly disarm everybody so it's a bit like England where generally all police are unarmed except for the armed response units and other exceptions.
But then this might be a problem in America just because of the amount of powerful guns already out there, if the police and law abiding citizens suddenly decided to disarm or use inferior firepower that would leave a lot of the superior firepower in the hands of criminals.
I don't like the idea of guns being legalized in England where I live, but with America's culture I think it might be problematic to suddenly change the legality of guns in a major way. A definite sensible idea I think the vast majority agree with is that gun sales should be more carefully regulated.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
