High school shooting in Parkland FL

[CapnAwesome]

It would make for a bloodbath. Considering that is what control is supposed to be preventing, I cant wrap my head around the logic of gun confiscation in the U.S. People like to think of these militias as a bunch of Billy Bob hillbillies playing pretend red dawn in the words, but watch the Vice documentary on them. Many are well trained, well armed, ptsd suffering ex marines. Swat might not be able to handle that, the national guard might not be that willing, and is that really a reasonable solution by any measure?

I was searching the Google and found a quora question with a bunch of NRA folks talking about what they would do if the government busted down their doors to take their guns, obviously it's not a pretty picture. https://www.quora.com/What-would-happen-...ll-private

People who advocate this haven't thought it through at all, especially if the goal is to prevent gun violence.  You are going to trigger the craziest gun violence ever .

It doesn't have to be most people.   One tenth of one percent of gun owners in the US is 30,000 people. Gun confiscation is not a viable solution and creates a problem many many times the magnitude of what you are trying to solve. Mental health care and mental health screening is the solution.  It's easier, cheaper, more politically viable. You can get many gun owners on board with it. It wont cause a terrible bloodbath.

Suffering ex-marines should not be let to own or carry a gun. Why ? Maybe because they are not mentally stable wich comes to to psychological evaluation wich should be mandatory before trying to aquire a weapon. An evaluation wich can be easily implemented.
Now my argument of stressors doesn't aplly to ex marines , it is still valid for most USA citizens who haven't taken a life.

It doesn't matter what your argument is, since those people still own guns. Can't pretend like they don't in order to justify your argument.

Maybe not shoot up a school specifically.  But shoot up places, yeah for sure. Besides, do you feel like they are mentally stable people with predictable behavior?

You tell me - YOU'RE the one predicting their behavior.

It would be a bloodbath. I base that on what the gun nuts themselves are saying. Read the link. Watch the Vice documentary on militias. Think about pure numbers. 1 tenth of 1 percent of gun owners is 10,000 people. So confiscation would not go well. No way in hell.

Tell me why you think it would. Im curious.
