High school shooting in Parkland FL

[CapnAwesome]

I don't know how anybody can think there would be a voluntary handover of guns in the U.S. without mass violence.

I don't think it would be as bad as you think. People who legally own guns are obviously law-abiding citizens. Those who don't won't be asked to hand over their guns anyway because no one knows they have them. Do I think you'd see some Waco shit in a few scattered areas? Sure, but you have to remember that other countries have done it without as much to-do as you're predicting. Again, I don't think taking away people's guns is necessarily the correct answer. We haven't exhausted other options. Fuck, we haven't even tried them.

Read the links of what nra members say they would do.

What motherfuckers say they're going to do and what they actually do when faced with authority are two different things. Bitches be cowards more often than not. No one wants to give up their cushy life sitting in front of FOX news so they can get shot by the NG. Myself included.

It's like people want it both ways, they demonize the gun advocates as gun nuts and at the same time say they would peaceably hand over their guns. I mean, that makes no sense.

Well, I've said neither. I've only said that you were making vets with PTSD look like a gaggle of fucking lunatics. They're just like anyone else with an anxiety disorder. They don't *usually* want to stir shit. They want their guns, but they don't want to get into shootouts with the cops, either. I mean, you're speaking for a huge number of people, and you're speaking as if they're just one confiscation away from taking down the world. They're not Rambo. They're just dudes who like to sit with their backs to the wall facing the entry.

I'm just going to respond to the last bit, because it's late here, but I definitely didn't do that. In fact I was replying to someone else who heavily impled he had a neighbor who would not give up his guns. Take it up with him, not me.

Its not neccesarily about ptsd vets, but really all kinds of various militiamen and gun advocates. I used the ptsd example because thats one of the people in the militia in the vice documentary. I highly doubt thay guy would go down without bloodshed. My point still stands, people are like "these gun nuts are crazy, but they will voluntarily give up their guns to the government they are paranoid about."

I definitely wouldn't risk my safety on that bet.

I wish people would read the link or watch the documentary I suggested. But as usual listening to the other side is too much work for most.
