All Hail the Second Amendment

See I do not buy any of this. You cannot realistically destroy all those guns, therefore regardless if they are illegal they WILL be attained either through black market or stealing. This is the thing, yes it makes it easier to massacre. However, wasting time on banning the guns is only letting the host of other issues get worse. I mean I hear people complain a lot, what I want is people to stop working their jobs and actually protest. However, people are too stupid and desperate to notice we can strive for a better life.

For someone in favor of striving for a better life you sure seem intent on not getting started on this one.

Fair assertion, I just do not see the need to ban guns or any weapon. I live in a part of the US where having a gun generates security, Louisiana has the one of the highest gun crime rate and majority are guns with the serial numbers scratched off.

The point is the solution is psychological and societal. If you do not believe me, then explain states with similar gun ownership as Louisiana having basically one gun related death a year? Canada even has decent gun ownership and they do not suffer the same ills. The point is simple, I do not see the need nor waste of resources to take away or severely limit guns when the solution is better attain through science and sociology.

@Minimalist, so what about hunters? I think ammo restrictions would be a better compromise than out right banning.

So answer me this, how do you regulate the government then? An unarmed society is easily bullied you know. Not that really matters considering they have an air force and armor.

My starting point would be keep them out of psychos. For example, myself if my depression lead me to nearly commit suicide. I think my right to have a gun should be waive for a year or so until deemed fit for one. I can agree with that, and that is reasonable. Second, is to possibly have ammo restrictions to a certain extent even towards police. Then from there start actually treating people with mental health issues, and oh how about tackling the stresses that cause people to snap?

I am a reasonable person and I understand first hand (yes witnessed two gun crimes) that there needs to be something done. However, since I lived in cities where there were gun restrictions and ammo restrictions. Regulations alone will not work.
