When has any prominent politician suggested a plan even remotely close to doing that. She doesn't want to ban your fucking guns, and yeah, I think law enforcement agents and the Secret fucking Service should be more armed than the average citizen. Otherwise we may as well give every American citizen an assault rifle and do away with police departments. Let it play out, see what happens.
I live in France so, I am just giving an opinion. The pro-gun crowd are either rednecks, those who listen to gangster rap and do fuck all for a living except sponge off the government and then there are the Hispanics, who do mean well by converting old cars in low-riders, which I kinda like and it is enterprising, however, they have a history of using guns too.
I can appreciate your sanity in looking from the outside at how far too many Americans worship guns like a god. But the issue is lack of good pay, not white people liking rap just to be edgy. Humans use guns, not just whites or blacks or Hispanics. And not all "rednecks" agree with our gun worship. My friend John lives in Oklahoma, grew up with guns, but knows, like I do that the NRA is bat shit insane and doing nothing now but protecting another corporate profit.
We do in America however, have, just like Islam does, a very small paranoid minority that is just big enough to hold the rest of the country hostage. No, we are not a theocracy, but the only difference that makes us less violent is 200 plus years of secular law. Our white right wing would love nothing more than to be a Christian version of the middle east. Funny how both love religion and guns.
