don't ban them just regulate them more

 

Definitely don't ban guns entirely. It would be wiser to restrict automatic and semi-automatic weapons from being purchased. There's just too much damage that those weapons can cause. The mental health of the person buying the gun should also be evaluated before they are allowed to buy a gun.

 

If it were possible to ban guns in the US, they probably would. However, this pesky amendment "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" (second amendment) so they're definitely not going flat out ban guns.

However, the US Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, banned the purchasing and selling of semi-automatic and automatic rifles (The ones used in the vast majority of public shootings). However, this law expired in 2004, and has yet to be renewed. So, I think a good first step would be renewing this law, and then going from there.

You're right, mental health evaluations just to purchase a gun would be impractical. But, I do think you're on the right track with monitoring those who have a history of mental health issues, and restricting their access to purchasing guns.

 

its sad rly...
idk how he got so many shots of..
there's no full auto in a BUILDING

 

honestly why not ban all guns

 

yeah well theres also the amendment about not quartering soldiers...

the constitution has a lot of things in it that were relevant in 1776 but not at all applicable today (our guns cannot defend ourselves from the united states military lol) along with some things (like quartering soldiers) that is quite frankly completely irrelevant to today

people keep throwing around the constitution without realizing the RIGHT to bear arms is a RIGHT that can most definitely be taken away

 

gun laws in us are fine lol

 

Considering that you're able to order a f***ing minigun from certain shops who don't really care about the law something should probably be done xd

 

That's why I brought up the assault rifles ban, which was designed to solve what you brought up about the amendment being outdated, without completely restricting the right to bear arms. There's really no reason for people to own weapons like that when they are capable of killing massive amounts of people with very little effort. However that ban on assault rifles hasn't been renewed. If it were to be renewed it could seriously help lower mass shootings.

 

The main problem is high-capacity magazines being freely available along with easy bump stocks or just plain automatic weaponry.
I still think the current situation could be far, far worse, as callous as this sounds. Nobody has started using custom glass shotgun shells or incendiary rounds or anything.

 

people use guns to kill people
therefore guns kill people
if we ban guns
people will not have them to kill people
thus people will not use guns to kill
because they don't have them

inb4 right wing troll says massacres will occur with baseball bats and ping pong balls - imagine 'the great ping pong ball massacre: 3 injuries and a trip to the principal's office' haha

it isn't funny. this is a matter of life and death. want to stop school shootings? remove the weapon.

 

knife crime is rising

 

ban knives. will have to cook with rubber forks very sharp sticks

 

guns shouldn't be given to people from the "****hole" countries
and shouldn't be given to mentally ill people.
that is how to fix americans gun problem.
