I'm in favor of completely banning ALL firearms. I'll acknowledge that I know nothing about the different ways to customize guns. As someone who knows a lot about guns, what would you propose as a reasonable compromise to banning them entirely?Same weapon. Differences in hand grips and look means nothing unless you are completely uninformed about firearms.
No he was killed by the person. The rifle doesn’t kill without a user.
education but Even with that you will never eliminate murders completely. People find ways to kill each other since Cain killed Abel. Education with a higher focus on mental health focus. With my children they do not touch my weapons as I have them all locked except one when I go to bed (under my pillow and is never more than arms length away) When they accompany me to shoot they have to state to me all the safety rules because you are responsible for every bullet that leaves your barrel.
I really appreciate your question btw. Ty.
And a car does not kill without a driver. But when you get behind the wheel, you create an entirely new car-and-driver gestalt entity with a new psychology -- e.g., it always wants to go fast, even when you are in no particular hurry to reach a destination. And when a gun is in your hand, gun-and-user always wants to fire it.
It sounds like you'd support tighter restrictions about where firearms can be stored. How about this: Firearms must be stored at a licensed armory and their owners must sign them out when they want to use them. If the customer of a licensed armory commits a crime with their weapon, the armory is financially responsible and could lose their license.
The rate of murder is lower in countries like Japan and the UK that have entirely effective gun control. British cops don't even carry guns -- don't need to, because the people they arrest don't have them either. Not even the outlaws have guns. And they do not often kill with knives, either.
No I don’t. But possibly looking at criminal charges for not being responsible as we saw a few times last year.
America has too many cars and too many guns. Drivers routinely ignore traffic laws. What works is narrowing streets to make it scary to drive fast.

what do you do in the morning? Wake up then decide to prove that you can be more brain dead than the day before?Civil liability for gun manufacturers would be more effectual than that.
That's trivial compared with U.S. figures.
We know we'll never prevent all gun crimes, but even cutting the number in half would save millions of lives.
There are a lot of other solutions that would save millions of lives but yet not outraged about and aren’t a Constitutional right either. The U.S. isn’t like any other country like it or not.
The U.S. is nothing exceptional. It's just a country, like others, not a city on a hill.The U.S. isn’t like any other country like it or not.
Constitution says otherwise. Have a good day.
And also, if that was the case, why do millions risk dying to try to get into the country?
We know that some restrictions on private guns are Constitutional. Let's impose a few more to cut down on the huge number of people who are wounded and killed each year.There are a lot of other solutions that would save millions of lives but yet not outraged about and aren’t a Constitutional right either. The U.S. isn’t like any other country like it or not.
No, we don’t know their constitutional they’re not. The constitution for the second amendment, says shall not be infringed. It is the only amendment that has that in it. It is too easy for the Supreme Court eventually down the road to overturn all those.
Because ASSAULT WEAPONS like the AR-15 are MILITARY-STYLE and TOO DANGEROUS FOR CIVILIAN USE!
I have never used an A.R. 15 in the military
