June 14, 201610 yr Is that on Netflix? In all seriousness our nation needs to examine every option. Good and bad. Making me gunless while criminals will be armed is a bad idea. What's your plan to get all the guns from criminals legally and illegally owned. Get every single one of those first then you can discuss taking law abiding citizens weapons. Maybe you can just offer them ice cream and cake if they turn in their guns. It may not be the perfect world we all want, but some of us realize the world we are in. We are past the point of gun control. The US government is the biggest legal and illegal arms dealer in the world. But I can't have one. Sheesh. Fast and furious ring a bell ? Air America?
June 14, 201610 yr Both good examples of when disarming groups went wrong. What about more modern examples of strict gun control? France.
June 14, 201610 yr I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may get shot before I can pull the trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child's life. No, if I die it will be in a pile of spent shell casings. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I will keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too... #prayfororlando #ISUPPORTTHE2ND Gun owner
June 14, 201610 yr France. Great example.. How many dead? How is France a great example? Per New York Times, "Last year’s Paris attacks killed 130 people, which is nearly as many as die from gun homicides in all of France in a typical year. But even if France had a mass shooting as deadly as the Paris attacks every month, its annual rate of gun homicide death would be lower than that in the United States."

Gang, drug violence and suicides account for over 3/4 of all gun deaths in the USA. Work on those. That ought to keep you busy for a while. I'm still waiting for you to tell me how you're getting all the illegal criminally owned guns first. What's the plan. If your serious you have a plan right? Please don't tell me it's the normal rhetoric without substance. Disarming a country is a big job. How do we start? Remember my guns are last so my family is safe. Then I'll comply.
June 14, 201610 yr France has among the most restrictive gun control laws on the planet. How did that work out as a terror deterrent?
June 14, 201610 yr Both good examples of when disarming groups went wrong. What about more modern examples of strict gun control? David Koresh and the Branch Davidion compound.

How did that work out as a terror deterrent? According to many it ain't working here either. Putting Gun Death Statistics in Perspective Hate to add some facts and figures to the discussion. Are these stats supposed to be pro gun? To me it just shows how irresponsible we are with them.
