I suppose you also agree that we need to stop bombing foreign countries and killing innocent children as well? Or are their lives not as important to you because they are not American?
That's so far from the topic, it takes light years to get there. Store-bought clouding of the issue with non-issues.
Ban the ammo. Collect all the guns you want, make ammo for assault rifles and pistols illegal for sale and private ownership under 10 year prison penalty. Put some teeth into the legislation.
You can have a shotgun for home defense (the best weapon for home defense), rifles for hunting, but ban private ownership of pistol and assault weapon ammunition. Licensed, inspected gun ranges can keep your stockpiled ammo and you can store shoot there. All bullets sold in this country should have a serial number to trace it through ownership and sale. Too expensive? Too bad.
Close the absurd loopholes that define an assault weapon, too.
"Well regulated militia"
If we're going to make the leap that the 2nd Amendment does not refer to a standing army and instead private citizens, "well regulated" means this country can decide which weapons are acceptable and which are not for private citizens.
"The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it."
Here's the problem: You cannnot play responsibily with your toys. Therefore, some of your toys will be taken away.
The opinions of THE MAJORITY is called DEMOCRACY.
It's amusing how fixated right wingnuts are with having things rammed down their throats.
Heres the problem.... Liberal tard reactionaries on this site ignoring the real problems like broken families and degenerate culture and just trying to ban things
It is sad how leftwing bedwetting lunitics ignore the problem
Mental illness has always been present as have lax gun laws in America.... but only recently (since the mid 90's) have mass shootings become commonplace. Culture is the problem and is the broken family unit
The majority supports the 2nd amendment ..... not the prostituting of children for your sick agenda by your ignorant media
Disgusting watching CNN and others sticking microphones in kids faces moments after the watched their friends gunned down..... disgusting
It isn't the rightwing that jumped on the latest tragedy here to push their agenda when we should be thinking of healing and helping those poor families

The MAJORITY of gun owners DO play responsibly.
What you are advocating is tyranny.
As for the majority, I think you might want to take a poll before you jump that your conclusion that most Americans want to "take away" guns. Most VOCAL isn't necessarily MOST.
Another post showing how immature lefties truly are.

I think lawyers could make a case of the current definition of well-regulated.
Removing weapons and tools of mass slaughter should be the priority.

Waaaahhhhh! Tyranny!
The "they want to take away all our guns!" argument is a foolish strawman. There is room for a common sense, serious reform.
Sorry, too many nutjobs have access to weapons of mass slaughter. Things will change.
