The thought of ridding America of guns is about as likely as getting rid of all the automobiles.

Too late now. Every sociopath and jihadist has an order in for one after this weekend.

True wealth is reserved for those with talent and skills that most do not possess. That's a fact now and will always be a fact. But a good life with plenty of money is available to anyone who makes good decisions.
I'm glad you are proud of it.

I disagree with you and I'm ashamed of it.

We're both free to see this differently.

Have a nice day.

The United States of America is not your house. GET OVER IT!

We are not Canada and do not need your laws or system of government in this country. We are a Constitutional Republic, not a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy such as you are.

You like your system of government, fine. How would you like it if we started demanding that you change it to suit ours?
You seem to have difficulty in understanding that conversations on the internet, and someone actually interfering with US policies, are two different things.

Let me break it down for you.

PEOPLE DISCUSS ALL SORTS OF TOPICS OUTSIDE THEIR POLITICAL JURISDICTIONS ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY ON INTERNET FORUMS.

Jobs aren't constitutionally protected rights. Speech and guns are.

Knowledge and technology are out there, in the public domain. There are dozens of resources on the regular web that give detailed instructions on all sorts of bad things. FFS, McVeigh got a good chunk of his idea out of a single book. Do we outlaw books and knowledge too?


Yes, it is such a simple tool that banning it will be probably be pointless but, hey, this will make the antis feel better...


We could also ban blue jeans.....

CLOSE THE IRON PIPELINE.
Not going to work. People love guns in America. No more guns manufactured after a certain time? That will just create a black market. We already have felons who can't get guns, but get them anyway. Some people are gunsmiths and know how to build guns from scratch. And a strong buyback program will not stop people who are adamant about keeping their guns.

True, people who are determined to kill, will kill. But why would one go on the Internet to learn to build a bomb when they can just steal a gun? Why would I walk, roller skate, skateboard, bicycle, Uber, taxi, bus, train, or ride an airplane to get from Point A to Point B when I can just jump in my car? Few things kill as many innocents easier and quicker than a gun. People who are determined to kill, will kill, but nothing makes killing a no-brainer like a gun.
