There has always been someone that wants to use guns and technology for mass murder. You may think banning guns is good now, but you'd probably change your mind if government falls apart and is taken over by a sinister force. We can't go back to the stone age, criminals would refuse to do that.
Once again, and I'll speak very slowly because you don't seem to understand English very well, where have I asked to ban anything?
Hmmmmm?
I believe many gun owners, especially those I find on CD to be neanderthals.
The more I read the posts here, the more inclined I ma to start beieving in gun bans.
I don't want most of you in possession of deadly weapons.
That's okay I'm gonna go ahead and grab my genitalia, crack open a Budweiser and sing 'Proud to be an American'.....while loading up a few more rounds of ammo(I reload my own shells, ya know?). Gotta be ready for the British invasion. Them redcoats shall not prevail!
I found a copy of Ted Nugent's "Kill it and Grill it" in the back of the thrift store I can give you to compliment that

Put security in schools. They are even at the damn DMV!
That is an interesting point. I was walking past Macy's the other day and there was security. Armed security.
Our kids are worth more than Macy's merchandise. But I wonder if the presence of armed security in schools would produce an atmosphere of fear (not saying I think that is a reason not to have security, but it could be a reason they don't have it in most schools). Also, lots of schools are strapped financially. Some can't even afford librarians. I doubt that an armed guard would be budgeted in, even if its a good idea. However, if a guard or two was in fact employed at every school think of all the new jobs that would be created!
Then on the downside, you would have to screen every one of them intensely to make sure THEY don't snap, in a school, since they are armed.

The screening process wouldn't need to be anymore stringent than any other armed security guard. I don't think it would create an atmosphere of fear. It should instill a sense of safety. Whenever a cop goes into a school they are armed and it doesn't cause any fear.
But what many people don't want to realize is we live in a pretentiously humane and PC society.
We pretend to be empathetic but we are only empathetic when we realize a tragedy that could touch us. Perfect example is the Sandy Hook Massacre. These happen the globe over... In the Middle East especially.. but when it's their.. it's out of sight, out of mind.
We passive-aggressively antagonize traditional norms...we seek the iron reach of the Federal Government to force our preferences in the name of "morality". It's double speak for "preference".
We enable a cartelized pharma industry to drug our children.
We allow public institutions funded by private interests to indoctrinate us and our children.
We have clung to collective ideology to do whatever we want, much of the time that is nothing, and hide behind the fraction of humans who have subscribed to the dogma and fulfill their "civic duty" as a wage slave.
We want to promote a virtual freakshow in the name of "diversity" and force associations by coercion. Then, when people snap...they whine to their newly accepted God to strip what little liberty people have left.
Hot, I have no solutions. There are many countries that are as you describe us, and even more, and they don't have so many people snapping and killing others.
I don't think a social safety net is a bad thing. I think diversity can be a very positive thing.
I do agree with you that some industries own our government. I think we all agree on that point. But I can't see us coming back from that. We are an increasingly interdependent world.
Things are more complex now than they were in my father's day.
Not necessarily. My thread is about urban people's viewpoints, based on their own life experiences, most of which are weak-willed, emotionally timid people who would never consider touching a gun to begin with. Their viewpoints are irrelevant as far as i'm concerned.
So not wanting a proliferation of firearms automatically makes one a weak-willed, emotionally-timid person?
Uuuh, couldn't one reasonably opine the reverse is true as most of your gun huggers are living in bunkers afraid to move for fear of being attacked by a rabid 7 year old lemonade stand operator.
All those urban timid ones are not the ones afraid to go out their front door unless strapped. they didn't rush to the country to escape their insecurities while among denser population.
Life experiences lacking is probably the most stupid comparator I've ever heard anyone yack on these boards. You've got folks on here that have served all over the world in various capacities with the military of other nations and who would not dream of walking around with 40 oz's hanging off their belts all day every day like some of you morons. Urbanites are your routine world travellers while rural preppers have one experience they can claim common to all; a visit to "cluck & bucket" Saturday night as the high point of the week.
If you feel that a firearm is necessary to complete the male journey from puberty to manhood I think we can tell who'se the weak-minded er, willed and emotionally underdeveloped er, timid of the two.
Really, did you get past the Dick & Jane books, or whatever primer you were (hopefully) taught to read with?
Where did I say anything about banning.
With the logic and insanity level of gun nuts, I''m beginning to change my mind.
