No. The problem lies in the fact that there are millions upon millions of guns in the US in the hands of both respectable people and criminals alike. How do you now take the guns out of the hands of the responsible when you know criminals aren't going to hand theirs over? How do you tell the gun owner who has had guns since he was able to walk that suddenly after 40 years of gun ownership he is no longer responsible enough to own a gun?

Huh? Never been to a gun show, but I buy and sell guns privately quite easily.

Sold a gun last week to a guy in a parking lot. No biggie. No laws broke, no loopholes. Was on the up and up.I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

This gun infactuation in our country is definitely some type of mental disease. Their solution to this problem is either do nothing, give our "thoughts and prayers" and ignore this problem, or give more guns to schools. Who the fuk wants to live in a society where everywhere you go everyone has a weapon that can instantly kill you. What if you piss off the wrong dude that day? Or they make some meaningless statement on how mental illness is the issue, even though their own party wants to defund healthcare services to people. There is a cult in our country that is holding our nation hostage not willing to have a reasonable conversation to try and prevent making incidents like these a regular occurrence.

This is the key for me. It's not just that they are unwilling to "give up their guns" or increase gun control, they can't even hold a reasonable conversation on the topic, as demonstrated in this very thread.
Even the most tentative and sensible of suggestions gets boomed down "no no can't have that mentally ill people have rights too you can't take away their guns" and obvious solutions that would unarguably have a positive effect are denied "oh no that wouldn't work" when it obviously would work.
I don't know what's definitively the right answer, or which side is right or wrong but there's one side that is clearly not interested in even having the conversation beyond wilfully ignorant denial.

You live in a society where everyone has a weapon that can kill you right now.
Anyone can decide to illegally carry a gun and shoot you whenever they want.
The idea is to give you the option to shoot back.
As far as being armed at malls, etc, that's not really relevant. There aren't 1000 defenseless kids gathered at the mall every day. Many adults choose to carry at the mall and at movie theatres. It's almost like a school is a government institution that we should have a reasonable expectation of there being adequate security for and the other places you listed are private businesses...Last edited by Ikeman83; 02-16-2018 at 04:25 AM.

There have been many reasonable suggestions put forward, such as ending the gun free schools act, putting more cops in schools, or having cops do their paperwork at schools instead of police precincts.
I'm sorry that we don't consider arbitrary limitations on gun purchasing to be a reasonable solution.

I wonder if someone shot up a private school where the children of senators and politicians attend, whether things might change then

Nobody ****ing cares that the little island with almost no guns has fewer guns used in crimes than a country with a lot of guns

The generic "you" doesn't have a significantly higher chance of being murdered in the US. "You" only have a higher chance if you engage in certain criminal activities or associate with certain criminal types. Namely, gangs/drugs.
Take a look at the demographics of murder offenders and victims sometime. I know you won't, but you should. You can start with the FBI UCR

Except it the violent crime and murder rate goes down as guns (and more specifically and importantly, CARRYING guns, you know, so they are available to use), goes up
Remember the change in 'shall issue' and 'Constitutional carry' laws and the recent literal 50 year low in violent crime that had been trending down for literal decades

How many times the defensive gun uses? A hundred times more? Three hundred times more? Two hundred thousand times more?
And of course, if you are killed by any means other than a gun, that doesn't count.
And of course, if you commit suicide, the fact that you used a gun instead of something else is really important, because gun violence stats brah
