My mistake.
Americans are crazy for guns and the second amendment is stupid, according to the poster.
The poster said the first part, and it's hard to refute. That second part looks more like it came from your own mouth than anyone else's...
The biggest problem with guns in the USA, is the gun lobby, and the dumb 2nd Amendment that says the whole country should have guns and therefore kill each other! Sadly I feel that it is far too late to really curb this problem, as there are MILLIONS of guns in people's hands! The ONLY hope is the Lord helps you guys solve this!
No biggy.
I figured it was probably me.
Still not up to speed with this forum stuff.
Agreed.No prob. till can't refute the first part, though -- the US is pretty gaga about its guns; look at our popular culture: film, television, video games, etc...
Not feasible.....We need to enforce the laws we have.
Not feasible.
Would cost too much to strictly enforce current laws.
That doesnt follow at all.Then there's no need for additional laws....
Because you can make new laws that are cheaper, easier and more reliably enforable.Why add laws when don't enforce the laws we have?

It's like saying that you shouldn't buy a new car because you can't afford to repair your old, rusty trash heap that keeps breaking down anyway.
All I've heard is "now is not the time, we need to wait until we're distracted by the next catastrophe".I haven't heard a politician talk about abolishing old laws and present new effective streamlined ones that will be enforced.
I thought I heard "more".
If politicians can actually think it through and do something effectively on a budget I would be pleasantly surprised.
The assumption you seem to have is that all homes (all laws) cost the same.Why add laws when don't enforce the laws we have?
Why buy a summer home if you can't afford your first mortgage?

Maybe you need a little RV instead of a summer mansion? Maybe you can move into the RV and sell your first home and pay down the mortgage!
I have no love for either party.I worry about the intelligence of a group of Americans that worry about gun control with a republican controlled executive and both houses, when nothing happened after the murder of 20 odd children and democrats in at least one of them.
I have no love for either party.
If people want to attribute blame, lack of response, etc...the bump fire stocks that replicate full auto fire in rifles were deemed legal and not restricted by ATF in 2010.
Agreed.
I own a few firearms and I still don't get the fascination.
I see legal owners that are irresponsible with guns. Some make me nervous enough that I leave the range.
Movies and TV can't help things when violence is glorified.
There are also a lot of people who have become owners and hoarders responding to events like this and political responses to increase legislation or ban, etc.
Some young guys at church responded a few years ago to a proposed assault weapons ban by buying several AR's that they wouldn't have bought otherwise.
Same with ammo hoarders.
I guess they want the forbidden fruit.
So it (Vegas shooting) was a manufactured event to bump the end of the year bonuses for and by the gun execs and NRA?
