Would you feel good about only the government having guns? You know that disarming citizens is always the first step towards a genocide. Seriously, look at any genocide in history, it happened where citizens have no right to own guns. Do you think the holocaust would have happened if the citizens of Germany were as well armed as America? Hell the Japanese even made the smart decision not to invade the American mainland in WWII because "there would be a rifle behind ever blade of grass" as quoted by a Japanese naval commander. Guns are a needed. Unless every single gun in the world is destroyed, then I want a gun. I don't want to be left defenseless when I know other people out there have them and I don't. |
You're missing my point and overreacting. I'm not saying that we should ban guns or "disarm" citizens, all I'm saying is we need to enforce gun laws more strictly. Because even though we do have many gun laws, they aren't being enforced properly. Regardless, since my previous post I've taken a step back and realized that gun laws aren't the biggest cause (though they do play a factor), it's our health care system and our ignorance (or lack of interest) towards detecting and treating people with mental illnesses until they do something tragic like this.
