Surely this is just common sense. and I just find it funny that the Australians were saying exactly the same things that Americans do today about gun control and yet Australians are fine. So much for home "defense" and these other bullshit arguments against gun control! It don't have to be a ban but some kind of gun control like universal background checks and limits to ammo would be a start and that wouldn't infringe your amendment 2.

But I am so glad guns are so hard to get in the UK

except for how time and time again its shown that those measures would literally do nothing to stop shootings. this is even admitted by the people pushing for this kind of legislation, but they say we should do it anyway, because its the "right" thing to do.

and yes it very much does infringe upon the 2nd amendment. which is exactly the point of these measures, becuase the people pushing for the admit they wont work. they want these laws not to save lives but for control.

It's for the greater good. But why do you actually need a gun? You are probably not serving the army, so i just don't understand. I can sort of understand if you lived on a farm or somewhere remote, but surely a rifle would do. What use would people need for an Assault rifle or anything like that? And why would you even need a gun if you lived in a city, to shoot your way through traffic!! But with less guns, there are less shootings it's common sense.

And how does what i said infringe the constitution? That's the right to bear arms, i never said to ban guns. I said for universal background checks and ammo limits. Gun reform is essential in America, even if it won't go as far as it did in the UK or Australia in the late 90's.  And why would it matter if your government ignored the constitution, they do that anyway. Potential laws like CISPA and the fact that Guantanamo Bay is even open are unconstitutional acts. 

And also, i don't trust personal responsibility when it comes to guns (i do with drugs, as it only really affects the person smoking it), just because you can easily kill people with a couple of bullets. As I said, it's for the greater good. That Australian made it clear on the Daily show if you watched it

And finally, don't you think the NRA spread their own bullshit and get noticed because they make great noise at anyone with common sense?!
