    There is no such culture as has been proven and which you have admitted to

    It's not beyond imagination that these scenarios could arise--especially led by the new ultra-right or Alt-Right conservatives, who appear incapable of respecting the rights of anyone other than themselves, and care even less about the nation as a whole.

    I have NEVER advocated confiscating the weapons of anyone on this forum or anywhere else. But I don't agree with your assertion that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right of ANYONE to own ANY KIND of gun conceived by Man. The Supreme Court has already ruled that controls can be imposed on certain types of firearms without abridging the 2nd Amendment. I support that action.

    "Taking your guns away" is a false assumption. We who call for more effective gun control laws are NOT seeking to take away guns from owners--just prevent high risk new owners from buying them. Please understand that very important fact.

    Interesting complaint. To me it's clear that the entire premise is wrong, making it simply an exercise in circular reasoning. And I would gladly do a bit of research and fully elaborate, but not for you after reading this gem:
    It's entirely "possible" that you just "explain[ed], in a coherent manner" that your mind is shut. So what point would there be in trying to discuss it with you? Masochism?

    Weapons, and 'scopes, and ammo, and whatever other hardware he thought he might need? I say 'he' but I actually believe 'they'.

    Does gun control prevent criminals from shooting people?

    A person who shoots people illegally becomes a "criminal" after the fact by definition. Hopefully they then get identified, officially deemed an intolerable threat to society, and separated from the greater public. Pretending the reverse could be the case, putting the "criminal" before the crime, the cart before the horse, is then what: inane? dishonest? both? You pick.

    Gun control? Nevada represents the control group, i.e. virtually no gun control:
    And, once again, we've all gotten to witness the result.

    grumblenuts never did answer. Typical leftist. Knows so much about that which isnt so. In this case...whining for gun control but cant come up with a single law that would have prevented this.

    At least your honest...finally a leftist steps forward and honestly admits what they really are after.

    Ok, ban it, then who is responsible for the deaths of people who can no longer defend themselves with a firearm? You leftists?

    You avoided the question. Please defend your stance cogently. Also, did banning guns prevent the theatre attack in france? Its a factual No it absolutely did not. The problem with the left is they are attacking law abiding citizens freedoms in response to the actions of people that dont follow gun laws. Killing people is illegal. How come that law didnt work?
