    Not one child has ever died from a mass book reading and yet Republicans spend more time trying to restrict books in schools than guns.

    I'd be interested in the statistics on homosexual kids converting to heterosexuality as a direct result of a book they read. Banning books based upon sexuality says that one child is worth protecting over another.

    In most places, it is already illegal to bring a gun into a school.
    You want Republicans to make it super-double-illegal?
    What will that do?

    Obviously the laws we have on the books are inadequate.

    We have to start reducing the number of guns that exist.

    We need to have a 50 year goal to cut the number of guns that exist by 50%.

    Maybe once we have more people than guns, we can start to have meaningful laws to prevent shootings.

    Every gun used in a crime was produced and sold legally. It didn't appear in the hands of a criminal out of thin air.

    That means the elimination of more than 4 million guns per year, assuming zero more guns make it to the market.
    How do you plan to do that?
    Why do you think laws can prevent shootings?

    yea, we need to start having the right conversations.

    We need to reduce the number of guns.

    We can either start talking about amending the constitution, or accept that shootings are going to become more and more common.

    At some point the 2nd amendment is going away. Maybe no in our lifetimes, but it will go away once kids who've grown up having drills for mass shootings are in their 60s, they aren't going to care about the 2nd amendment.

    There isn't any point in having that conversation today though, too many people think the 2nd amendment is protecting them from something. Eventually most of those idiots are going to be dead and gone.

    Ridiculous. There laws against everything from double parking to robbery and murder. Does that mean there are no double parkers, robbers or murderers?

    Why do you believe you can get 38 states to vote to repeal thew 2nd?
    These kids will live in liberal states. It does not matter how many of them live their, their state only gets one vote to repeal.
    Is it.
    It protects us from people like you.
    Working as intended.

    Gun control is predicated on the assumption that a the body of a dead woman, raped and strangled with her pantyhose, is a preferable to that same woman explaining to a police officer how that hole got into her attempted rapist's head.

    Like i said, it won't happen in our lifetimes.

    If people really wanted to save the second amendment, they would be more amenable to more restrictive laws against guns, but it's the pro gun people who will be responsible for the eventual doom of the 2nd amendment.

    Oh yes, because we know so many rapes are prevented by an armed woman.

    Can you prove that more than .00001% of rapes are prevented by an armed victim?

    All the laws in the world won't prevent lawbreakers from having guns. You know... like its illegal to drive drunk... but we still have lots of drunk drivers.

    How many raped women is ok with you? What number of raped women would convince you that they should be allowed to defend themselves? Is ten raped women ok with you? 100? 1,000? What's the number of raped women it would take to convince you they should have the right to defend themselves?

    There's no reason for gun owners to agree to unnecessary and ineffective restrictions on the exercise of their right to keep and bear arms - especially under your implied threat.
    The 2nd isn't going anywhere - the federal government will collapse before it is repealed.

    Can you prove that the number of woman saved from rape is higher than the number of children who get murdered in school?

    What do children have to do with rape? Apples and space shuttles... wait... teachers are talking to little kids about sex now... Is there something you want to share with us?

    There no need to prove any such thing.

    why-lets reduce the number of criminals and control freaks. Your desired laws are only designed to hassle people who don't buy into your leftwing agenda

    why do you want to proffer silly arguments concerning crime prevention when crime prevention has nothing to do with the motivations behind gun banning?

    He's the one claiming that women are saved from rape by guns. If a gun saves the woman, then it's the gun killing children.

    If guns don't kill people, then guns don't save people.

    here is the real issue

    Leftwing gun control schemes prevent women from stopping rapists

    Leftwing gun control schemes do not stop armed rapists, armed robbers or murderers. Rather left wing gun control schemes make the working environments for such criminals, safer
