    No it doesnt. TRAINING makes people safer.

    The gun itself has nothing to do with making you safer, it is the person, that action, ad the control of the situation that makes it different. The idea that the gun is what make you safer is ridiculous on its face.

    The US, within the areas heavily populated by a certain demographic, are not civilized.

    I agree with almost everything you said, but would point out that at some point here in America we need to make more considerations on WHO can carry, and WHO can have access tot hat weapon. This young man was pissed off, and had access to a gun. How do we keep the gun away from the “pissed off” kid. How do we kee the gun away form those who will do harm with it. We as a society are more focused on the gun itself, and refuse to accept that the gun doesn't fire itself. How do we make the innocents safer from those with a gun, because the law focuses on the inanimate object, and not the human tht uses it, and/ the human that is on the other end of that. We cannot have laws that are about an inanimate object, and more laws that protect the human.

    Liberals who live in the US can attempt to modify the US Consitution if they so desire. Liberals who do not live in the US can [expletive] off.

    Here we have the opinions of gun lovers; one says that it's a shame that the older boys were not armed so that they could have blasted the 11 year old to bits because the 11 year old was a threat to them and another saying that the shot boys deserved to be shot because he was defending himself from the group

    Your response has no basis in reality.

    Its inherent in that the claim is that the gun helps in “self defense”

    Really:

    TOG 6 : "Because on its face, what's what we have here (self-defense justification)"
    Ddyad "The best outcome for the community as whole is for the violent criminal to be gunned down in the act"

    So sorry that you can't deal with the laws on securing firearms.
    It sure does blow your bull-**** to smithereens.

    Im saying that they arent strict enough. The right in those country has claimed for 200 years “shall not be infringed”, therefore, anyone should carry.

    It is fortunate he had the means, the ability, and the will to defend himself from a group of people he could reasonably believe meant to do him bodily harm.
    Why do you disagree?

    What conditions should we add and why do you think those restrictions pass the test laid out by the USSC in Bruen?
