Maybe we are overdue. I'm not condoning revolution, but the second amendment was intended to keep the government in check. It wasn't about muskets and such.


No background check was going to stop Sandy Hook. The checks in place should weed out those who shouldn't be permitted to buy any firearm. Still, those checks wouldn't have prevented that shooting.


Military weapons and fully automatic guns are already banned in the US. Just because a gun looks like a military weapon doesn't make it one.

The 2nd amendment is there to keep government in check, yet the majority of the ammosexuals in America are pseudo tough guy pussycats. Every one of those "open carry" faketriots ran and hid when those cops were ambushed in Dallas. I thought the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun? There will be no revolution. The government can and will do what it pleases, because the majority of these 2nd Amendment gun nuts are minimally trained cowards who feel macho with a gun in their hands (so long as nobody is shooting back.)


While bad guys will get their hands on guns regardless, I still feel we make it way too easy for people on terrorist watch lists or who are diagnosed with mental disorders to get guns. To say doing something to close those loopholes wouldn't decrease the number of attacks is not logical to me. It won't solve the issue, but I cannot see how there would not be a decrease in incidents by implementing the most basic screening and restriction policies. Doing something is better than doing nothing.


Calling an AR-15 a non-military weapon (I get the MSR classification) does not prevent it from firing 45 rounds per minute. What are you hunting that requires that type of performance if it isn't humans?
