Even if you pass stricter gun laws, they won't stop some of these shootings. Because in the case of the more recent shootings, all or at least most of the gunmen would have passed your a-typical background checks. There was no black mark what so ever on their records that would flag them. Now, if there was a face to face…
To be honest I do not think it is justified to proclaim on whether citizens owning guns privately is a good idea or not based on incidents. It would be dishonest to suddenly do so when I've always felt debates should be about larger-scale statistics and political economic context and how to interpret these, not moral…
What did I just say? The guns don't come from the store or people's homes, they come from the black market. Close every shop in the country and you, at best, reduce 8% of guns used in gun crimes, but you also remove access to guns for every law-abiding citizen.

Full auto weapons (actual assault rifles) are not allowed to be owned by citizens without a special license from the ATF and they…
You just glossed over the fact that it is a semi-auto rifle and went on to make your point. You do know what semi-auto means don't you? There are other common as dirt rifles out there that aren't of military origins that are semi-auto and pack more lethal range than an AR-15. You're splitting hairs honestly. You're…
@Bigjohn Firstly, Switzerland has a nation service model where everyone is a reserve in the army, as a result they are issued with a fire arm, and trained in its use. Its a completely different model compared to the USA. Also freedom has nothing to do with gun ownership, there have been many countries throughout history…
some crazy guy with a knife will kill, or seriously injure maybe 3 people at most, before someone disarms or disables them. some crazy guy with a gun can fire off a full magazine and reload and start firing again before people even have a chance to react to the situation. so when people come along with the argument "guns…
