Let me get this straight...
You are an American, asking if there should be gun law restrictions, in America, but in an advice thread, in international forum? (Instead of USA forum) Do you REALLY care, what the rest of the world thinks about your rights or removing them?

SMFH Self sabotaging?
Drama seeking?

Doesn't matter.. I am out wave have fun

IMHO it's a fundamental right to bear arms that was agreed upon and placed in the original US Constitution by the Founding Fathers.

They were a particular wise and far seeing bunch ... personally, I feel it's a slippery slope when anyone begins to surrender their rights as it makes it easier to give away the next, and the next and the next.

At the end of the day it seems that the terrible things done with guns are carried out by persons with criminal intent ( who'd find weapons on the BM anyway ) with inflamed passions and / or unbalanced minds that impair them from behaving reasonably or logically.

I like how American gun owners don't shoot the elites anymore and instead shoot their kids despite being more heavily-armed and apparently pissed off with the powers that be.

Will you never learn?
No one should have any weapons - except he has a very good reason and a license because of that - like it is in most parts of Europe. And we don't have all that shooting and killing.
With an uneducated president like Trump America gets less and less civilized.
You will drown in blood one day.

Don,t shoot me --ha ha for my opinion.

Many moons ago Brit police went over to America to see how police were with guns etc. they came away saying they did not like that--every police man carrying as they thought criminals would arm themselves more than now. Plus being held up with a gunman needs instant reactions and sometimes wrong descions ensue. We do have police who are specially trained and brought in when something happens. Personally i think that is best.

I do not think you can turn clock back in America, everyone with guns does not shoot his friends do they. People from all countries and cultures have mad, bad, and mental forlk who will just shoot away. Maybe restrictions on who buys guns, where they are stored etc and correct training given to those that own guns. Like if you have a car you must pass a test kinda thing.

In one way it wouldn't matter because we wouldn't arm ourselves to the teeth even if they were legal. Gun culture is not the same as guns being legal and clearly there's something murderous in the American psyche which shares responsiblity for all the mass murders.

Americans should have guns restricted because they're a more criminal and selfish people, more decent people don't create lands of mass murder even they're armed. In Switzerland they shoot themselves at an unprecedented rate. We should assume the American is a serial killer, they need more laws to help restrict mass murder because their way of life is more likely to do a murder. Their general attitude is closer to sociopathy and their concern for the welfare of others is less than rest of mankind, law-abidingness is the sole reason they wouldn't murder and when you don't have a conscience all you have is the rules.

Without weapons there wouldn't be many murders.
In a world with way to many people, I say, go ahead, kill each other, but leave me out of it.

This is exactly to the point. America has a 'gun culture' Switzerland doesn't, even tho arms per capita is similarly high. It's a culture thing. Police in the US are trigger-happy, because in every tense situation they enter, one or more protagonists are going to be packing something. In that environment, it's a 'shoot-first, ask question later' type of approach. When everyone is armed, and an argument breaks out, it becomes a potential a war zone.
The founding fathers had muskets in mind, not AR15's.

If the American likes shooting people and shooting people makes him happy then nothing will stop him pursuing this aspiration. There's zero moral restraint on ambition and if you have no self-restraint then society will do it for you. Restrain yourself or be restrained.

I'm glad to hear it. With idiots like Aries on this forum, they should be reduced to 5, and that would be too much.

I mean the whole argument that "guns should be legal because I haven't shot anybody" is a selfish moral blank that is as much the reason mass murders as the guns are. The fact that the interest of everyone else is expendable to whatever it is you want is building for an America of lonely and spoilt sociopathy.
