I answered that indirectly in my very next post.... you'd also have to completely secure the border. I'll be honest, we are only kidding ourselves if we think in a country as large as ours, with over 350 million people, that we can keep all weapons off the streets. It's not going to happen. Similar to the old "the lock is for the honest man" concept, gun laws will only effect law abiding citizens.
In a word, no. It's far more complicated than that and remember my initial statement was to remove any reference to the 2nd amendment for this argument sake. I say that just because as an avid 2nd amendment defender my answer is no based off of our rights until that right is change through the proper process, doubtful that will ever happen.
Larry let me ask you a question. If we were somehow able put up a 50' impenetrable wall and guaranteed not one single gun was smuggled into our country and then we're able to confiscate the 300 million guns at a currently on the streets and guarantee that not a single person other than military and law enforcement had weapons would that absolutely prevent someone who has so much hatred for another, would it prevent them from killing that individual? Or do you think they would find means to carry out that act? And then how would I be able to defend myself or my family? serious questions and forgive the text I'm doing speak text and it doesn't understand my Southern accent.
Population? And this is not in any way shape or form a knock on immigration, I understand the role immigration played in our country and my ancestors were obviously immigrants. but we also are a country like no other that has allowed all individuals of all backgrounds regardless of personal beliefs, cultures, religions, the melting pot of the world.... And unfortunately due to the sinful nature of mankind, This great thing about our country also comes with problems.
I appreciate that and not everyone thinks like you do unfortunately. Most on the left if you ever opened the door to changing gun laws it's never enough and eventually it leads to confiscation, some of them have already been transparent about that. with that said there are laws place now, waiting periods and background checks are there. Unfortunately oftentimes information entered into the database is either outdated not completed or sometimes the system just fails. I have serious concerns about the banning of any so called assault style rifles. Who defines what assault style is? And then where does the ban end?
Larry, I've enjoyed this little mini debate, but now I've got a goat barn to work on
I think it's obvious that he didn't commit suicide imo.
