Here Is the Place, if any on this forum, for Gun Discussion

Those are two different questions. One is about eliminating shootings and the other is about past weapon sales. It's obvious to me that past sales have nothing to do with banning future sales, which is what I'm talking about. Like I said, nothing you say is constructive or interesting or pertinent to anything at hand.

You are your usual self. I've come to expect it from you. The questions are very much related. Since you obviously can't answer them, I will.

No. Why? Because there are millions already in the hands of individuals.

There's nothing you can do about that.



Now, how hard was that?

So then you've made zero points as demonstrated by your own answering.

Ummm, no. Your confusing points with solutions. I've made zero solutions. I have made a point.

There are no solutions. You can ban all guns, not just assault rifles, and these tragedies will still occur. Because, like I've said, there are already millions in the hands of individuals. And, even when people don't have the means to access guns, they will still find a way to carry out mass killings.

The point I made is there is nothing that can be done.

Well if that's really true then how come no other country on earth has the amount of shootings the US has? More mass shootings this year than days.

Because most of them had gun confiscations along with gun bans. There's a difference between a confiscation and a ban. Ok, impose a ban! Big deal? That doesn't eliminate the millions that are already in the hands of individuals. That's my point. Now, if you want to impose a confiscation, that's a different story. It would be a civil war in this country - literally.

These shootings are a blight on America. We should be disgusted with them. Clearly banning weapons is an effective way to reduce gun violence. Just look at Britain. Don't be obtuse and suggest there are no solutions to curbing mass shootings. Even if someone uses a different weapon and kills just one less person, that one less person is worth saving. You're uncomfortable with someone telling you that you can't have something. That doesn't mean more people need to die just because you don't like being told no. Get a different type of gun and move on.
