      I mean people used to be armed all the time and there wasn’t a daily massacre.

      people like saying this, what could possibly go wrong? but really, what could really go wrong?

      this kkk dude would have be dead for pulling a gun in front of an armed group, maybe he kills one but this should level out at some point. the crazies will cull themselves out.

        Listen friend. It’s a pretty simple equation:

        Every other 1st world nation without an armed populous= no regular gun violence/massacres

        Us as a nation= regularly experienced gun violence and massacres

        We even have a test group- Australia. Experienced one gigantic massacre, took guns away, no more gunviolence/massacres.

        And if that doesn’t sway you in the least, I can’t believe you think everybody in this nation is competent enough to be armed?!? I don’t even think everybody is competent enough to have a driver’s license and be on the road operating a dangerous high speed vehicle, (not to mention you need both a license and insurance to legally operate a car). I mean, have you met the “average” American? And you think EVERYONE should be able to legally own firearms?? Just nuts.
