Enjoy your guns for whatever reason just don't deny that along with this liberty comes a heavy burden in the US.

Thank you for actually being smart about this issue

Although it's the mass shootings that make the news statistically it's the suicides that are the heaviest burden. Mostly older white men.
shadym6
If only this guy would have committed suicide instead of opening fire on innocent people

Americans and their guns. What a bunch of idiots.

Hunting is a good way to stock up on meat and control the deer population. Guns are an important part of our history, in many ways.
PapiChuloNumeroUno
Most western countries have hobby hunters but nowhere near the gunproblem as the US, I hardly believe most ppl in the US buy them to hunt.
watcherdave
Yeah, but assault rifles? Press a button and 20 dead in an instant?
StayClassyPonyBoy
I’m anti fully auto and anti big magazines, unnecessary.

Unfortunately, a reasonable and responsible gun owner can become irrational and lethal with the slight press of a trigger
RafterEH
Soldiers are people too, do they become irrational?
PiffTheMagicDildo
I mean... sometimes.
beardorpubehair
Actually, yes. all the fucking time.
RafterEH
So we should take their guns away?
beardorpubehair
If someone is showing signs of being mentally unstable or is being destructive indiscriminately, they don't get to keep their weapons
beardorpubehair
If the circumstances call for it, absolutely

Do you feel a heavy burden of car ownership when someone gets killed in a car accident?
lisbethsalanderinaus
Is a car designed only to injure or kill or are you talking about those cars you get for protection?
BunchaCrunchOfHuman
Yes, when it's a dui. Or a car hits a cyclist. But we pass laws to make seatbelts/airbags/ speed limits mandatory and protected bike lanes.
BunchaCrunchOfHuman
We don't do anything to protect innocent people from gun violence. We won't even collect data to study the problem.
shadym6
Let me know the next time a car massacres 50 people
TooterFishPopkin
86 killed 458 injured in France by a truck
BeardicPerformance
Do you even watch the news? There was a terrorist attack using a truck like two months ago.
shadym6
Still pales in comparison next to what an automatic assault rifle can do
BeardicPerformance
Not really. See the other reply to your comment. The truck attack was actually worse
shadym6
Why do you think terrorists have to resort to using alternative things as weapons in those countries? Strict gun laws.
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
Free Speech comes with a much larger burder to the US, So does Freedom of Religion.
shadym6
Larger than a massacre? Or the ever present fear that someone may shoot and kill you for bc they had a bad day?
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
Yes larger than a massacre. Free speech is at the root of nearly every massacre, the ones where it's not you usually find religion.
shadym6
Still guns that cause death and destruction, regardless of the reason why.
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
The reason why is most important, the method would just be something else without a gun.
shadym6
Gun control is within our means. What exactly are you proposing?
