Welcome to America where guns are easier to get a hold of than the latest Star Wars toys.

You don't see this crap happening in the UK.

1. True. They use machetes

Not sure I'd want to get chopped up by a machete. A gun shot is one and done if I had to go. Not crazy about pain.

3. Right. Brits all walk about with cleavers under their coats.

[valerief]

4. Congress and state legislatures need educating. No, need recycling.

We need gun laws to outlaw dangerous guns/bullets and to say goodbye to this ammosexual culture.

[valerief]

7. I just explained the only way it can happen. Legislate change. nt

16. Reality check

Last time I checked, heroin was illegal in this country, yet it is readily available in all of our prisons. If we can't keep drugs out of the most secure facilities in our country, how do we keep guns out of this nation when our southern border is wide open?

[valerief]

11. Australia did it. nt

8. Why not say goodbye to the criminal and gang culture?

aren't there many "cultures" at play when it comes to gun violence in America?

[Lizzie Poppet]

29. Why not instead target the real gun crime problems?

Scary-looking guns and "gun culture" aren't what's killing the vast majority of gun homicide victims. They're killed with handguns, more often than not by persons with no legal right to possess that firearm. The highest priority in gun regulation reform should be reducing the flow of firearms into the hands of prohibited persons. Straw purchases and "street sales" are the largest sources of guns for felons who cannot purchase them legally (a bigger vector, it seems, than theft). There are already laws against these transfers, but not nearly enough resources dedicated to identifying and prosecuting people who knowingly transfer a gun to a prohibited person. That needs to change.

14. Money, positive government intervention, better husbandry and management practices.

We just haven't done enough.

5. You'll never convince White America to give up their guns

by showing videos of young black males shooting each other. Videos like this are the reason permissible CCW laws are passing in state after state.

[Shandris]

12. Yes, darn those 'whites' for thinking perhaps protecting themselves is a good idea.

Also, whats 'white' and how do I tell if I'm looking at a 'white' person?

[cyberswede]

30. Then you are coming from a position of privilege.

Because I'm pretty sure people of color see color.

[TipTok]

33. Which makes you a racist..

.... according to some.

[hack89]

19. For that matter, can you convince Black and Brown America to give up theirs?

they also seem to have thriving gun cultures.

[cyberswede]

31. Guns aren't icky;

Icky people are icky.

[cyberswede]

36. tick tock

[JT1979]

22. Like that will ever happen

Yeah right, what world do you even live in

[mwrguy]

21. That video is porn for ammosexuals

Sitting in their basements, stroking their bushmasters.

[Lizzie Poppet]

24. Theoretically, yes: the ToS.

In actual practice, getting banned is a bit more random than that...

[Lizzie Poppet]

28. What I'm getting at...

...is that the ToS is unevenly enforced. "Some animals are more equal than others." Beyond that, it's probably best I keep my yap shut...

[JT1979]

27. the gov should just take guns from them.

They cant be trusted, only Mil/police should have guns. this kind of thing would stop.

[EL34x4]

35. So what's your plan?

[Waldorf]

39. Good thing we have a 2nd Amendment to prevent that wish.

[Initech]

32. Alex Jones will claim this is a false flag in 3... 2... 1...

[Heeeeers Johnny]

37. Would including gang members on the 'no fly' list prevent them from obtaining firearms?

Better yet, how about legislation that would mandate a lengthy prison term for any known gang member, or anyone
affiliated with a gang, found in possession of a firearm?
