have drunk drivers killed more people than wars

The very real problem people in your position seem to ignore is that guns aren't going anywhere. I think pro-gun advocates are pretty consistent in their line of reasoning they are only against outright bans, not more gun safety. I know some have suggested that purely defensive non-lethal ranged weapons (such as tasers, batons, water turrets in schools, etc) measures could be implemented in schools in the instance that some non-law following crook does storm a classroom, but that's a far, far cry from claiming that we should arm our teachers with high capacity machine guns or something ridiculous like that. + Guy Kawasaki I don't know that anyone's said the solution is more guns, I'd like you to point to an actual (not an internet troll) comment or argument that we need more lethal force running around, that doesn't have something to do with a white-supremacy group. Not a reason to ban guns, however.Ī better approach to reducing gun related deaths it to focus on general crime reduction methods, such as civic building, moral education, more law enforcement, etc. This argument is probably anti-gun's best line of reasoning for implementing even stricter gun control laws.

This is the closest evidence/line of reasoning I've seen so far that shows that tighter gun control could be a good thing. So please, do not use the second amendment in your defense of gun liberty. This clause, being no longer true, annuls the second amendment. This is no longer true, we do not need a militia to keep our freedoms.Ī clause is only ever used in the constitution twice, when something is intended to go out of play. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state…”.Ī militia means that the civil population supplements the established army. Notice that the first portion of the amendment is a clause. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” I noticed that you mentioned the second amendment, and I just wanted to clarify something for you.ĭo you know the second amendment by heart?

This is a fact claim on this statistic, and you can decide yourself who the “bad guys” are.
