When will they change their gun laws? London has its issues but America is so much worse.

I believe Trump pushed through stricter laws regarding background checks on new rifle purchases six months ago although I have no clue if this has been acted upon or not.
I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong as its been a while since I really paid attention to the goings on in the states.

Plenty of countries have similar gun laws to the states, the USA needs to fix its mental health problems not its gun laws.

This isn't going away and it's only going to get worse.

"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."

The Second Amendment essentially permits every individual to be as armed equal to the military. In 1791, "a gun was a gun..." Today, if I theoretically wanted a tank, I could buy a tank. And, have at it...

Over two hundred years later, firearms have changed. The Second Amendment hasn't.

It needs to.

There is no rational reason for any type of automatic weapon to be available to anybody other than law enforcement. Screw AK-47 recreation...

Gun activists/Second Amendment supporters argue that if the state turns against the citizens, they need to be able to respond with equivalent force.

I totally agree with those who suggest we need to apply more resources to mental health, as this is often at the root of mass killings.

More importantly, however, we need to remove these weapons from the face of this country, figure-out how to prevent them from ever becoming (illegally) available again and, change the Second Amendment.

Figuring-out how to accomplish this, I'm afraid, is beyond my intellect...

It can't be accomplished peacefully.....when the democrats get in power they will probably try to dismantle the system bit by bit.....but it's not going to be pretty that's for sure.

You really can be a silly individual wissy.
What point are you trying to make as 20 people are lying on the slab.
Sometimes your views are so out there I wonder if your age has brought about a bit of senility.

Who said AR means assault rifle? Stop deflecting. I know perfectly well what an AR is.

And when I talk about assault rifle I mean just that, not simply an AR15; AK47; AR10; FN FAL; FN SCAR, etc. And yes, I’ve owned one and enjoy shooting.

You claimed other countries have similar laws. Where can one buy an assault rifle in a supermarket? Where else can one legally buy firearms without showing any ID or having to undergo a background check? You’ve not answered that. It is not simply whether one can own guns elsewhere, or carry them around, but the means by which said ownership is regulated.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

I'm really scratching my head as to what more I can do with you, I've offered up examples of countries where you can purchase tactical rifles/shotguns relatively easily, I've explained the similarities in concealed carry laws.

I've never said you can walk into a Walmart equivalent in Central Eastern Europe & walk out with a gun like you can in the states.

There's little point in discussing banning firearms in the states as it won't happen.
Its interesting you've completely ignored my point about tackling the enormous mental health problems the US has.
