So you would agree that the problem is more-so due to criminals illegally using or selling firearms than legal gun owners?

Not at all, it’s because there are too many fucking guns

If they're a government building of any form they should have high protection, airports aren't necessarily high crime areas either.

What's your solution to the proliferation of firearms then? I seriously doubt you are going to get 106,000,000 people to willingly give up 400,000,000+ firearms (that's only counting the serialized ones too)

It requires heavy cultural force as well as a tiered buyback program. Other countries have done it

Are you not arguing that gun ownership is less important than people's lives?

I apologize if that isn't what you meant but that's what I had gleaned from it.

Your entire premise relies on the assumption that having more weapons made for killing people = a safer population. You’re also trying to put words in my mouth and act like some saint who cares about people’s lives when in reality you care more about tools used for killing. Thats just wrong, dude.

Yes I do, and if that were false then we would be seeing the worst massacres in history perpetrated by civilians in a country with relatively little gun rights infringement. Instead, we have seen the worst massacres in history perpetrated by government in countries where the government restricted the right to bear arms from their subjects.

Guns also have a number of other uses besides killing people such as movie production, setting off explosives for demolition work, hunting, sport shooting, getting rid of all my old electronics in the middle of a desert, etc

The worst massacres in history have been committed during wartime by military forces against foreign military forces and civilians. I don’t disagree that populations have a right to defend themselves against oppressors and that guns have more than one use but in a regular, peaceful society it’s very silly to think that somehow having more guns makes everyone safe

It's extremely silly to think that a "regular peaceful society" can or will never go to war or be oppressed, I would argue that it is a lot sillier than preserving the right to bear arms in a peaceable state.

Crazy fucking idea but have you ever thought that “less guns” doesn’t actually mean “no guns”? You really like speaking in terms of black and white huh

Anonymous #1 3d

I would assume it means restricting the types of weapons available and/or requiring some form of licensure or permit to own purchase or manufacture them, let me know if I'm mistaken

and to that I would say, if I can't trust you with a modern firearm, the only place I would truly feel safe near you is through a prison glass window.

Oh wow that’s a great idea, let’s just put everyone who we don’t want to have guns in jail 🙄 One minute you go on about how everyone needs to have guns to be safe from authoritarian oppression and the second you’re saying this? Dude this is embarrassing

Yeah, if you're going to cause harm to me the second you have access to a firearm, you should be in jail. You are a present danger to society.

they guns are legally bought in Texas… just like most “illegally obtained guns” here. Guns are bought legally in states with no gun laws, and then moved around or stolen. the state of texas alone can be squarely blamed for most gun crime in the US *and* Mexico.

There are no states with no gun laws

Anonymous #5 3d

But regardless, you would agree that the issue then is people trafficking arms and not your average firearm purchase?

Anonymous OP 3d

How do you think they are getting the arms to traffic? And yes, there are states with effectively no gun laws. You can walk into a store and buy whatever with essentially no safeguards, no background check etc. not to mention you can they legally sell that to someone else with no paper trail. if it we’re not so insanely easy to buy guns in texas, it’d be much harder for them to buy guns in texas and traffic them elsewhere.

Thats patently false, there is nowhere in the United States that you can legally walk into a store and buy a gun with no NICS check.

You also have to sign a form 4473 which is given to the feds when the gun store closes.
