Thoughts and Prayers

Most gun owners actually support things like universal background checks and mandatory registration. When polled if they support gun control however support plummets.

You're second point is right on. People who are afraid of immigrants "invading" America, are definitely the type to fill their houses with guns.

Most gun owners support registration? Not the ones I know. That is the lube used to make the slope slippery. That's how when the government decides to take all our guns they know where to go to get them.

Yeah, the polling supports it.

Gun ownership is super super common, lots of people who own a gun, you'd never know because they don't make it a part of their identity. I'm guessing the people you are talking about are a little different in that regard. I'm a lefty lib and I love my shotgun, but if you met me you'd probably never guess I was a gun owner.

When people see the term gun owner they picture a guy with NRA stickers, open carrying with a closet full of guns at home, who treat ownership as a hobby. Those guys are the minority, and it's a shame they are given more legitimacy in the conversation about gun rights than rest of us.

It’s not just about the supply of guns that’s already out there, but the availability and ease of them to be sold. There’s so much more we can do to regulate and limit the proliferation of these weapons and large capacity magazines.

Texas allows you to buy semi-autos without a background check. That shouldn’t be.

At this point, making guns slightly more difficult to buy, which I support, won’t really make a damn bit of difference. We’ve already reached that saturation point. And gun owners, generally speaking, won’t give their weapons up with out a fight. Literally.

That’s not what the facts say.

Plus, the government absolutely can incentivize people to recollect guns, especially high powered ones.

Literally every other industrialized country has figured this out.

There are already buy back programs. And America has a rebellious streak a mile wide. I fully believe that any type of mandatory confiscation or outlaw on buying new weapons results in civil war.

Incentivize people more; offer buy back programs over 5 years, then confiscate high powered guns. That’s what Australia did. If the bundys want a fight then let’s bring it to them.

But the status quo needs to end.

It’s not just america’s Wild side. No other demographic has seen such great increases in gun ownership, suicide, and mass shootings as white males. You don’t seen Hispanics or African Americans running around town like Rambo or shooting up churches and Walmarts. Pandering to this one demographic is so tired. So tired of the bundys, trumps, and Wayne lepierres holding us hostage.

It’ll be so much more than the Bundys. You’ll see towns across the south, Midwest and mountain west resist. Bet on it. If you are limiting yourself to that mindset you’re fundamentally misunderstanding and underestimating hundreds of thousands of not millions of people.

I’m not arguing your other points lol. But since you brought it up stop focusing on mass shootings when so many more are from homicides and it points dramatically to African Americans.

It’s so much deeper and pervasive than “white males” even though they are undeniably part of the problem.

Fine with me.

I’m tired of everyday reading about more innocent people mindlessly slaughtered by some young white male’s penis enhancer. And I’m tired of the NRA and Republican Party benefitting from it.

Fine by you? Then you're not against killing at all. Fine by you. Jesus.

Our conversation has reached its conclusion.

No, I’m done with the status quo. I refuse to believe that we’re damned to continue to live without universal health care, affordable college, and without safe communities because America is the lone “exceptional“ industrialized country in the world. We won’t know if we can’t do something until we actually try it.

Let’s enact real gun regulation now. Let’s see how it goes. If you aren’t for trying gun control then absolutely our conversation has reached its conclusion.

They should make the ammo more difficult to buy as well
