CDZ Why aren't we addressing the gun issue as a cultural problem?

The 2nd amendment clearly states and I quote the first line (a WELL REGULATED MILITIA) end of argument. trained & responsible. not stupid gun nuts who take rifles to the grocery store.

End of an argument by the ignorant, sure.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

Only works if you conveniently leave out the 1st line, & chop up are Constitution to fit your mind set.

NO you are not correct, guns are just a tool, pro gun, but totally against untrained gun nuts. there is zero reason to go shopping with any kind of riffle strapped to your body.

Agree. If you need a rifle to go get a loaf of bread, then there are other 'issues' more important, and those stores aren't open anyway.

Over the last 26 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s

Yes, and now we have record mass shootings and 14,500 gun homicides a year.. That's just fucking crazy man.

Gun laws used to be race based. You want to reduce gun violence, you will have to return to that policy, and allow sweeps of hood rat neighborhoods, stop and search of known gangbangers, etc. Not much need for it in the white Burbs, where violent crimes rates are less than Europe's. But wait, you left wringers actively encourage violent crime in minority neighborhoods, and don't want to interfere with pouring money into the pockets of drug cartels and the serial killers they hire to handles sales and distribution.

We don't have to have race based laws

All we need to do is strictly enforce the federal gun laws we already have.

It was a tongue in cheek remark, but as we all know anybody who is serous about reducing violence in the hoods is talking about sweeps and a martial law situation in many of those neighborhoods things 'anti-racist' racists like Little Joe can't grasp. Just like the 'War On Drugs' the black radicals demanded to clean up the heroin epidemics in black neighborhoods that Richard Nixon gave them on a platter, that they later lied about ever demanding,it will result in 'disproportionate arrests of black people'.

That happened almost before the ink was dry on it, so no problem. Few Americans care about it, except when some personal ox of theirs gets gored, then they get 'all Constitutional n shit' and pull all sorts of crap out of their asses over what they want it to mean. The 'Founders' themselves were cowards when it came to clarity; they deliberately left some key parts of it vague and kicked the can down the road.
