Even if an attack like this, of this scale were to happen every single day of the year, not even that would be worth giving up the guns. As long as we have a system in which politicians are in power, it is vitally important that they think about this in the back of their minds when they weigh to what extent they can get away with treason.

In Western Europe, they're going fuckin WHOLE HOG self-destruct mode and they would not be able to do this if the people there had their own 2A.

This. This is the key point.

Obama asked for more and more gun laws, all the while enforcement in places like Chicago were dropping like a rock. In Chicago in 2014, more than 2,500 people were shot – 400 killed – during the commission of various crimes. Police seized 6,252 guns, most of them illegal. How many gun charges did federal prosecutors push? 62. Yup, 62. If you want to be generous, that’s about 1%. And Chicago isn’t unique. According to research by Syracuse University, gun crime prosecutions across the US dropped every year under Obama, hitting an all-time low in 2015. In fact, they were 34.8% lower than in 2004 under Bush.

Don't ask for more laws until you enforce the ones you have.

They don't have the time or the money to prosecute. Solution? Take away gun + automatic fine. Can't get drivers license or their EBT. Make the fine payable, but still steep. Like $1,000. And have them do community service if they can't pay it. So you get either 1k for the city coffers, or you get like 80 hours of free city work teaching homeboys to have some manners. make them volunteer in old folks home cleaning up dirty diapers.

Sounds more civil than a lynching, but I bet we see lynchings before community service.

Enforcement in Baltimore is practically non existent and it's coming from the judges. The (republican) governor is running them over the coals for not enforcing gun crime statute sentencing with the ghetto animals. He has also retracted funding for committees that fail to do anything about any of this despite it being their purpose. Now if we can get that at a federal level...and review the laws on the books for common sense we could get somewhere.

Fine example, James Earl Ray killed MLK, some nigs say the FBI hired, made, whatever him do it. In 1968 they passed the GCA which made felons ineligible to buy a gun. Guess who comprises the largest group of felons per capita? And they are all for disarming further which puts the man more in charge. Just ignorant.

Two proof-of-concept examples for an idea:

  • The War on Terror
  • The War on Drugs

Idea: you can't just make something bad disappear by making it illegal

Every new law/rule/restriction is giving up a small slice of your freedom for something - so what is that something? It's not "to make guns go away" or some wishy-washy goal

You want a desired outcome - presumably you want to be safer, or reduce gun violence or something. So, you ask yourself two questions:

  • What is the desired outcome
  • What is your policy's efficacy toward that outcome?

Bonus points for using precedent and justifying that this previous example would also apply here.

I am pro gun-rights, but I like to think I keep an open mind. So my 'open-mindedness' is here: show me an example of the above working - a successful gun-control policy working. Not to suggest that one couldn't, but it's been tried enough in the past that I'm not going to take some new attempt at face value

Bro. you're forgetting the best example. Alcohol Prohibition. What did this result in? More Booze options, illegal business practices and gangsters focusing on the illegal sale of alcohol to profit off of.

We've known for a long time this shit doesn't work but the people in power are sick fucks who just want the ability to control people and tell them what they can and can't do.

To your point, if every crime committed with a gun caused the convicted felon to be given life or the death penalty it would reduce gun violence far more than laws concerning firearms themselves. It's obvious they really don't want to reduce gun violence as this would be the first fucking thing to do.

First prove that the laws we have do not violate the constitution.
