Are you even hearing yourself? Strict gun laws directly equate to less gun owners. That’s literally the whole point, that the average person cannot get a gun, that only people who are fit to posses firearms and genuinely need them can get them.
Yeah, they’re committed by criminals, sure, but how many of these criminals are first-time offenders who initially got their firearms legally? Or got them from a relative?
And I’m sorry, but I absolutely will bring up the topic of school shootings, because it’s relevant. To my understanding, they’re mostly committed by teenagers, and how would a teenager get their hands on firearms? Because it wouldn’t be from an illegal dealer, as teens are very unlikely to have these types of connections, let alone the money to pay said dealer.
Exactly, the ones that got them legally (which is most of them) did not have proper background checks… because the gun control laws are not strict enough I can’t believe I actually have to spell it out for you.
I comprehended your points just fine. How could I not when they’re so idiotic?
Um, teens in public schools anywhere throughout the USA will know someone who is a drug dealer, or know someone who knows a drug dealer, and those people can find you someone who can get you a gun (illegally). Our biggest problem in the US isn’t the lack of laws to regulate us (we have plenty,) it’s the inability of our people to regulate ourselves (due to mental illness, desperation, social norms, etc.) we need to to a better job of helping each other not want to use a firearm to commit a crime. That is the real heart of the problem.
You’re saying it like it’s a good thing. It’s not a normal thing in Israel for a teen to have connections to drug dealers, let alone firearm dealers.
The presence of laws to regulate mean nothing if they’re not properly enforced, which is quite clearly the case. It should not be the responsibility of the people to regulate firearms, it’s the job of the authorities!
