  1. More like "Oh sh-t, this is a problem and it keeps happening, maybe we ought to do something about it," but ok . . . Also, tell that to George W. Bush.

  2. The U S. has the most firearms per capita of any country in the world (Yemen is a distant second), being the only nation on EARTH with more guns than people. Not surprisingly, we also have the highest rates of gun violence of any country in the developed world by far. Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Norway, and almost all other developed countries have some of the strictest gun laws, and also have the lowest rates of gun violence. Coincidence? I think not. This is the price you pay for "freedom." I hope it's worth it. Fun fact: 9 out of the top 10 states with the highest rates of gun violence per capita are the Republican-led states of Alaska, Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Montana.

  3. It's not the gun itself that's the issue, it's the PREVALENCE of guns that faciliate such incomprehensibly high rates of gun violence and mass shootings, making the United States the only country in the developed world that suffers from this problem. Stay ignorant.

  4. Personally, I cannot take anyone seriously who believes the government could become "tyrannical" at any moment and that they need the means to defend themselves so as to (as Jefferson wrote) overthrow the government and establish a new one that fears the people, not dominates them (I'm totally on board with that, I lean towards anarchism) --- but who ALSO says that our military should be the most powerful in the world and that the bloated budget of $770 BILLION should be maintained or even increased year after year. Using history as our guide (the American Revolution, for example), who do they think the politicians or a dictator will use as his/her/their shield to remain in power? The MILITARY, of course. Did we already forget that it was the British army who defended their colonies in the Seven Years' War, and then when the colonies rebelled, that same military was used against them? You want the people who would potentially be defending a brutal dictator (the Commander-in-Chief) to have MORE sophisticated weapons and means of subjugation? Are you INSANE? Here at least the libertarians have an argument --- the gun-toting neoconservatives have no idea what they want in such a scenario. Hope the hearts of the people with the most firepower (our servicemen and women) are turned in our favor, I guess --- and there, I'm afraid to say, history is not on your side.

  5.  @christianhudspeth3338  The statistics I presented only took into account gun homicides. Suicides are irrelevant for the present discussion, so I excluded them.
