The problem is you can't just thanos snap and make all the millions of guns in circulation disappear. Even if you could, it would still be in a rational person's interest to have a gun for protection even at the exclusion of others. It's strictly an advantage and an equalizer, your granny could have an AR 15 and defend herself against an intruder. Even if you're physically capable without guns defending yourself or your family becomes problematic very quickly if you're outnumbered. You wouldn't be able to sell me on stripping myself of a gun for some collective good or whatever. You would be able to convince me to move far away from anyone else
Why are some Americans insecure and whiny?

The best argument you can have for owning a gun is exactly watching those cops stand around, the fuck are they going to do if you get attacked besides pick up the body of one guy and place the other in cuffs
if they did
they would be opposing the police instruction
which enters another interesting conversation in the country.
Human race is an auto destructive race. If you will leave them toys on the view without anything to take them away from them they will use it and do something with or without premeditation. To wield a gun you should have tests and papers to have them and for every kind of it separate papers since each of them have different strength. If you need it for protection first learn how to use it and not wield it because you can hurt someone dear to you by accident. Besides have on mind fact that how on the first place some kind of a psycho has it. In US. Where people see guns all the time. Where in Europe for a brief example I see guns only as an exposition or in the shooting ranges where they should stay forever.Besides with or without guns on a hand range, people will find a way to attack you and you don't need a gun to defend yourself from someone who does not have one. People are scared of guns and people with guns feel that power that when they wield that they are unstoppable. That is why in many countries where guns are not allowed for citizens you go through psychological tests and get papers for it.
thats a fair concern which is why stricter regulation will have to be done gradually to reduce guns in circulation and also the types of guns in circulation.
thinking every gun would be wiped out just with a single law is naive
it will take some time
not doing anything and maintaining the current status quo tho is unacceptable
but who am I
just a canadian out in california to make bank and retire.
personally to protect ourselves
My dad and I fancy a bat . after seeing kaido with his club
its a much better fighting style
but luckily we never had to use it
always lived in a good area I guess

Imagine if they just banned the mass sale and production of guns to ordinary civilians.
Then every time a criminal is apprehended and their guns are confiscated, there are less guns in circulation. The law abiding citizens won't lose their guns, but criminals will.
The reason illegal gun trade is a thing is because it is so easy for one to obtain guns in america. A felon can easily get a gun by asking a non-felon to buy it for them. Similarly, anyone who wishes to commit a murder can just order their murder weapon off the internet.
But if it was much harder to produce and sell guns, this would never happen.

Laws are an abstraction. Somebody, somewhere, has to physically eliminate or repossess the guns. Nearly half a million. You risk making a large percentage of people who are law abiding into criminals. It's a huge problem from a practical standpoint. If you're a democratic politician, instead of trying to take on that massive undertaking, you pass the ball to someone else while you pass some feel good bill about limiting how many doodads you can put on a rifle and calling it a day.
I am twice sorry for you =]

what you have just explained is called taking the easy way out and why this country is closer to every citizen walking around with guns, children included than the solution many other countries in the world were able to embrace. if that doesnt sound dystopian to you , I have no words. democratic politicians are typically placed in power by people who voted them in there so should americans be successful in voting representatives with strong stances on gun control, then such law might in fact be in line with the majority population.
why are you sorry for me lol
how many lives have to be lost before it does
its right to stress
this should not be viewed as normal.
you sound real edgy mate lol. yeah you have given up hope
I havent
well if you think canada and california are just a joke without explaining why. sorry you feel that way.
nothing to feel sorry for me for tho lol.

Its a matter of political choices, and at this point the population is to hooked on that gun ownership privileges. No one will change shit, even if its something straight up bad af. The riots will be to violent for the us political party to do anything, not that they want to do anything in the first place.
you say no one will change shit yet you say america will have favorable gun laws in our lifetime.
sounds like a walking contradiction
most polls show most americans would be in favor of stricter gun control

you say no one will change shit yet you say america will have favorable gun laws in our lifetime.- yeah no one will change shit and america will have favorable gun laws for normal citizens, whats contradictory here? Or do you know something we dont, because so far, it look like this gun policy is more like a tradition than anything else, and traditions does not change in 2-3 years.
