Reply to comment by XxcOoPeR93xX in Sources: At least 6 people shot outside funeral in Pittsburgh’s Brighton Heights neighborhood by Bustalacklusta

Without the second amendment there wouldn’t be hundreds of millions of guns in the United States. Without hundreds of millions of guns, these people would be unlikely to have access to them.

Yea and even though machine guns are illegal, that means it should be sooooo hard to get a glock switch..............

Guns will always be smuggled in, my friend. Unless they're being smuggled to you, they're being smuggled to someone without your best interest in mind. We have the means to legally fight fire with fire. "Equality of opportunity" some would call it.

Before I continue, are you even an American?

It’s completely irrelevant whether they are American or not.

You don’t need to have rights in a foreign country to have an opinion of their society. Especially so if you live in one where daily mass shootings don’t happen.

Until you go to a gun store, do a 4473, and walk out with a gun, you are not aware of how the process even works. Also until you understand American city culture, kids with glocks at elementary school graduation, etc. So yes it matters if you're an American.

That's like me walking into a nuclear plant and telling the Director of Operations that he's doing something wrong. Who cares if I'm aware of the process, my opinion is just as valid, right?

Your experience filling out a sheet of paper isn’t necessary for a valid opinion. False equivalency.

It’s a sham process when it can be circumvented so easily anyway.

Lol I don't think you want to use that as a reference buddy.

Dude failed his background check. This failure should've triggered an investigation by the ATF. It should've triggered an investigation by the FBI. The mother and family was aware of mental illness. The mother had police oversee the transfer of the firearm to another party. Yet he still got his hands on it.

This isn't an example of needing more fun laws this is actually a perfect example of gun laws not working. And restricting guns even more will, again, not work. Criminals will find a way.

When we have no resources for the mentally ill, when we have incompetent federal agencies more concerned with disarming Americans than stopping mass shooters.

I agree that we have a problem. But I don't think it's the one you think it is.

It would be hard to find if the second amendment didn’t exist and Gun manufacturers weren’t able to flood the American market with guns.
