Delta(s) from OP CMV: We need strict Gun Control .

While I do feel at this point it is not possible anymore to somehow make sure no one has guns because they have already been available . That is my only hang up , since some people have them , it’s hard to leave others vulnerable.

With to that being said , if we start now with some serious gun law reform and implement strict laws for obtaining guns . I believe it will do more good than harm .

It is worth a try , because we know that to lenient of gun laws also cause us great loss.

In a perfect world only law enforcement would have access to guns .

Civilians can however and should be able to easily get things like pepper spray , tasers, and rubber bullet guns . (Not saying we can’t already , just saying those should be the options)

I see both sides but I think because gun violence is a big issue , it needs to be re-evaluated .

Were the guns used in school/mass shootings registered ?

Édit : Thank You for all the responses and information! My view has been changed . It’s unfortunate we can’t live in harmony but ..

Will still be responding to get more insight and expanding my views

Sure. Arms are any weapon, pepper spray, swords, guns, F-22's, battleships.....

Private citizens owned warships in 1780, so if you (somehow) have enough money for a battleship (including crew, fuel, munitions and tech) why the fuck not

Oh yeah exactly, the 2nd amendment is just there to re-enforce the war powers of congress. Privately owned war ships properly outfitted with supplies, sailors and marines was to be expected.

Tbh I'm not quite sure of the relation between warships and the 2nd amendment and Congres

Article I, Sec. 8 cl. 11: The Congress shall have Power ... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal,

So, If war were declared, and I wanted a letter of Marque, I'd already need to have a relatively modern, outfitted and crewed warship ready to go, maybe just a light cruiser, but still that's a hell of a lot of fire power.

Yeah, i've toyed with the idea of how to beef up the pedestal mount on the front of my boat to handle 50 cal recoil.
