Nope. It's because that might uncover very inconvenient truths for gun fondlers.

Since gun fondlers are impervious to reason, it's better to start from the extreme position. You want every toddler carry an untraceable gun suitable only for crimes but not for legitimate self-defence?

Fine. So we want to ban all guns then.

Ah, so you don't deny that you hate democracy? Good, now that we have your admission of guilt we can proceed with the assumption that you're a terrorist.

Oh, and get your facts straight - I'm a leftist commie statist. To become a dictator one should first become the ultimate power.

Ah, I was not aware that you're The Official Speaker For All the Men and Women (Including Transgender Persons) Of The United States.

Meanwhile, the actual people in the US overwhelmingly support sane gun laws (mandatory registration, background checks and so on).

So why do you hate democracy? Why do you hate America? Are you some kind of terrorist?

No amendment necessary. Just reinterpret the "well-organized" words and presto!

They can do it right now with child porn or drugs. Why should I care specifically about guns?

They cause crime. That's demonstrably true. It's just that crime falls so much that additional gun deaths are masked. Then this happens: http://thesocietypages.org/soc...

Because it doesn't? Especially when compared with other countries with sane gun laws.

And in Germany they fell without gun ownership.

Can I open a bar and a trash dump near your house?

Lots of countries restrict gun ownership and yet are much freer than the US. So I call BS on this.

Then this militia replaced the local gang and business was back to normal.

Yeah, and also ban all gun death research. No data = no problem! Ignorance is strength!

I think the best way forward would be to take a page from those nice police officers in Cleveland and just legalize shooting anyone carrying a gun. Outright and without any questions.

Except that nobody actually collects those stats. CDC is expressly forbidden from studying gun death epidemiology. Well, truth has always been the enemy of conservatives.

There's a simple solution for that problem. Own a gun => go to jail law. After a few years most of guns will naturally be cleared from streets.

Because gun nuts are totally trembling in fear that they might be deprived of their penis-extenders. And they won't be able to protect their homes and precious little children without at least AR-15 and a bazooka.

For the record, I support gun ownership with strict background checks, regular checks for gun safety and mandatory serial numbers on firing pins.
