I have never been shot, been shot at , never even had a gun pointed at me (outside of LEOS).
So tell me then, how exactly will not having a gun detrimentally impact you?
You have a demonstrably sick society and some mess-up notion that having a gun will make you safer.
It won't.
Maybe not But I feel safer.. And i tell you what If I am ever at the mall or something and someone starts shooting it up I for one will be shooting back..

Gun control is the same as speech control.
We're talking about rights here. Not some government allowance.

We're too far gone anyway. The NRA rewrote the 2nd amendment too long ago (wasn't actually that long ago). It's hard to remember, but it was fairly recent that this new take on the 2nd amendment set out to rewrite the constitution (a sad day). And now we act like the constitution actually states that individuals have the right to bear arms for self-protection or hunting (it doesn't). What you've got is British common law, from over 239 years ago, an activist judge, & the NRA. Go lobbyists!as
Would a gun grab work... nope. Too far gone. And too much riled-up fear among the gun-toters (over a law that got rewritten).

I'd hate to be caught in that crossfire...

BTW, American gun owners are NOT violent. We have well over 200 million guns and trillions of rounds of ammo. If we were violent, you would KNOW it. The violence is mostly in the inner cities and drug and gang related----thug-on-thug and gang-on-gangs.

Don't you believe in due process? Why should rights be suspended simply because someone placed you on a list?
