Its about power. You all masquerade that it is about protecting your civil liberties and your constitution, but it is not is it? start being honest with yourselves and others about the real reason you want to keep your gun. It is about feeling powerful isn't it? That is all it is, you think that owning a gun makes you powerful, because you have the ability to take somebodys life should you choose to do so. This makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, that you have the power to end a life at the detention of your trigger finger. You do not want your government to take this power away from you because it will leave a void in your life. You feel so strongly about this that you are willing to see so many deaths of your citizens each year to uphold your right to feel powerful oops i mean bear arms.
Maybe if you all started being honest about why you really don't want gun control, then us outsiders might be able to accept your reasoning.
Just a thought.

The whole gun violence thing is really escalating to untenable levels already. Don't you all see that it just can't continue this way much longer? You'll all just go mad with paranoia from the sheer weight of the constant stress.
You have to correct the ills of society there. You need the security that community and trust provide. You're living for material goods but you're dying just as fast for them. Is it really worth it? How can it be?

Do you really NOT see how shallow this thinking is? 75,000,000 firearm owners killed no one today....didn't even think about it.

I have the power to kill someone if I so chose, and I don't own a gun. I have two hands and a brain, and I know ho to use them.
What's your point?
