The gun control debate has been a constant theme in American politics, but this year the debate has never been so intense. After the mass shooting at the Parkland, FL high school, which killed 17 people and wounded 17 others, scores of protesters marched through the country to demand stricter gun control. This may have been the largest march in US history, and the fervor it created still remains today. However, there is one giant issue regarding gun control that activists and politicians aren’t quite grasping.
Historically, technology often finds a way around government regulation. When governments censor the internet in some parts of the world, citizens will simply use innovative software to bypass the censorship. When governments outlaw a particular drug, chemists slightly change the chemical composition of the drug to get around the law. When risky financial instruments are regulated, bankers will tweak those instruments to get around the regulations.

There really isn’t a “will”, it IS impossible.
As soon as someone un-invents something we can talk gun control
They may try, but they will fail.

The USA is still reeling from 1963 and was blindsided in 1968. Thankfully, we are NOW always on guard against anti-gun extremism today.
I think it’s impossible because everybody who used to have ‘em have lost ‘em in freak accidents.
You can now 3D print a gun. Game over.
Because all the men aren’t dead. Yet.
It usually comes down to this:
Second Amendment
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Venezuela managed nicely though. It is America that remains that unique brightly shining light for the world given our amazing heritage. The fascinating thing is that most populations are conditioned to their particular brand of tyranny where we are the opposite, and pose the greatest threat to any potential tyrant as a people.
They’ll just ban 3D printers.
Too many guns, and too many unwilling to give them up. Molon Labe.
If they ban 3D printers only criminals will have 3D printers.
Think of all the countries with strict gun control. Now think about the mass shootings, bombing, knifing, etc that happens there.
What the idiot gun grabbers don’t get is what they really want is violence control. The ability to control bad people to prevent them from doing harm to others in a multi-killing way.
Timothy McVeigh didn’t use a gun and look how many people he killed. Suicide bombers routinely kill 60-100 people at a time. Poison or biological warfare isn’t that hard to do. Weaponize a virus to not kill for 2 weeks and spread it around a busy airport. Inside a month or two millions will be dead.
Someone needs to explain to these short-sighted gun grabbers that the method isn’t the problem. Bad guys will always find a way to kill lots of people if they put their mind to it. It’s the bad guys that are the problem. When they go berserk in a crowded place the best thing to have around is armed good guys to stop them. How is this very basic and logical truth not evident to them?
Sometimes I wish there was still a military draft.
That’s where my little pea brain went as soon as I read the headline. Not “will” at all.
The version approved by the States and certified by Sec of State Jefferson
does not have a comma between Arms and shall
This makes a big difference since it is then not modified by the ‘well regulated militia’ statement.
The 2A could have been just “The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”.
Why Gun Control Will Become IS Impossible
That's more like it.
