If you voted for Binden (or someone voted for you for Biden), you have to give up your guns.

Problem solved.

More people are killed with hammers each year than in mass shootings.

60% of “gun deaths” are suicides. Lefties are all for assisted suicide. Why the double standard?

The vast preponderance of remaining gun violence is gangbangers killing each other.

how do we reduce the total number of guns in [the] country?

If more people used high capacity magazines we wouldn't need as many guns.

“And so, when you get a lonely young man who’s detached and sociopathic, getting a gun for that person is not hard.”


David Brooks left out “crazed Muslim Jihadi”. Wonder why?

Freedom is more important than safety.

The rest of the world wants safety yet then they constantly look to the U.S. to fix things for them and bail them out when things go wrong. The reason the U.S. is the country that's looked to as the world's moral compass is precisely because we prioritize freedom.

The freedom to own firearms is the ability to control your own destiny, that's what separates us from the rest of the world which denies this basic human right. That's why the U.S. is the country that's looked to as the beacon of human rights. You can't be a moral country and deny a basic human right like self determination, which is what the second amendment is about. If you suppress that right we'll be a bunch of enslaved eunuchs like the rest of the world that stand around patting themselves on the back about how safe they are while their masters force them to do their bidding.

I might be wrong but I don’t think that Australia has a certain segment of their population that is responsible for the majority of their crimes and hell bent on killing each other in their respective drug flooded neighborhoods..........Just a whimsical thought.

"Reducing the number of guns" did not have an effect in Australia. That is a myth.

Reducing the number of legal guns does not reduce the number of illegal guns or reduce crime or violence. That is another myth.

Draconian Gun Control Does not Reduce Gun Numbers or Homicide Rates

Eliminate or deport all communists/socialists, ISIS supporters, and drug gangsters...

Robbers, other thieves & crooks, and perverts are manageable parts of any civilization and will always be with us...

So-called gun problem solved... IMHO...

Limiting the constitutional rights of dangerous, mentally ill folk would be a good start. Then, look at young urban black males and see what the homicide rate is, particularly with guns. When you get done with that, Mr. Brooks, let me know.

Hi.

Let me be nice to David Brooks.

David, I trust me and my family owning weapons, more than you and your bodyguards. Who will flee from you and your family when the SHTF.

Trust me on this one Brooks.

"...We just have to have a debate on how do we reduce the total number of guns in [the] country? And other countries have done this, Australia and others, through buybacks and other things..."

Australian Gun Control is a Leftist Talking Point.

The vast majority of people who commit violence with firearms are Leftists.

There are many illegal guns in the hands of gangs, criminals, drug lords, i.e. Bolshekrat supporters. Maybe, David Brooks can figure out how gets guns out of the hands of low lifes.

Nope.

Jailing criminals would work better.
