The rest of the world simply don't understand WHY Americans Love Our Guns.
To: Sir Napsalot
The CNN and Gallop polls quoted is standard leftist agenda on how to frame the question.
Some form of gun control, (um ok, id/criminal background check.) Versus No control at all.
What would be your answer?

What is it about Americans and their guns ?
If you even have to ask this question, Mr. Mayor, (or anybody else) you have absolutely no idea about how America works.

I’d opt for zip....no controls whatsoever. Let society take care of any trash who use a gun to commit a crime. The more guns, the less crime....and that is WELL documented. There will always be bad guys with guns, and they couldn’t care less about gun controls, gun laws, gun restrictions, yada yada, ad nauseum.

Bloomberg would be much happier just giving up on America. We will never become his little toadies and think his thoughts and do his bidding.
I recommend that he move to Lagos, Nigeria. They could use his money.

Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

>>> There are an estimated 270 million guns in the hands of civilians in the United States, making Americans the most heavily armed people in the world per capita.
They (the author) say it like this is really a bad thing.

“What would be your answer?”
My answer is that gun control is an intellectual fraud. It defies logic, cannot be supported by actual facts, and the only people who are interested creating such measures are people who want to see some European nanny-state style government in the US, or worse, which makes their motives automatically un-American and their actions treasonous.

My answer. No federal gun control laws, limits or restrictions on arms or ammunition whatsoever.
The Second Amendment is clear on the matter.
Once the private ownership of crew served weapons become common, maybe we’ll eventually revisit the matter.

Why is gun control the only fundamental right to be repeatedly threatened and maligned? You do not hear anyone advocating the repeal of women’s suffrage, or wanting to reinstate slavery, why is the 2nd Amendement the exception?

Giving up my guns wouldn't make anyone safer, other than perhaps someone wanting to do harm to my family or me.
I imagine the same is true for the tens of millions of other lawful gun owners.
Leftists must be pretty damn stupid not to understand that.

Because of all the grand words and high ideals of the Constitution, the 2ND Amendment is the only part of the document that reminds the federal government, as well as the citizens, that the people will not be deprived of the means to protect the rest.
Remove those 27 words and the remainder is absolutely nothing.

” those guns shoot more than 100,000 people a year. “
Oh yeah, right. Sounds like someone just made up a nice, large, round number.
Outside of Detroit, DC, New Orleans etc... gun crime is relatively low.

Back in the time of the Revolution it was common for private individuals to own and use cannon that could fire anywhere from 32 to 42 pounds of lead at one shot.
These were mostly crew served weapons.
If we got back to the standards of the 18th century we definitely could be doing some stuff eh!
