    Statiscally, there is a significant possibility that it will. In many states, stand your ground laws would let you get away with killing someone even if they were unarmed and not physically violent towards you.

    No one’s saying you should be charged with a crime, however measures need to be taken to ensure public safety overall. The 2nd Amendment shouldn’t supercede the right to life, and yet it directly facilitates loss of life.

    How many mass shootings do other Western countries have? What’s different in how they handle guns under law? The flaws are glaringly obvious, yet you cling to them out of nothing but pure selfishness.

    You don’t need guns, you want them, but people need to live and are dying because of how prevalent guns are.

        Why are your 2nd Amendment rights important?

        Specifically, why is it more important than all the deaths very clearly causes?

        Congress absolutely does have the right to regulate and remove your rights. They do it all the time.

                No, you said that all your rights were important, and compared it to rights that obviously are important. I’m saying that the right to have guns is nowhere near as important as the right to free speech. I’m asking you to justify the statement you made.

                Why is it important for you to have the right to own and use guns with no meaningful restrictions?
