All guns should be smart and only usable by their registered owner and not possible to be disabled or affected by outside transmissions.

In theory yes. But in reality there's no way an amendment on an issue this polarizing would pass 2/3 of Congress as well as 3/4 of the states. Which is a big part of why this whole debate is really depressing: there's no way any really meaningful change can happen given the current makeup of the country and government.

So change guns.

Why is everyone for remedial guns? We need smart guns for our nation's future!

Nah more like reducing poverty rates. The sad fact is poor people tend to do more crime, and you tend to do less crime when you're living comfortably.

What's the average income of a mass shooter?

Is the problem here that were afraid that if guns are smart people will be priced out of the market? :ohdear:

If the premise of the argument is correct and people are just as capable of killing humans using boards with nails in them as they are with firearms it seems odd that every major combat force in the world for at least the last two centuries has preferred to equip its soldiers with firearms and not with boards with nails in them. I think I have an idea to save billions in our military budget

Alternatively let's make the guns so advanced they go full pentagon wars.

Raven how do you feel about smart guns?

No one in this thread will talk to me about smart guns.

Pew pew pew.

Ok I have to admit my smart guns plan is all about reducing the amount of guns to ones people actually use and having them registered to their legal owners only:so its a lot harder for people to LARP rambo and shoot people up at the next avatar movie because they're sure all the viewers are secret na'vi having a communal meeting to take over earth. Im being honest its not just slapping cool blinky lights on guns there is a policy component so lets do that ok instead of just pretending each individual component exists in a vaccum. Ok good.

Funny thing about the Zimmerman example is that the gun was probably the reason things escalated that far in the first place.

The important thing here to remember is one had skittles and one had a gun.

If they both had skittles AND guns no one would have died.

funny, I don't think it's funny at all when a child is killed.

Whats so special about children dying? Is not every living person entitled to the potential sweat of their own brow, to be allowed to proceed to greatness?

What about how swimming pools kill more kids than guns?

Hmmm the basis of the American economy or cars...
Yep totally a good faith argument.

Just trying to fulfill the prophecy:

No, this sentiment has never ended badly for anyone.

You know the real reason guns are bad? They're a luxury item with walmart prices. Death is too cheap.

Yes. History has shown that banning a thing results in a net positive.
It is a great idea.

Do me a favor. List those rifle types in order of lethality for me. You can add in handguns for shits and giggles.

People die when they are killed.

That last one might cause more property damage though.
