Question for those who think gun control won't solve anything: What is it that other places like Europe are doing that we aren't? Because you don't see very many mass shootings, most certainly not on the scale of this country where there have been more mass shootings* in 2015 then there have been days. *defined as 4 or more victims (or deaths,possibly?) in a single incident.

antiga posted:To me, this sounds like the people that say support the Patriot act because you shouldn't be afraid of surveillance if you're doing nothing wrong. That's bad logic for a number of reasons. Are the are restrictions on the 1st amendment also like the patriot act? Because that seems like a bit of a leap to me.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:Next thing I want to know is how did guns get to be so plentiful in the U.S. versus other countries? When, chronologically, did gun ownership per capita in the U.S. reach into the dozens as opposed to one or two and when did people really start to stockpile guns? Was it during the Wild West period? During the Civil Rights movement of the 60s/70s? Oddly enough, there was a fair amount of gun control in the (not really all that very) Wild West. In a significant number of towns you were required to leave your weapon with the local sheriff as a condition of entry and got it back when you left. Sadly the legend of the gunslinging cowboy duels are more fiction than fact, with a couple of exceptions.
