Why do people hold on to their guns so religiously. It is proven that we should get rid of them to make the streets safe. Don't we want proof that a god exist. It's not there. Now we have proof all over the world on how to handle guns. Just look abroad, look at numbers, how many died compared to other civilized countries. People hang on to it as if it's a religion. The ones that hold on to guns sound to me like apologists. They find the smallest irrelevant thing, blow it up and say: 'you see there is your proof we need to hang on to our guns.' There is no leg to stand on anymore after the things that happened here. Think critically, question everything and look at evidence.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I think pro-gun people react to the gun issue emotionally. They conflate gun use with patriotism and masculinity. They FEEL they would be emasculated if they lost their guns. No THINKING required. This is why sensible gun restrictions make no sense to them. They accept no rational argument. It's emotional.

I am not against the 2nd amendment, I just believe we need stricter background checks, raising the age to 21 to be able to buy a gun and bump stocks and assault rifles need to be banned. There is no reason to own a weapon that can kill multiple people at once. If you need an assault rifle to shoot a deer, you should probably just buy your meat in packages, because your aim sucks.

@PhitDoctor50 Not if trained. One shot. One kill. Double tap if needed.
@TheGreatShadow thanks for confirming my point. For the record i have been robbed at gun point.
Um. The ones who’ve endangered me are the ones who would not have had guns if we had better gun laws. And I will still be an atheist in the trenches.
@dversluis1972 It sucks that you had to go through that. I sincerely mean that.
As for me, I can't give you details due to legalities, but everyone has the right to defend themselves. Not talking about firearms in specific.
@PhitDoctor50 I agree
@PhitDoctor50 Thanks for the laugh. Talk to anyone (if they will talk) if they are certified in expert pistol or rifle.
Have a good day.

@PhitDoctor50 Sharpshooter is below expert.
Simply put, the 2nd amendment. It says " the right to bare arms shall not be infringed"

If it is in a document or book it does not mean it is true or correct to follow. There is a nice scetch from jim jeffreys about it.
@dversluis1972 I didn't say it was right, he asked why and I answered
