I basically support whatever gun control will lower the murder rate. In principle, I don't care about the "right" to own a gun.
Then you support increased gun rights? The violent crime rate is down in the US. So not only are we getting calls for outright bans, but keyboard warriors wanting to confiscate citizens property. Why is this place such an echo chamber? A gun is a tool. A very important tool for recreation, self defense, and putting food on the table. I don't think anti gun rights keyboard warriors have any idea actually how many guns exist in the US especially in certain regions. If guns really were an epidemic problem you would see these shootings in vastly different places. Gun Ranges in Alabama, a Gun Store in rural Iowa. The places with strong gun cultures are not seeing these mass shootings.
Why? Because these shootings are all done by cowards. They choose intentional soft targets where they won't be shot at back. Most of the guys including the Columbine shooters, the Virginia Tech shooter and the latest shooter all shot themselves when authorities arrived.
The common factors of these shootings are soft targets, areas without a strong gun culture, and cowardly beta males.
