Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
@961, I think your fear-mongering here. Your saying that guns should be banned just because of a bunch of probabilities that you can't prove will actually happen. Here's the truth: banning weapons has absolutely no effect, at all. There are more than 500 million guns in the country -- probably a lot more than that, even. You can't ban a particular class of gun, or a particular class of weaponry, period. People will still attain it. All you do is make it harder for law-abiding citizens to acquire weaponry. But your criminal won't give a damn about those supposed "bans". Your criminal, if they can't buy it from the store, will import it, get it off the black market or any number of other things. Revoking the second amendment (any part of it) because (1) COVID, (2) the amount of purcahses of weaponry has been higher than usual this year, and (3) there's this possibility that those gun owners could start killing random people for no reason is stupid. And it won't do anything. Its not actually enforceable, and its been shown that the more you try to control weaponry, the more bad things happen as a result. And if you go on the path of take away all the guns... well, your just opening the door for a bloodbath. My point is: banning guns -- or any kind of weapon -- doesn't do anything and only increases criminal activity as a result because the criminals know they can get away with more. Ultimately, if you do that, you force the citizens to rely on the police to solve all their problems with criminals. And though most people in the nation do that, many also have guns. If you take away the second amendment, you've just made it illegal for anyone in the nation to defend themselves from attackers in public -- or even at home -- using the most effective means that are available to them, and forced them to always call the police. By the time the police get there, a conflict could be over with the criminals victorious and everyone there dead. If you allowed everyone the opportunity to own a gun, and a few did, then the outcome could be a lot more favorable; by the time the police got there at least there'd be people alive trying to defend everyone else. I've seen all sorts of arguments against the second amendment and most of its just the same nonsense over and over again. And I haven't even mentioned how un-successful you'd be trying to get 3/4 of the states to agree to do it either.
I don't want to politicize this topic about guns, but I had to take the bate regarding this particular problem. Back to coronavirus.
