It's baked into our colonial culture 2). We have very liberal gun laws #2 is a natural (and Constitutional) right, so nothing will change there. So the only way to stop gun violence then is a massive cultural sea change. I have no idea how to go about doing that. Are there any limits on gun laws you would be alright with? Freedom of speech has restrictions. Hell, right to bear arms has restrictions already. I can't own a bazooka, and no matter how much I beg I need it for home defense the government will not let me buy a tank. Why not further restrict the kind of guns civilians can own? Because it's a natural right to own a weapon that would defend your family from a mob. I truly do not think that can be reconciled with the kinds of laws that might actually prevent mass shootings (meaning you'd have to ban every semi-automatic weapon, which would be a violation of said right). --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:925664495] in Politics C...
