Agreed.  It’s a horrible country with no redeeming qualities. You should leave immediately.

The Uvalde cops did NOT take out that shooter, US Border Patrol did. So in the end not a single one of those Uvalde cops were a “good guy with a gun”. Your facts are wrong.

No.  We live in far too violent a society to ask me and others to disarm ourselves.  I’m not asking you to pay more taxes to expand a law enforcement apparatus for my benefit,  but I demand the right to protect myself, irregardless of others who abuse that right.  There was another stabbing in my old neighborhood recently.  An individual walked into the Encino Hospital, blocks from my old crib,  and stabbed a doctor and several nurses. Who knows if this could have been prevented by someone with a firearm.

We have the most easily accessible guns of any nation, and have the MOST mass shootings and gun deaths by a large margin.  Huh.  Can’t imagine why…a country with a “low tax” craze, NO national mental health care system, and an endless supply of guns.  WHO KNEW that could be a problem!  :/And exactly how is “good guys with a gun”(tm Fox News) supposed to stop someone from shooting your house in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT while you’re asleep  (sigh)

Repeal 2A?  Easy peasy.  Just get Pramila Jayapal to write an amendment repeal resolution, get at least 289 other representatives and 38 senators to approve it, then get 38 states to ratify.  Then what happens? Congress is free to pass a federal law outlawing firearms except for police and military. Then approve massive spending increases for: A) Tracking down, collecting and disposing existing guns, ammo, and tooling. B) Hugely increased border and internal security to prevent new guns being imported and trafficked. C) Orwellian surveillance of anyone with the skills and/or equipment capable of arms design and manufacture.  Will that result in a massive decrease in gun violence? I don’t know. How did prohibition work when we tried it with alcohol and drugs?

Pretty sure any one of those dozens of cops in Uvalde could’ve been a good guy and taken out that bad guy with a gun. In fact, that’s exactly what happened. Sadly they were an hour and twenty mins too late. But after the failure of allowing someone to have a gun when they clearly shouldn’t, unfortunately you end up with situations where virtually nothing but a gun or other violent means will stop someone.  There’s nothing magical about an object like a gun. There are however very big differences between all of us and many shouldn’t be able to own them. That’s where the outrage should be placed in my opinion.

That only removes guns from law abiding ppl, not criminals. If they’re willing to shoot indiscriminately, I doubt they’ll hand those guns over if we repeal the 2nd amendment.

But with so many absolute idiots out there with guns this is not so surprising.  Really dangerous and shameful behavior!  And the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun – what a bunch of total garbage!
