No offense but why would I care at all what a non-American thinks? They are not governed by this law and so have 0 say in what it should be since it is not a rights violation. I am only sorry you all live with such a lack of a basic right and find it normal. From the other perspective: gun rights are under constant attack from fearmongering media and I find that bonkers. All it takes is one (1) psycho POS shooting up a school for the media to run a month of coverage claiming that everybody should now lose a fundamental right. Ffs most people agree that criminal activity doesn't justify violating everybodys rights (like police state measures), why is this specifically different? Because the media machine works for a political class that wants a disarmed and castrated electorate. Theres been a creeping advance against these rights since the 1930s with the NFA passing and gun grabbers have been constantly demanding more for these 100 years with small concessions then larger infringements, racheting toward less gun rights, slowly but surely hellbent on taking away our weapons. Most of this is enabled by bullshit judicial activism that twists 2a for matters of convenience and political ends.

I hate that pro gun propaganda is seeping in to our country and gun access is getting more relaxed allowing psychos to get armed. I want my right not to get shot to be intact. The police isn't also assuming you are armed during routine stops so they aren't so trigger happy.

  > I hate that pro gun propaganda is seeping in to our country and gun access is getting more relaxed allowing psychos to get armed. What "pro gun propaganda" is this exactly? Gun access is not getting more relaxed - talk about propaganda. The Federal form you are required to fill out at any gun shop in the country asks you to declare whether you have ever been adjudicated as mentally defective or have ever been confined in a mental institution. Answering Yes will result in your firearm purchase being denied. We can't know ahead of time that someone is going to go off the deep end and go on a shooting spree. You can't legislate this risk away short of banning guns completely and confiscating all of them, which is unrealistic/impossible. Let's ban alcohol as well because it kills twice as many people as guns do (half of which are suicides) annually. I'm an independent that shares plenty of the Democrat party's positions, but gun control isn't one of them. Guns are tools than can be used and misused like any other tool.

> No offense but why would I care at all what a non-American thinks? As a non American who doesn’t live in US, I agree with you on this. I guess most of the non-Americans also don’t care that deeply about your gun laws. Sometimes we see the incidents and perceive the loss of life to be painful. But this is human nature and it exists in me and you alike. Sometimes non-Americans might express their opinions on this matter which I believe is fine. Just an opinion. :)
