      For what it’s worth, the majority of the nation doesn’t worship guns. But the very small minority that does, like… They worship them a lot.

      This one is far more complicated than non-americans think. I’ve spoken to people outside the country, and they tend to only listen to the really dumb democrats when it comes to this issue.

      You can’t close Pandora’s box. There are 393 million guns in the hands of civilians here. If you have a crazy neighbor with a gun, you kind of have to go get one yourself. That, or devise another method of viable self defense. The cops won’t help you, not in virtually any situation.

          The other realistic option is that he shoots me empty handed. No one is going to take his gun and no one is going to save me in time.

              Well I can’t go back in time to preemptively stop them from getting a gun in the first place, I’d love to hear any suggestions you have for that situation.

                Amend your holy constitution.

                Won’t happen until you stop worshiping guns and the 2nd amendment.

                  “Just do something a large portion of the country would kill to stop from happening” isn’t a good solution, but you know that. If reason was going to work, we would have used it decades ago.

        Funny, though, that there have been working methods of reducing the number of guns in civilized countries in the past.

        But somehow every gun-toting American is totally convinced that reducing the amount of guns on the road is technically impossible,
