How many people can a pencil kill in a short amount of time before the person behind the attacks are stopped?
How many people can a gun kill in a short amount of time before the person behind the attacks are stopped?
You really think a pencil could do this attack? With this logic, everything is a weapon. Lamps, xbox controllers, statues, a diecast Iron Man Hot Toy.
Founding fathers created the second amendment on the basis that majority of guns were single shot muskets, pistols, and long rifles. Majority of which were dual purposed for war and hunting. Guns were a way of life... back then. I doubt if they could see the destruction modern guns do today and the purpose they are used for, that they would have passed the second amendment.
Second chance to ban guns was in the 60s when JFK was pushing for some form of it. That didn't happen.
Pretty much impossible to do anything about it now. Guns carried by public citizens, to my knowledge, have never stopped a mass shooter before, so I don't understand the point of carrying them. I would bet guns carried by public citizens have done more harm than good as well.
