    Too many guns getting in the hands of the wrong people. Bad people. Criminals.

    How about I ask you what’s more important? Taking AR-15’s from soccer moms or building new bridges and railroad tracks? Everyday when you sit in traffic on some antiquated dilapidated freeway are you actually giving a shit about whether some harmless soccer mom has an AR-15?

    Putting gun control before an infrastructure program is a total loser position. Bottom line.

    How many times we gotta say that the US is not gonna bring out tanks into or bomb suberbia. It's ridiculous that anyone imagines that would happen. That would signal the collapse of our democracy.

    Which would be a huge w for the militia even if they got rofl stomped.

    I agree with this. There has to be some incentive. Americans don't trust the government so it needs to be monetary. But it has to be a decent amount of money. The government is cheap as ****. But if they gave everyone say....10K, that would do it. The government can afford it. If they come talking 1K, its not gonna happen.

    Okay.

    Out of shape soccer mom in her 40s with an AR15 without body armor or training of any kind taking on the US army armed with M4s and smoke/flash nades in street combat. Good luck.

    yea, a task force could def happen. Not to seem like a dick, but whenever people act like the US military is gonna go full syria on us, it makes me sigh. And basically as you said they wouldn't need to.

    It's mainly just balance. That's why NK doesn't wanna give up their nukes. Not cuz they could do that much with them, but the destruction/hassle it would cause would deter a lot of low level stuff.

    The problem w/ something like a gun buyback, to me, is if you put the price right people could probably sell their guns and get new ones illegally. Like dude said, there are so many guns, but most are probably in cases and will never be used 'seriously.'

    Guns are a necessary evil for democracy, imo, but we do need people to stop shooting up places. Some day, guns might be the last power we have. Tangible things are more important than something fake like money. Tools are good, and guns are really powerful tools, albeit mostly for destructive purposes. As long as we have guns, people will always have to take us seriously (for better or worse.) We don't want to take power away from the people. Or I don't, even tho I don't want a gun. When shit goes down I'll borrow someone else's haha.
