Topic	If being pro-gun is "macho" then why are so many of them so whiny?

Stopping people under 21 from buying a gun would help. Hell, I'd make it higher. A gun is definitely more dangerous than a beer. Also I'd say owning a firearm should be the same process as owning a car. You need a license (not just concealed carry, even hunters and sports shooters need a license to own their guns) and every weapon's serial number will be attached to the person who owns it, no matter where you buy it (pawn shop, gun show, licensed retailer, etc.). I feel like the only reason it isn't is because it's in the constitution. Just because something is a right doesn't mean the nation shouldn't trust people with it carte blanche. Rights still take responsibility to execute, even if you are entitled to it, and you can have your rights revoked if you don't do so. None of this would change anything. How do you know? You truly think that banning the sale of guns to people with violent crimes in their history would do nothing? You truly think universal background checks would do nothing? Pretty much everybody who studies these kinds of things for a living disagree with you and your only answer seems to be "nope". Which is further stupid because other countries that do implement these things undeniably have vastly lower levels of mass shootings. Even if it wouldn't work, I think even you have to acknowledge there is so much evidence towards it's viability that it COULD work, and if you have something that even has a chance of reducing the amount of mass shootings we have in this country, isn't that worth risking a little "unnecessary bureaucracy"? How many innocent people's lives is avoiding "unnecessary bureaucracy" worth to you? --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:910849381] in If being p...
