Gun control America needs to change

You seem to be getting emotional so allow me to counter this with a logical argument. FIrst: The quote I was reffering too was this: You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass. Second: There has been dozens of cases of mass shooters getting killed/wounded and subdued until police have arrived on the scene. Without a gun to counter the bad guys gun these people would have killed much more people. That is how more guns makes everyone safer. If an armed gunman or gunwoman is shooting up a location, That gun can protect and save lives by stopping the shooter right in their tracks. > Look at the UK, There has only been 1 mass shooting since stricter gun laws were put in place. Since stricter gun laws took place in the UK, The amount of stabbings have skyrocketed through the roof. More people are getting stabbed in the UK then ever before and I bet this would go down if more citizens were armed. Lets not forget about terrorists running over people with cars ect. >! I think just like your driving test you should have to pay for this test and to have a licence for a gun. The practical test would ensure that you actually know how to use a gun safely. The theory test would be the part where you mental health, And your background is checked and yes I admit people could lie BUT it would still make it that little bit harder for people to access guns and could prevent some gun crimes from happening. It is worth doing even if it only saves a few lives. A test like this already exists, It isn't a test but a conceal carry permit class. An instructor shows you how to properly use a weapon responsibly and how to act if there is a mass shooter. It is required in order to get a concealed carry permit in most states. >The police and the military are there to protect you from any foreign invasion so you do not need a gun for that either If the commander in chief is corrupt and using these forces has his personal army, Then a well regulated militia is needed. I am stating this because this very thing is why the second amendment was made in the first place. Because the authority had weaponry but the common people didn't. You never know what the future holds for you, Especially if there is a second civil war and people are going crazy. >How is taking away guns going to make more people die of gun crime! You cannot shoot your way to peace! Only people left with guns will be criminals. Less responsible citizens having weaponry that could prevent crimes. Police cannot be everywhere at once and could abuse there power. >5. Cancer is not something that can be prevented. It is not a choice. You cannot compare someone dying because somebody shot them to somebody dying of cancer. America has the power to reduce gun crime, My main point to this was about heart disease and unhealthy eating. Also smoking causes cancer which is preventable. You never presented any factual argument to counter my original claim. Should we ban Mcdonalds and regulate the amount of junk food in our country as well? Heart disease and other illnesses caused by unhealthy eating kills more Americans then any gun has. Implementing an all out gun ban not only goes against the foundation of our country but will also cause great civil unrest with the amount of gun owners there are in this country who don't want to give up the only thing keeping them alive in situations with a robber, A rapist, Or a spre shooter. If only the police and military have weapons that could lead to wide spread corruption. All of your suggestions how to improve gun control are already in effect. Yes fully automatic killing machines should not be legal. https://www. Thesun. Co. Uk. . . https://www. Freedomsphoenix. Com. . . https://www. Washingtonpost. Com. . . http://patriotgunnews.
