    It only took two minutes to see that the "Philosopher" is wrong

    The statistics comparing Australia and the US aren't in rough numbers, they are already pro rated based upon population, and when the narrator explaining it all in "other differences" she never covered, that was enough, the "Philosopher" is most likely an NRA sponsored video

    Australia doesn’t have a second amendment. We do. There is zero chance of repealing it. So why don’t we spend our time and resources on only things we can do?
    1) Strengthen security measures for all venues

    2) improve mental health management

    Then you should be able to provided visual proof of how she was wrong, instead of just saying so.

    Usually, to maintain credibility, when one jumps in with "your wrong" they offer proof showing how the other poster is wrong

    Should we wait?

    2) improve mental health management
    3) Making the purchase of a gun one of the most difficult things to accomplish rather than one of the easiest.
    4) Punish the living shit out of the person with the gun, the place where he obtained it and the manufacturer that promoted its sale.

    We should wait on your to prove you claim about the video. Didn't you say it was wrong?

    Why should a right to own something be difficult?

    Why would you punish someone that didn't misuse the gun?

    I still have mine and will until the day you're man enough to take them from me. When you coming to try, BOY?

    Nobody is talking about repealing any Amendment, nor grabbing anyone's guns, that is all NRA propaganda, and just to help you out, no Constitutional right is absolute, none, never have been nor will ever be, guns can be constitutionally regulated

    And importing mental health, which by the way the current President just cut funds to pursue, into the argument is just another way to deflect away from the three hundred million guns out there and the nearly open access to three million guns

    Nobody? Ever read for fat slob Michael Moore says about repealing it. He's not alone.

    I own FOUR of the type gun used in Florida. I have no doubt you think such guns should be illegal. I also have no doubt that you're not man enough to try and take mine from me.

    I think those would constitute infringement-no chance.
    I do like punishing perpetrators though, no mercy.

    You have a right to assemble, does that mean you and three of your buddies can walk into the White House and assemble in the President's office? Of course not, the right to assemble is regulated, does that mean it is difficult to exercise? All rights are regulated, why should the right you think you have to possess a gun be any different?

    Nearly all the shooters in recent mass shootings "didn't misuse the gun" until the moment they opened fire

    And forget the macho talk on an anonymous forum, based upon my experience the gun lovers who thought they were Chuck Norris actually turned out being Barney Fife

    How is someone that sales a gun and makes a gun a perpetrator? Do we punish the beer manufacturers when a drunk driver gets behind the wheel of a car? As for the shooter, no mercy.

    People constantly refer to the part of the 2nd amendment that say "not" and "infringed". Most ignore an equally, if not more important, word in the 2nd.
