I'm not an american and guns are not legal where i live. And i'm sorry but most people in the world are way to daft and angry and should NOT be allowed to be anywhere near a gun.

And no, just because someone with a gun would want to hurt me but then i would have a gun too, is not a valid response. I'm not gonna survive a shootout. I'm not john wick.

idk it's an interesting conversation to have, but it's also like saying that owning swords should be illegal or at the very least highly regulated because they can be dangerous.

I don't have a fundamental problem with people owning guns, or dangerous things, i have a fundamental problem with people who have a violent history getting access to guns however.

Then again, an assault rifle can fire roughly ten rounds a second, and you'd have great difficulty stabbing ten people every second with a sword, there is a difference in dangerousness

you would have incredible difficulty in landing ten rounds per second, into ten different people, per second. Especially from distance.
