    You could make it legal to frisk anyone at any time. Or you could make it legal to lock away anyone who's ever been thought to be difficult or angry or "prone" to mass violence. Those would definitely make it slightly more difficult. Would they be good for the country?

    Should we legalize bombs and grenades?

    Countries that have stricter gun laws (virtually all) have much, much lower gun violence rates. Apparently the criminals aren't all running around shooting the helpless, unarmed citizens.

    In many countries the USA is viewed as the gun-happy Wild West. I used to think that was funny and ignorant.

    So if guns are made illegal, all the guns out there now will just magically vanish into thin air?

    When do you feed your pet unicorn?

    Show your work.

    I believe that those people determined to kill someone would have a more difficult time doing so without guns. A perfectly reasonable statement.

    You believe ...

    Well, of course it would. Let's not be dumb.

    One could argue that we should have the freedom to choose to use guns responsibility, but of course they make killing people easier.

    Tell me again how the forefathers fought tooth and nail to ensure American citizens would be able to walk into a school with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S Glock 20SF capable of shooting down 20 children and six adults in less than 10 minutes.

    Ty Webb: Guns are illegal now Mr. Criminal. You have to surrender your gun or you'll go to jail.

    Mr. Criminal: Well, golly gee, I guess I better surrender my gun then...
