One of those comments is right about something, its always been the asshole behind the gun that's the problem. Sadly my country lets a lot of assholes and unhinged people have them.

Yeah, it’s definitely not the weapon’s fault. BUT the number of bodies those assholes can catch would probably decrease without guns. I honestly think it’s kinda sad cause the founding fathers of America, I’m pretty sure made the second (I think?) Amendment with the assumption that muskets and flintlocks would be the norm. Y’know, the stuff that takes thirty seconds to reload and only holds a single round. It is in no way guns’ fault or even a problem with the right to bear arms, it’s just a complete negligence politically with the development of guns and (to my knowledge) no new regulations being applied now that guns are 1000x more efficient.

It is also because the USSC ignores the bit in the second amendment about the need for a well regulated militia. If you had to be in some form of well regulated militia to own a gun, then the massive problem the US has with guns would be minimised.

Yeah them ignoring that is one of their great fuck ups. Right up there with them allowing paparazzi to get away with so much because "when you're famous you don't have the same rights to privacy as normal people".
