Guns are killing people
People
They are a problem, and you really don't require them in the way you imagine.
If guns were a problem you'd know it.

When did inanimate objects suddenly become a problem??
I always thought it was the people behind the object in question, be it a gun, or a chainsaw, or any other tool. Learn something new every day.

It might be good to make it mandatory
So some small church that barely makes a few hundred a week is going to pay for armed security?

the morons you call out....are in the way of tyranny....friggin big time
Massive gun ownership is not preventing tyranny it’s created a tyranny of mass fear
300+ million guns in America. What mass fear? People are going about their daily lives every day. What is the stat you guys love to tout? You're more likely to die in a car wreck then in a terrorist attack?
What you fail to say is that those 300 million firearems are in less then 10% of households.

Read up on asymmetric, more commonly known as guerrilla warfare, and you'll notice that bigger, supposedly badder, military's can have all sorts of issues dealing with supposedly weaker opposition.
Afghanistan. Vietnam. various places in Africa.
The opposition has all those new fangled laser guided wonder weapons, and all I have is my little ol' AR-15, or equivalent?
Oh, dear... Just means I'll have to use my AR-15 and some friends to get something a bit better, doesn't it? Before making such statements one should first study up on the topic. Asymmetric warfare has been successful more than a few times in history...
