Can we have a rational discussion about guns and why the typical arguments for gun control and its implementation won't work?

[Trell]

When you go after machine guns, you're not looking at the real problem.

The real problem is that there are way too few guns in in USA so that honest and pure Americans can't protect themselves! Criminals don't respect laws, as you say, so any attempt at gun controls put Americans lives at risk from mass murder! Every child should have a loaded gun given to them at birth, but even better would a hand grenade! So when someone looks funny at you, or a teacher giving bad grades, you know what to do: Blow the f*ckers brains out! The 8 year old must be a criminal, and of course, any teacher giving bad grades!

That was sarcasm, btw.

This thread is one of the dumbest I've seen, and it started with the first post and the thread title. Completely moronic and cheered on by people that have never served, as well as immune to any science.

I'd think one of the gun people here would say, I believe in sensible gun rights, like rifles, shotguns, handguns, and bows. However, new machine guns----wow, that's nuts! Nobody says that, so I'd have to assume you'd like MGs if the feds ever removed the ban.
