Reply To: Is there any way to prevent mass shootings????

Ubiq
I don’t know what post you are referring to but I never came close to implying that I would shoot someone or be part of some mass uprising.
I fail to see how limiting guns would help anything, after all, it just takes one.
Apparently we will need to agree to disagree.
It is clear that non compliance will be an issue with any govt confiscation. It is clear that any govt that will turn millions into felons is a tyrannical govt. It is clear halachically that the right to defend yourself is a right. It is clear historically that govt’s that confiscated guns often did so as a precuser to repression. From tanach (twice its mentioned that the plishtim forbade weapons in order to repress) to the Warsaw ghetto. It is clear that the second amendment allows gun ownership. It is clear that mass shootings are a fairly recent scourge and therefore unlikely directly linked to gun ownership. It is clear that the vast majority of gun owners who are law abiding citizens never commit felonies with their weapons
What isn’t clear is that limiting guns would help one iota
