Edit; Look I'm sorry for the rant but there are families that are crying themselves to sleep tonight because they will never, ever, get to speak, hold, laugh with and love those people ever again. It's fcukin' horrible. These people can't just be 'collateral damage' because of a right. Somethings gotta give man...for fcuks sake. It just makes me angry.....

Your arguments remind me of people in the UK being self-righteous because they have less gun crime. Sure they have more stabbings and people getting acid thrown in their face, but they have less gun crime so it's ok......

What nobody outside of the USA will ever understand is that this nation was forged by the gun, and you can't put that back in the box. There is no reasonable scenario that will take guns off of the streets, we are talking about literally millions of weapons in legal and illegal hands. So if you increase enforcement and attempt to get guns off of the streets via law enforcement, guess what? You end up taking guns from the law abiding citizens who obtained them legally. Because common sense would dictate that criminals who obtained guns illegally will also not turn them in simply due to a law enforcement mandate. So what now? You have lawfully armed citizens who have been stripped of their ability to defend themselves, and you have criminals who still have guns. Not a really good situation, no? This is what we call Chicago, which is statistically one of the most dangerous places in the world. Not a glowing example of gun control effectiveness in America.
