    No. Because the whole point of guns is to equalize people regardless of skill. Normal people can’t spend their lives training, terrorists can.

      “Everyone can kill people regardless of skill” seems much worse than 'only highly skilled people can". None of these shooters ever “spent their life training”.

      Look man, I just want less gun violence in this country. And my solution is to ban guns. If you have a better idea I’m all ears.

        It’s pretty easy to get guns in my country yet there’s still not much gun violence. Similarly a lot of the states with the most lax gun laws in the US have the least gun violence.

          These aren’t actual solutions. Taking aways all guns is a concrete step. We need concrete steps from the gun loving crowd.

            Lol good luck with that, you anti-gun crowds really want to start a civil war that you wouldn’t survive in.

                  Yea, had to really zoom out to see your screed. And I also don’t really agree with you that this would solve these mass shootings. Would it lower day to day gun violence? Maybe. Do I think we should implement a lot of those? Yes. Either way these events don’t stop until you melt down every weapon in this country.

                    Mass shootings weren’t really a thing until about 30 years ago. Our society has had decades to break down and become what it is now. You will never get rid of all the weapons, and if you tried you would need to kill a lot of people.
