So what's wrong with home security systems?

144. The fear is very irrational

I understand how guns can be 'scary' to those who know nothing about them. And I respect that those people want nothing to do with guns. But what I don't understand or respect is all of this attempted dehumanizing of ALL gun owners in order to calm unfounded paranoia based on that fear, instead of the facts.
Getting strict legislation to try and prevent something that might happen in the future, is hard. Basing that legislation on the false premise that all gun owners are guilty until proven innocent, makes it harder. Justifying that legislation on something that statistically rarely happens, makes it even harder. Infringing on an individual right, whether you agree it's a right or not, makes it confrontational.

There are thousands of gun control laws already on the books and they have not prevented mass shootings. Adding thousands more will do nothing to prevent them, which is why there is only one solution that the anti 2nd Amendment people have left: amending or repealing the 2nd Amendment with the required 2/3 majority.
Doing this guarantees the support of the people and nullifies the Constitutional right argument.
