"We stop being something to be proud of when we love our guns more than we love our children"

53. No

I accept the risks inherent with life. I believe our rights are there for a reason, and I would gladly die defending them before rolling over to tyranny. Take away the guns, I don't even get the choice, rolling over BECOMES the right.

You demonize me because you are afraid, I choose to accept the risks that come with just living. ANYTHING on ANY given day can take that future away from my children. I refuse to give up our rights over fear. You believe that somehow these two measures are going to magically take the risks away, well I hate to break this to you, it does not, cannot, and never will.

I refer you back to columbine, which happened the last time we did meaningless things like banning weapons for the way they are shaped or how many bullets they hold.

Thanks for demeaning and demonizing me for my beliefs though, that definitely validates your arguments. All I have done is express my beliefs and my own acceptance of the risks, which are my rights to do. Your rights support your ability to mock me for those beliefs, and i respect that, but it has the exact same affect on the argument that the NRA's ludicrous statements about guns NOT being a problem. So please, take that into consideration next time.

I did post my idea of a solution below, please read that and take it into consideration before you accuse me of not caring if my children die again.
