The more I read about it - the more I know I'm Lucky who live in a country - who you do not have any 2 amendment - and where common sense are prevailing when it come to gun ownership... A country who also have a strict weapons law - who could possible be more strict as time goes - and where not everyone have the right to have any form of gun ownership - you have to be in a shooting club for at least 6 monts to even be considered allowed to own a fire arm - and then you have to go true a background check - to see if you have anything on your record, who could possible stop you for owning a weapon at all.. Or if you have a mental disorder who in itself would be enough to ban you for having a weapon at all....
It is not perfect - but far better than the 2 amendment it looks like....
And even then - ten of thousands of civilians have, and use weapons regularly - doing hunting for elk and its like - but outside of the hunting season you would seldom se any weapon out there at all... Coming from rural areas I know that pretty well - that outside of the times when it was hunting season - weapons was for the most part banned anywhere...
This is not about "the right to bear arms" it is all about treathing others - and to show off who brave they are, bearing weapons inside a departments store - I doubt this would have been posible just 30 year ago - even in US to let pepole going around bearing semi-automatic weapons in stores - becouse they mean they have "the right to bear arms" - I would not be suprised if sometime down the road - it would end up in a horrible massacre where totaly innocent pepole would be murdered by this persons - becouse they are feeling treathen by them - but I doubt it wil be enough - as not even killing sprees on childrens school is enough to make the law stricter - and to safeguard anyone else, who might not have any interest in having armed hooligans roaming around where they want to buy their food
