Based on what? Nuclear Unicorn May 2015 #88

based on history being cyclical Cassidy1 May 2015 #104

Then the presence or absence of gun control laws are not a determining factor. Nuclear Unicorn May 2015 #112

Maybe so about human nature Cassidy1 May 2015 #126

Could it be because in the US, we have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms? GGJohn Jun 2015 #177

I misspoke. Cassidy1 Jun 2015 #182

Or maybe most Americans agree that the 2A confers an individual right to keep and bear arms. GGJohn Jun 2015 #183
