Guns are ultimately impossible to ban within the United States. Completely taking away the second amendment (I can promise you this will never happen) will lead to a civil war. There are too many guns in circulation and die-hard gun owners that will fight for their right to bear arms down to their very last breath.
I do believe, to a certain extent, in the "good guys with guns" argument. IIRC, the elementary school did not even have a resource officer on the campus at the time of the shooting. Had there been an officer, the events may have unfolded differently. Another factor to look at is the response time the police had (which is currently being heavily scrutinized by everyone). They took around 45 minutes before getting inside the building and killing the active shooter. Again, had they acted sooner, the events may have unfolded differently.
It is really hard to say what solutions there are to this problem we are having in the United States, but I do not think banning guns is a viable option. There needs to be a focus on mental health and gun safety. Also, there should be some sort of red flag in some sort of system when a person legally purchases a ton of guns, ammunition, and body armor. Restricting the type of guns that can be purchased by U.S. citizens (i.e. banning AR-15s but allowing handguns and shotguns) is tricky and could lead down a similar path as banning guns altogether because doing so would require people to surrender (some of) their guns.
OFT: Admins, of all people, should not be immature and shitposting on this thread, especially in response to Lyicx's moderation post. You are an admin and should be setting a good example.
