    we have over 75 million Americans that take medication for mental illness
    are we seriously talking about taking rights away from 75 million Americans and put them on some government crazy person list?

    30% of Americans own guns so of those 75 million about 20 million very possibly own a gun
    are you going to confiscate guns from 20 million Americans?

    liberal say we couldn't deport the 11 million illegal aliens but we will confiscate guns from 20 million American citizens

    Our society, in America. without 10% of the population insisting on killing each other with guns, there would be no discussion about widespread gun violence in the US. end the war on drugs and poverty and that problem goes away. then, you could post 2 law enforcement officers at each school and still save money.

    So every homicide committed with a gun is done by 10% of the population. Wow. Do you have anything to back that assertion up.

    The local burglary ring in question had set a pattern and worked in a neighborhood. Some people had reported particular suspicious cars. The police staged a house, announced a funeral for a fictitious person who "lived at the address", and waited.

    But, but, but those clump of cells have a magical "soul" (because the Bible says humans have "souls"), so those clump of cells are equal to you and I - in fact, better than we are, because they will potentially live a longer life than you and I, because they are the youngest "souls" on the planet, obviously.
    Unless the Bible is wrong about magical "souls" existing, that is.

    The freedom to practice religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are also different constitutional rights from the right to bear arms, but you wanted me to engage in the analogy. No analogy is perfect.

    And my theory is not very much of a pipe dream given that the law I propose is the law of the land in about 12 states or so.

    I didnt ask you for an analogy I asked what other constitutional rights you would also be fine with citizens needing to get a "license" for. Your examples didnt fit.. how about this.. we have freedom of religion but because most terrorist attacks are caused by Muslims should Muslims apply for a "License" and go through a full psychological evaluation before getting a licence to practice the Muslim faith? You cool with that?
    How about the freedom of the press? maybe a licence for that? and if there is a licence involved you could always take it away.. so when Dems are in office no one in Fox news would have one.. and when Repubs are in then cnn, msnbc, etc all would have there licence pulled.. cool?

    The press is licensed by the FCC and churches get a business license

    for individual constitutional rights.. do you even have the licence to post here? did you pass your psychological test to get your freedom of speech licence yet?

    They'd be asked "would an all-knowing god pick a child-rapist* and warlord to be the final and best role model for all time?"
    And Muslims would answer "Sure, you bet!!"

    Serious question. If the founders could look 250 years into the future and see the advancements of firearms and the killing power of some of these military type weapons that are being made available to the public, do you think they would have wrote the 2nd amendment in the same way?

    Why would you want poorly trained shooters in a school?

    We should just hire returning veterans, at least they can hit what they aim at and they don’t attempt to escalate situations like LEO’s.

    Absolutely, they would look at it as a better defense against a tyrannical government, or an invading foreign entity.

    The Kentucky long rifle was way ahead of its time for warfare. It was essentially the first sniper rifle, they didn’t ban it even though you could pick and choose targets (great for assasinations) instead of firing in volleys, did they ban it? No.

    Did they ban the Puckle Gun? No. (One of the first automatic weapons)

    Did they ban cannons? No.

    See?
