All the Facts and Just the Facts
Gun control is the clear sign of a tyrannical government trying to seize full power. All mass shootings occur in "Gun-Free Zones."
Attempts to impose gun control will never cease as long as there are Leftists in the world who want an omnipotent tyrannical form of government. An armed citizenry is an impediment to any tyrannical government so disarm the citizenry will be the first order of business. The Founders of the United States knew this and created the 2nd Amendment to emphasize that the right to keep and bear arms was an inherent right that all people have because it is bestown by the Creator, that it precedes the Constitution, i.e. the Constitution cannot grant it because it is laready there and thus the 2nd Amendment affirms as much.
The Founders wanted the American people to be a free people, especially free of tyranny, and thus used the strongest language of the Constitution was used in the 2nd Amendment, i.e. "shall not be infringed."
The Founders packed the 1st Amendment with our most precious freedoms such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, etc. Six in all. But the Founders also knew that once a tyrannical government achieves power, all other rights and freedoms evaporate. They knew that the 2nd Amendment was required to ensure all of the others. As such, the Founders wanted to make it clear that the government could not disarm the citizenry or prevent them from drilling (training and preparing) in defense of those other freedoms, especially against a tyrannical government.
Democrats have been relentlessly assaulting the 2nd Amendment for decades and in rcent years have begun demonizing the NRA simply for defending the 2nd Amendment. Leftists literally blame shootings on the NRA.
Gun ownership is a right. The Democrat Party has been taken over by socialists and want nothing more than to disarm the American citizenry. They have even argued that the Constitutional right of We the People to keep and bear arms can, in fact, be infringed in DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA et al. v. HELLER in which the Supreme Court ruled that, yes, We the People have the right to own guns.
Availability of guns is not the reason for mass shootings. Guns were always easily available back in the 1950s when there was only one mass shooting in the entire decade. Something ese is driving mass shootings.
Massive Availability of guns renders most gun control attempts nothing more than dangerous half-measures. The US is estimated to have roughly 390 million personally owned firearms, i.e. substantially more than the number of Americans. There is insufficient support for banning/confiscating firearms; all such efforts fail ... but are favorite emotional speech topics for Leftist politicians.
We can look at Chicago to learn that Democrat/Leftist policies create the conditions that bring about massive violence. Democrats have had full rein over Chicago for almost nine decades and Chicago is arguably the most violent, most dangerous city in the United States. We can examine Chicago more closely as a case study in what causes such massive violence on such a broad scale. New York and Los Angeles are the country's largest cities ... but Chicago had more murders than the two of them combined. If you want to solve Chicago's crime problem the only answer is to undo all the Democrat policies. This will work everywhere. Focusing on guns is the wrong answer. Eliminating the Democrat policies that create the violence is the correct answer.
