As soon as government decides it's enough for people to play with their toys the shootings will start.

I can see no reason for weapons to be openly sold to public but money.
All the BS about self defense is just a distraction.
Firearms cause more harm then help.


To use a firearm one should have a strong motivation and be psychologically prepared to kill, otherwise things will go pretty random. And the fewer we have motivated killers with firearms in the society the better.

and there were some others

Imo military service (especially participation in hostilities) is the best injection against stupid desire to have a firearm. But of course lest we all have that kind of vaccination
