Dark Knight Rises killings in Aurora

[Kriven]

On the gun laws topic:

We would not be conquered by banning civilian weaponry. That's... pretty ridiculous actually. Civilians do not enter into combat against enemy soldiers, none of which would ever be able to even get onto US soil (are we at war with Canada now?)

If any nation in the world ever even thought of pointing a nuke at us, they'd be annihilated within the hour. We simply have too much fire power in that department for anyone to dream of fucking with us.

Stricter gun laws are going to be necessary to progress as a free nation. The world isn't free when anyone and their mother could snuff you out at any time. If the backlash against a zero tolerance ban is that strong, then we don't do zero tolerance. But I don't see why anyone needs more than two licensed fire arms in their possession, and why they would need anything even close to semi-automatic weaponry. Handguns for defense, and hunting rifles for... hunting. That's all any civilian needs.
