    If we can't come together and agree that there is no legitimate reason for citizens to have unrestricted access to weapons that fire hundreds of rounds per minute, we have no hope of solving any firearm related problems.
    If Sandy Hook couldn't serve as the catalyst... nothing can. 

    A truly shocking mentality from the outside looking in. 
    And what is Sandy Hook supposed to do?

    If you don't understand what that means, no amount of explaining will help.

    Remind us that the whole sale slaughter of innocent school children is but a small price to pay for you to have your shiny boom boom toys.

    So what action should have been taken?

    Realistic gun laws. Specifically confiscating all your guns to start.

    registration of every gun sold is a nice place to start. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I agree with that. Federally, and tracked at every changing of hands.

    Not sure if you meant this as a joke but this is the sort of mentality that gives common sense gun law advocates a bad name. As long as there's one or two outliers to point to and say "see they do want to take all of our guns!" then it's hard to make any significant progress.

    Well, at least people on this board can no longer say that nobody here has wanted that.

    The odd thing is people that want this are not really against guns.

    It was obviously a joke.

    Even if it wasn't, it isn't a more extreme position than yours.

    The founders didn't weigh in on firearm registration, you have to twist pretty far to imagine the 2nd amendment is definitive.

    Also, the founders were a bunch of rich white guys who owned a bunch of poor black people, so you will have to forgive me if I occasionally think that their ideas and convictions are outdated to the point of ridicule.

    Yes. When your country was founded 240 years ago the second amendment wasn't extreme. In 2017 your interpretation of it is extreme.

    Try to take people's guns and you'll find just how extreme it could be.
