Either will do just fine to prove that hand-guns have been much more efficient than '2 rounds a minute' for centuries.I believe you mean Samuel Colt.

America is down bad, y'all. Down 3-0 in the series on the road.
Can we bounce back? idk.
Sure.Can someone explain this to me?
Well Browning certainly wouldn't since he wasn't even born 200 years ago. which would have to be the case "for centuries".Either will do just fine to prove that hand-guns have been much more efficient than '2 rounds a minute' for centuries.
If it was something like video games, media coverage, or medication. Then it would be likely that the entire planet was more violent than ever, but that is far from the case since this is close to the least violent time in the history of the planet.Maybe it's time to go back and look at all the things we said weren't a problem. Video games, medication, isolation, media coverage, all of it.
There's a problem here and tge gun control issue is keeping it from being found. These people aren't well adjusted. If they didn't go on these rampages, what other destruction would they do? We need to find the root cause.

Less guns in circulation = less guns in the hands of those that are not emotionally equipped to have them, at the expense of less guns in the hands of those that are.I assume you’re really angry but this comes off as callous and unserious. It’s like using the definition of homeostasis to justify or demonize abortion. I know nobody here would do that.
I had to pull my car over I was crying so hard over Sandy Hook. I’ve never owned a gun, but I’m generally pro 2A. I’ve lived around insanely high “guns per capita” areas my whole life, all with considerably low violent crime rates. And yet, if children in an elementary school still cannot be protected from this horror ten years later, we do not live in a civilized world. We live at a buffet for murderous cosplayers.
There must be a way to seriously decrease these attacks. If there isn’t, probably for the first time in my life, Id be in favor of increasing gun restrictions in a way that would deter or eliminate these slaughters. (Or in public torturing of the predator to dispel the power fantasy these monsters are enacting.)
I know the issues with increasing “gun control” measures right out of the gate. Law breakers break laws, and areas with tighter restrictions do not necessarily have less gun violence. But what we are in the midst of, with mentally and spiritually destitute young men carrying out acts of war on helpless people, cannot be acceptable in modern civilization. There most be a way to decrease or eliminate these attacks, and I’m not smart enough to know what they are (aside from the torture).
I do not know what the solution is. I do not want gun rights to go away. I cannot say “look, society is broken so this stuff is going to happen” any longer. There has to be a smarter, more effective way to handle this. I know hundreds of gun owners and the only one whose ever committed an act of violence with his weapon did so in self defense.
I have multiple children in elementary school and my heart is shattered for these kids, these parents, the community. The classmates and best buddies that are gone forever, the parents who feel they have lost the very reason they exist, all while they were away. Harming the helpless is the most devious thing mankind can do. Helping them is among the most noble. There has to be a way to balance the scales.
The original colt repeaters are much closer to 2 centuries old than 1. But ignoring your insignificant gotchas we know that '2 shots a minute' hasn't been the norm for a long, long time; much longer than 'mass-shootings' have been a media-circus item. Which is the point. Semi-auto handguns and rifles are much, much older than the era of mass-shootings.Well Browning certainly wouldn't since he wasn't even born 200 years ago. which would have to be the case "for centuries".
I also never said centuries. I said the majority of the time we were in existence. We were colonized in 1565. Revolvers werent mass produced until 1835. The majority of the time 2 rounds a minute was about what we are looking at. When talking about your average person who would be doing school shootings in the those days. Not James Robinson.
The majority of the time we had guns you could get off 2 rounds a minute if you were lucky. This is a ridiculous response. LMFAO at 80% of the country having PTSD as well.
Very true. But how many of those countries have constitutionally guaranteed gun-rights? How many of those countries have a melting-pot of cultures systemically pitted against each other?There are plenty of countries without this problem being as extensive as it is here that are as advanced as we are, educated as we are, wealthy as we are. We are unwilling to touch guns, and we are unwilling to give up our money, so good luck.

We literally have a process to amend the CONUS and BoR if deemed necessary. Maybe we should push for a constitutional convention...
Not immediately but it could potentially be done over time. Another challenge if guns were to be outlawed outright would be to prevent illegal importing of guns and 3D printing of weapons domestically,Confiscation would be virtually impossible.
My memory is probably fading... but the NFA act in the 30's made full-auto weapons require a tax-stamp. Under Reagan - FOPA was unscrupulously passed and banned the import/sale of new automatic rifles to law-abiding Americans. To that point automatic rifle deaths in the US were absolutely negligible... mob/mafia/gangster violence if any.thank you for the response, it offered zero zilch nothing to none of us. I'm sure we had psycho's back then that thought "well **** it only shoots 2 bullets a minute, guess I better use a hack saw..."
you live in a bubble wrap if i've ever seen one
Yes you should listen to me, since I am speaking facts.listen to this guy..
Oh I found it and you were definitely the only one that thought it was dumb. That speaks to you being a racist for sure
“The white conservatives aren't friends of the ***** either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the ***** always aware of where he stands with them.” — Malcom X.
I mostly agree with both quotes. I much prefer a racist to just say they are racist instead of pretending they want to argue “facts”.
I live in bubble wrap? You are the one that complains about getting tired after eating lunch, while driving a golf cart around all day. You are as big a snowflake as I have ever seen. You also just proved every ones point. They weren't doing mass shootings because they were incapable of it.thank you for the response, it offered zero zilch nothing to none of us.
