Yeah, let's see you in real life. Oh wait, I already know your type, the type who pulls a fire alarm on a college campus to run out a speaker with a "problematic" opinion because actually debating them would give them a platform. We can't go around giving people guilty of wrongthink a platform now...

I know alot of pussy ass dudes in RL who hate the sight /sound of weapons . I live in TN where our guns are more important than most objects in life.. I know a few guys who drive 25 year old vehicle that barely run but has $20,000 in weaponry and ammo. I'm not a " gun extremist " but I love my weapons.. I haven't gone " overboard " but I have 5 pistols , 3 shot guns , 2 ar 15s 1 ak 47 and 1 sks , about 10,000 rounds between all weapons. I carry my glock 22 and 1 if my ar's in my truck everywhere , my wife carries her 380 in her car and has a judge in her purse. I'm not paranoid at all. instead of asking me why do I have so much and carry that with me.... ask yourself why not?.. I'm protected, my wife is protected , most importantly. .. my kids are protected..

The thing with your comparison's orrur is they are putting gang related shootings, maphia shootings drug related, CRIME (which yes IS down) and compairing them to school shootings or public shootings where normal kids or beta cuck freaks are taking thier parents and thier own legally bought guns and shooting up the place. THAT type of shooting is on the rise and thats what im talking about.

Except that if you actually read my sources, they explicitly do NOT include gang and other crime-related shootings. From the first link:

Duwe defines a mass public shooting as an incident in which four or more victims are killed publicly with guns within 24 hours — in the workplace, schools, restaurants and other public places — excluding shootings in connection with crimes such as robbery, drugs or gangs.

Hell, you didn't even need to click on a link for the second or third graph, since it states clearly in the title or subnotes of the graph:

the murders are not attributable to any other underlying criminal activity or commonplace circumstance

non-gang.

You continue to completely ignore any evidence that runs contrary to your preexisting opinion, and then you wonder why people just resort to calling you a fucking idiot instead of actually engaging. Fucking idiot. You're wrong about mass shootings at schools being at an all time high and there no way anyone can take you seriously until you admit that reality runs contrary to what you believe.

The fact that mass murders are declining isn't all that important.

It's not? If mass murders are being pushed as the reason for the need for new gun regulations, wouldn't it follow that empirical data about mass murders would be important? And when someone comes here and claims to base their opinion on the supposed fact that mass murders are at a ridiculous all time high, perhaps it's important to point out that the data actually contradicts that viewpoint. Of course, that doesn't really apply in this case, since we all know iruinedyourday just bases his opinion on whatever stupid thought floats through his head and makes him feel like a good person. It's that kind of anti-scientific thinking that all people of reason should be fighting against.

That's not to say I wouldn't be in favor of requiring a robust licensing process and registration associated with firearm ownership, especially when it's something outrageous like a .50 cal sniper rifle or heavy machine gun.

Fully automatic machine guns are not legal to buy in the USA unless they are collectors items, and then you have to file a hellish amount of paper work in order to purchase the collector item.

Regarding the purchase of the .50 caliber "sniper rifle." The Feds require a background check (NICS) for the purchase of long guns, shotguns, handguns and including the .50 caliber (form 4473). Some states have additional checks (like Maryland). Private sales are exempt from the back ground check in most states, but rest assured that the liberals are fighting hard, state to state, to ensure that private gun owners will be required to do a gun check before they can sell their firearm.

There is also a movement, notably in California, to have firearms dealers and retail stores perform a background check for ammunition purchases.

Any way... any law abiding citizen is going through a shit load of paperwork to buy a weapon now days. The people you should be concerned about are the law breakers who give a damn. In which case there is no amount of gun legislation that will stop them. They are going to kill you with something no matter what, and they will get a gun if they really want one. You can't stop them.
