Can someone explain in a compact form why so many people will not let go of the right to bear arms... or at least have it tighter regulated?
It's insane... I just do not get it.
I know the right argues its liberals taking away freedom etc... but its gotta be deeper than that.
What a strange nation that cares more about the right to carry a gun than having free healthcare for anyone who needs it.
I am not stirring up anything here - just interested why a nation, after so many gun based tragedies refuses to accept it has a massive problem that no other country with tight gun laws suffers from.

- constitutional right... I hear this a lot. so you believe your government has no right to change laws that clearly are not working for the good of all? Bizarre.fadein11
- No, the government works for the people, in of itself it cannot change anything. And there aren't enough people who feel the way you so to make any differencegilgamush
- Gilga. Are you for more stric gun law or does that violates your constitutional right?pango
- Strict gun laws won't solve anything in the US. It's different over here. That approach doesn't work, we have tried that and it failedgilgamush
- That logic is more than a little fuzzy. The argument conveniently changes when you bring up the details..."it won't matter", "cars kill people", etc.formed

- C'mon gilga you know there has never been a truly restricting national gun laws that have been attempted. If so, we would have heard about them being lifted.monospaced
