'Gun advocates are concerned about losing their rights and freedoms. Those deceased from gunfire have lost all theirs.'
There has been another mass shooting in our country. Six were killed in a Nashville school. There will be thoughts and prayers, and new gun regulations considered a “slippery slope” to gun confiscation. It is not about taking away guns but reasonable considerations to reduce gun deaths.
People are also reading… Most gun owners will never resort to gun violence. Yet there are over 40,000 gun-related deaths per year, resulting from murders, suicide, and neglect. Most do not know the wording but use the Amendment as a reason to have guns. It essentially involves a well-regulated militia and gives the people the RIGHT to bear arms rather than no right. It does not allow for unlimited possession.
There may be too much dangerous weaponry available, with over 400 million guns in our country. Some claim that more guns make us safer. Assume there is a paranoid, angry person who accumulates various weapons, ready for revenge. Now consider 20 others like him, fully armed, in a theater or on a plane.
In 1996 in Port Arthur, Tasmania, a part of Australia, a man killed 35 people and wounded 23 in a tragic event. Australia decided to create strict firearm regulations. They bought back large numbers of assault-style weapons. Many others were returned voluntarily. In the following 20 years, zero mass shootings occurred, with only a handful since. Why? As in other places, there is a correlation between regulation and results.
