I'm not trying to paint all gun owners in a bad light, Gideon, I'm simply trying to say there need to be stricter laws as to who can own a gun these days. I'm not certain on the laws at the moment, but I have my own ideas for them, none of which I'll be saying here, because that's a whole other debate.

Mikey, many people make the claim you stated, and don't get me wrong, it's completely true. However, guns can also function to make people feel empowered, and like nothing can stop them. That's why most of the shooters in massacres wind-up killing themselves, in my opinion; once they start what they're doing, they find out that what they had thought was wrong (Uncertain once again, but I think that James Holmes is the only shooter who didn't wind-up taking his own life after they did the deed).

Gideon, MrE, and MrD make a very good point which is pretty much impossible to argue; I just hope someday we find a way to stop even criminals from getting guns illegally.

Also, MrD, I called the constitution stupid; I'd like to amend that statement, some parts of the constitution are stupid. It just irks me how some people find it to be the most ideal document to base our country off of (as, looking at more comments, Trey has said already). I have very strong beliefs in what is right/wrong, as people probably already know. Maybe I'd be able to oppose stricter gun laws if I actually thought hunting was worth anything (I'm not talking about those who hunt to provide foot, I'm talking about those who make it a sport; that's just sick in my opinion). And talking about over-population harming the environment? Humans are over-populated, and look at what's happened to the environment in the past couple decades.
