Comparing America to other countries that had implemented gun bans is a fools game as all those countries did not have a constitutionally protected right to own firearms in the first place.



US is a constitutionally limited democratic republic. The rights of many are not taken away simply because the acts of a few. If it was true, we can start another whole long list of things to ban/rights to take away. Democracy is meant to serve the majority, so your last statement is about as backwards as it gets.


This is simply false. Americans since 9/11 have lost many rights because the actions of just a few people.
