I'm so sick of this debate. It's not even a "debate" really, it's more of a liberal echo chamber on the subject......
I think you've already made your mind up within the first two sentences, and are calling the people who diasgree with you 'liberals in an echo chamber" so you're not really here to discuss it are you??
I do agree with the member that said "Guns kill people like forks make you fat." though.
In my opinion Americans are stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to gun ownership.
You have it ingrained into that it's your 'God given right' to own a firearm with no one allowed to tell you anything different, so stomp and moan at any mention of being forced to be educatated on proper ownership, care and storage by your government or have it regulated by your government or state. A 'standard' if you will for gun ownership, which should be part of any decent militia.
I've personally seen this played out by an 'idiot' who's given my brother (We're British) all the 'mightier than thou' talks and the 'it's my right' bull. They're friends and have visted each other over the years. My brother and I are both martial artists with a few years under our belts using Katana amongst other things and understand the dangers of leaving around 'cutting' swords (theft, injury).
A few years back by brothers friend blew his knee out whilst cleaning his firearm, and lost his house, with his family moving to seperate family accomadations because of the costs. Understanding the ownership of a deadly weapon should be on par or above the belief in the 2nd Amendment, and not below it or even forgot about.
