That really would be Pandora’s box wouldn’t it.
If they can do it in nyc a rather liberal state then no where is off limits.
This is the NRA utopia.
Will this antiquated American madness ever end??

The second amendment was put in place (supposedly) to protect the American people from any rogue government, giving the people the right to defend themselves from any such governing body. Sounds good in theory but i guess they never thought about the consequences of loonies getting their hands on high powered weaponry

The Second Amendment - Definition, Text & Rights
The Second Amendment, ratified in 1791, is one of 10 amendments that form the Bill of Rights. It establishes the right to bear arms and figures prominently in the long-running debate over gun control.

It was just a general question -
I have friends and a relative who have lived there for many years, they have several. Most are used for hunting but they have small guns they carry when going out. They tell me its so widespread, and many people don't admit they have them. Driven mainly by fear i think. Not so sure what I would do. probably I wouldn't chose to live there.

Depending on how they're classified (deaths vs injuries (and yes this is a serious argument between factions)) there have already been 17 mass shootings since Uvalde (with this Tulsa hospital counting amongst that number).Until the next one, coming soon........
The bit I don't understand is the gun-nuts telling everyone how important their "Constitutional Rights" are when the gun law is an Amendment. The Constitution was changed to allow it. The Constitution can be amended again without any rights being infringed.
The same forces pushing this are at work over here - count your blessings we have sensible gun laws.

What will they do if a teacher or school nurse goes rogue? Arm the children is the only logical solution.
