The amount of guns US citizens own in relation to the rest of the world is insane

[Shogon]

lmao @ any politician that claims they can solve this "problem." This country was literally born from a "grab a gun, **** the government" mentality. Haha.

There are somewhere between 300,000,000 to 400,000,000 firearms in the possession of US citizens.

To put that into perspective, there are roughly 700,000 law enforcement officers in the United States. Even if you gave them 10 guns each(lol), that's still only 7,000,000 guns owned by law enforcement.

There are roughly 800,000 United States military service members in varying branches. If you gave all of them 10 guns each(lol), that's still only 8,000,000 guns owned by the military.

There are probably roughly 800,000,000 to 900,000,000 in all of existence across the entire world.

Basically what I'm saying is that it could easily be argued that the United States citizenry is the most dangerous force on the entire planet, from a ground combat perspective.

The vast majority of those guns are untraceable. There is no "solving" it, its empty rhetoric.

Only a few states require registration. The vast majority of guns in circulation never were. Its been that way for decades.

the average american is fat and slow this is common knowledge. you'll have a bunch of undisciplined unorganized fatties running around who are armed to the teeth but their lack of cardio will betray them.

us military would destroy any force made of citizens in a ground skirmish even if they're outnumbered 10:1.

Start with an assault rifle ban like in 90s

[SomeBlackDude]

this.

and/or a nationwide gun buyback program. take all those useless military grade killing machines out of civilians' hands, melt them down and use the metal for infrastructure fixes. and people will get compensated, they could use that $ to buy something actually useful or meth, whichever they prefer.

what's more useful to society- an ar-15 in the hands of some suburban soccer mom or new bridges and railroad tracks?

true.

and there's always the threat of the king of england tryna annex his old colony dominion too. straight set trippin.

gotta have that well-regulated militia.

can't do that without ar-15s.

just like the founding fathers intended.

Out of shape soccer mom in her 40s with an AR15 without body armor or training of any kind taking on the US army armed with M4s and air support/tanks/jeeps in street combat. Good luck.

Too many guns getting in the hands of the wrong people. Bad people. Criminals.

How about I ask you what’s more important? Taking AR-15’s from soccer moms or building new bridges and railroad tracks? Everyday when you sit in traffic on some antiquated dilapidated freeway are you actually giving a shit about whether some harmless soccer mom has an AR-15?

Putting gun control before an infrastructure program is a total loser position. Bottom line.

How many times we gotta say that the US is not gonna bring out tanks into or bomb suberbia. It's ridiculous that anyone imagines that would happen. That would signal the collapse of our democracy.

Which would be a huge w for the militia even if they got rofl stomped.

I agree with this. There has to be some incentive. Americans don't trust the government so it needs to be monetary. But it has to be a decent amount of money. The government is cheap as ****. But if they gave everyone say....10K, that would do it. The government can afford it. If they come talking 1K, its not gonna happen.

yea, a task force could def happen. Not to seem like a dick, but whenever people act like the US military is gonna go full syria on us, it makes me sigh. And basically as you said they wouldn't need to.

It's mainly just balance. That's why NK doesn't wanna give up their nukes. Not cuz they could do that much with them, but the destruction/hassle it would cause would deter a lot of low level stuff.

The problem w/ something like a gun buyback, to me, is if you put the price right people could probably sell their guns and get new ones illegally. Like dude said, there are so many guns, but most are probably in cases and will never be used 'seriously.'

Guns are a necessary evil for democracy, imo, but we do need people to stop shooting up places. Some day, guns might be the last power we have. Tangible things are more important than something fake like money. Tools are good, and guns are really powerful tools, albeit mostly for destructive purposes. As long as we have guns, people will always have to take us seriously (for better or worse.) We don't want to take power away from the people. Or I don't, even tho I don't want a gun. When shit goes down I'll borrow someone else's haha.
