Why is Sup Forums so adamantly against gun control? Seriously, not bait, I want to have an intelligent conversation about it. Here are some common arguments I hear from conservatives, stop me if I'm misrepresenting or oversimplifying or something
>There's no evidence that proves gun control would work
Well that's because you've literally blocked any potential research into the subject. The Dickey Amendment literally prohibits research into gun control. You guys have actually obstructed any ways for us to support our argument or prove you wrong.
>Assault weapons are already banned
Well that is obviously not enough now is it?
>Shall not be infringed, retard
We've made many amendments to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, there is literally no reason that we can't do it again.
>Criminals aren't just gonna hand in their weapons, and they'll get them illegally.
That's not what gun control is. It stops the flow from legal to illegal. Gun/gun parts need to be bough legally at one point before they go to the illegal market. The idea is that tighter restrictions can stop the flow from legal to illegal. Maybe we could try something like follow up appointments to ensure that the firearm is still in the original buyer's hands?
>Gun control has already failed in places like Chicago or even Cali
Well when you can buy guns in the neighboring city/state and bring them back it doesn't really prove anything.
>We don't ban cars
A car's main function lies in transportation, not killing
>Does a gun death make you more dead?
No, but it is certainly more preventable
