When will it be the time?

After the recent shooting in Boulder the pro-gun groups have said now is not the time to talk about reforms, so as an outsider looking in Americans when will be the time and why?

The culture around guns in America fascinates me I am curious to where you stand and why I know this is a polarising subject so please try and be respectful to others views.

I used to be very anti gun until I started talking to responsible gun owners with my family, friends, and peers at work.

All of them, every single one, is a responsible citizen who registers their guns as required by law, secures their guns and ammo, and trains their family how to safely be around and use guns.

While I am amenable to a compromise on this situation, the fact of the matter is, we just don't do that in American politics anymore.

I am quite confident this goes nowhere, but the Democrats and their confederates in the media will use such things to promote their agenda, raise money, and kick the can down the road, yet again.

@SumKindaMunster Same here; though guns are illegal in my country/continent I’ve noticed all well connected and rich people have them; which means it’s only a “danger” if the average taxpayer owns it, Americans need to stand up for themselves

@SW-User Correct. And the reason why the rich and connected don't care is because they can afford to hire a private security service to protect them, they don't need direct access to firearms.

@SumKindaMunster I think we just need to accept that nothing can be done and this is just a part of life here.

@LeopoldBloom 🙄 Ok sarcasmo, anything else?

Sarcasmo?! 😂 Sounds like an incompetent super villain wanna be who’s quips always fall as flat as his hair brained schemes. @SumKindaMunster

@SumKindaMunster I’m not being sarcastic, I’m being realistic. There are too many guns in circulation for any restrictions to have an effect, unless your willing to declare martial law and authorize the military to enter people’s homes and confiscate them.

Good luck with that. You’ll have a full scale civil war. @LeopoldBloom

@stratosranger It's logistically impossible. But anything less than that is just window dressing. Let's say Congress manages to outlaw AR-15s. People will just switch to AK-47s or hunting rifles or handguns.
