You have hit the nail on the heed.I can't understand intelligent men like trump make excuses for the right to bear arms.

It was more of threats from abroad. Like England and tea parties.The right to bear arms was logical when America was a new nation in a country where people lived on the frontier and there was no law and order and you had to protect your family and property.
The automatic assault rifle had not yet been invented and it would have been very difficult to carry out a mass shooting with just a single shot muzzle loader.
Times have moved on.

They should be controlled, yes. We control knives in the UK. Teens can't buy them. You can't carry them in public.Americas violent criminals would probably be like their UK comrades if they couldn't get a gun they would probably be armed with a knife. Should they be banned as well?
When the have looked at controls they appear to try and describe assault rifles. I've seen mention of having pistol grips also muzzle covers - the idea of those is to leave something cold to hold when the barrel gets hot. What they don't appear to do is just ban slr's. The pistols they sell use the same mechanism.
Looks like they are blaming the police who attended. Listening to the whole speech I'd be inclined to say hang on a minute. Anyway that is not an answer to the basic problem.
The demo at the NRA convention is huge.
I sincerely hope the UK never goes down the path of making gun ownership more accessible to the masses. No system of checks can ever be full-proof and just because someone ticks all the required boxes doesn't necessarily mean they are suited to gun ownership. Today's law abiding citizen could be tomorrow's unhinged citizen.The issue is the guns falling into the wrong hands fruit cakes and criminals
If only law abiding sensible people had guns than things could be different ????
Same as the Uk if we had gun owners ship
I reckon she's made herself even more of a target saying that.
A bit hard for the victims to forgive anyone seeing as they're dead
