If the Kent State students had been armed in 1970, the Ohio National Guard would have killed them all.

They were protesting for peace; they didn't want to have to carry guns, kill people, or fear for their lives--and four of them were killed for it.

Peace is not derived from armament. Deterrents are an inherently short-sighted solution: they only pause an enemy who has already decided to attack you until they acquire equal or better weapons. Best case scenario, the peace of the gun lasts only as long as no one gets angry enough or crazy enough to risk mutual annihilation--someone like that will always be around.

Its a side effect of fervently supporting the 2nd amendment while also fervently supporting a president who thinks the constitution doesn't apply to him or his agents.

The hypocrisy shreds all common sense and reason, leaving only a quivering mass behind.

Trump's lawyer recently argued in court that Trump could walk into a 2A supporter's home, gather up all his guns, take them to a place and have them destroyed, and the home owner couldn't legally interfere with him in any way. And he wouldn't be able to get compensation either.

Because the president has absolute power to do anything at any time with no consequence.

There is a real simple solution to guns in America. Ban the sale of guns in America.

The existing guns that are used in crimes will be seized. A small stock of surplus guns will be bought up by criminals then used in crimes and those too will be seized. Then most criminals just won't have access to guns.

Eventually, maybe a generation later, your guns will be too valuable and bullets too expensive to be used for most crimes.

All the people who have guns and want to keep them can pass them down through their families.

It seems simple enough to me.

Except the guns weren't kept in their homes because the British would have confiscated them. After the WoI was won, they were all gathered up and kept in buildings called armories so they could be used by - get this - militia.

You're thinking of guns that were militia property, or government property. They didn't totally disarm the colonists (this is the NRA mythos that every major travesty in history was preceded with a mass disarmament).

People still had rifles for hunting and whatnot; pistols if they could afford them. The weapons in the armory were maintained for warfare and police actions--they didn't want them rusting in some poor colonist's hovel.

Nonetheless, the rusty hunting rifle in your average revolutionary's hovel proved effective enough against the redcoats.

This is what people who want guns for defense against government tyranny are holding on to: the myth that the average man with commercially available firepower could overpower an empire.

Unfortunately their mythos is the overriding principle that guides interpretation of the constitution: most people think this is the reason the founding fathers wanted civilians to be armed.

No one thinks about the dangers the early states faced from attempts by the British to undermine their sovereignty and retake them, disputes between the states themselves, to marauders and the vengeance of displaced natives. The point was to have ready a locally-organized armed force when needed at a fraction of the cost of a standing army, not to overthrow the government of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".

You do realize there is no militia, right?

FDR federalized all state militias and named them the "national guard" after New York's militia. They're paid and maintained by the US federal government with soldiers often from out of state.

There are still state militias. I don't know about every state, but a lot of states still have an organization, mostly populated by decrepit old veterans, retired police officers, and a handful of ultra-right-wing basket cases. These state militias need refurbishing, to be sure, and new leadership, but I think they could still provide something our armed services lack: community.

Gun owners need community. We have too many people buying guns and then falling off the radar. We don't have to invade their privacy or subject them to searches or seizures to establish their mental health and gun safety practices. Rather, we make militia membership mandatory--by state law in as many states as possible--for all registered gun owners. The militias could offer competency and safety training, as well as keeping an eye on the general well-being of its members. Give a minimum required attendance like one or two events per year, and require licensing to prove safety training. Give benefits to gun owners with extra licensing; reduced taxes or fines, insurance, etc.

Will that solve our black market gun problem? No.
Is that a valid counter-argument? No.

The real problem with the gun debate is that predominant faction of the pro-guns side that has no idea why it wants more guns in more hands and no concept of what having guns does to people. By binding gun ownership to a community that will encourage their safe use and knowledgeability, we could not only decrease shooting incidents but perhaps even change the course of these stupid debates.

Unlikely since one half of the debate isn't arguing in good faith, they're arguing to expand gun manufacturer profits and providing false narratives to distract from their actual motive

If Ohio had a state militia, the federal government wouldn't have been able to compel it's troops to murder it's students over a war the federal government wanted.

Yet, all you faggots just want more federal government. The government can't win the drug war, but hey, let's have them get into another war over guns. I swear, you idiots are retarded.

It had one then and it has one now. Many states still have a militia in one form or another. They are generally underfunded, lacking in manpower, and populated with craggy war vets and retired cops, but they still exist.

The Ohio National Guard was deployed by state authority, at the request of municipal authority. The federal government had nothing to do with it (other than the rumored of CIA provocateurs among the protestors).

Yes, everything you believe was just ripped to shreds by three seconds of googling. No, don't try to pick up the pieces--it's gone. Move along now.

There was a guy in my hometown who had one of those, and a six-foot high chain-link fence around his whole yard with an additional privacy fence behind it around his back yard.

He threw a rock at a friend and I once just for sitting on the curb across the street from his place; he threw it from his back yard--over the privacy fence, and would have nailed my friend in the face if we didn't see it coming. No warning; just noticed what looked like a rock flying at us all of the sudden.

Everyone thought he was a lunatic, but no one knew who he actually was because he was never seen leaving the place. Like not even to buy groceries. Total mystery how he even lived.
