Yes, I'm in favor of gun restrictions. I live in a country with more guns than people, where gun violence claims lives every day and increasingly in mass numbers.

Bringing in more guns and loosening restrictions doesn't work.

We're now at a level of technology where guns can be fingerprint-locked and keep GPS records of when, where, and in what direction every shot was fired.

With this we could bring a great deal more personal responsibility to gun ownership and take away the firearms from people who act stupidly and dangerously with them. That alone would be a huge step in the right direction.

Keep in mind that the purpose of the right in america was supposedly to act as a bulwark against the encroachment of governmental tyranny. At this point I question the ability of the citizenry, even when armed with personal firearms, to mount any kind of serious armed resistance against the forces of the US military.

This! The firearms of US citizens can't do shit against the military so the whole argument is just preposterous imho.
