In an ideal world, yes. All guns should be taken away. Things that can cause mass harm in the blink of an eye should absolutely not be in the hands of someone that isn’t highly educated, not only about guns but educated period.
We do not live in an ideal world. For me, in the United States, we live in a world where people think that minorities are ruining their lives and everything would be better if they were killed. These people, these genuinely deplorable individuals, already have a shitload of guns. Far more than any state that restricts gun rights.
Thinking that these people will simply give up their guns without a fight would be like thinking that the Confederacy would simply sit back and let their slaves be taken away. The only difference is that the average person in Texas can have a fully automatic, 100 round mag bearing, fully kitted machine gun.
Simply saying “take away their guns” would absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, trigger the next Civil War here and it would be exponentially more bloody.
We need gun rights. Not for the sake of guns themselves, but because of the people who worship them.
I’ve also seen the mosque shooting in full.

Honestly can’t disagree with any of that. America is too far gone and your take on education and responsibility is spot on.
Switzerland is an odd example. Literally assualt rifles in nearly every home. But a completely different civil mindset.
