“I don’t see how the ingredients in all of these devices can be effectively banned.”
They cant, but I assume you agree that bombs should not be readily available at bomb shows and certainly not without a background check and doubly certainly not to those on a terror watch list.
(BTW consider the 2nd amendment doesnt mention “guns” it refers to arms So im not sure why I dont have the same right to nuclear arms, and fighter jets as to guns)
Yes we cant stop EVERY shooting, much like we cant stop every bombing (though your statistics arent impressive while obviously a tragedy for those 699 people out of over 300,000,000 that is not a big number) but that is an absurd reason not to stop some. These mass shootings are not as common in other countries. We have to be allowed to at least research as to why that is. Beleive it or not since the Dickey amendment in 96′ the CDC is effectively banned from even researching gun violence out of concern of where it might lead (namely gun control). And then gun nuts say we cant be strict about gun control because no research shows it will help!
