I do not think Trump or his fans understand this... they also do not understand that majority of the mass death in US (barring 9/11) has been plotted inside US soil by American citizens and no amount of immigration ban will prevent those. One thing that can help is taking away people's access to mass murder weapon.

And private aircraft. And hardware store shopping for bomb ingredients. And motor vehicles. What else, Einstein?

With the exception of bomb ingredient, those things are regulated way more extensively than guns. Guns shouldn't be any different. Bombs that kill 49 people are hard to make.

+1 to all of this. There is a reason that guns are the mass murderers weapon-of-choice in this country. 9/11 took a lot of planning, which is part of why missing it was deemed such an intelligence failure. Very few people can make stable, transportable bombs capable of killing 49 people even in an enclosed area like a nightclub. Just about anyone, though, can buy a gun.

I don't understand why dual passports are allowed. My wife is an immigrant and now a legal US citizen. She holds two passports and my US born children now hold two passports (why not, since it's allowed). I think we need to get rid of allowing 2 passports. BTW, at my wife's swearing in ceremony, this exact question of dual citizenship was asked, and the answer was - if you are a US citizen, you are recognized only as a US citizen by our government, they are not concerned with other passports nor do they recognize dual citizenship even though they are clearly allowing it. There is no requirement to renounce your old citizenship or give up your passport. This is stupid, and makes immigrant citizens less invested in being full-fledged Americans.

Ehh, have to disagree. pipe bombs or even pressure cooker bombs are much easier and you also don't have the paper trail of a gun. The ingredients are easily obtainable and don't set off red flags. You can also place one and get away (like the Boston Bombers) if you don't have a death wish.

It most certainly is. The abortion bomber/Atlanta bomber got away for years as did the Unibomber. The Boston bombers were found but initially got away. Almost all mass shooters are caught immediately.

Also forgot to mention Tim McVeigh OK City and the World Trade Center Bombings. They both got away from the scene and took longer to catch than your average mass shooter.

What do the numbers look like in multiple casualty murders by bomb vs. by guns?

The fatalities from bombs pale in comparison to mass shooting deaths. OK City scale is super rare. True that it can take longer to catch perps but LESS people die. We need to regulate guns.

Guns are probably the most regulated "thing" that Americans actually have a Constitutional right to. I have asked, and have yet to see any answer, as to how any of the proposals being floated would make any significant dent in gun deaths. You cannot ban guns without amending the Constitution. Background checks, waiting periods and licensing have done little to solve the problem of illegal gun use. It's a very difficult problem with no easy solution.

We're regulating them, not banning them. It's a "well-regulated militia" in the Constitution. Elect Hillary. Fill Scalia's spot on the Supreme Court with a sane Democratic-appointee. The Court will uphold a reasonable regulation and interpret the Constitution in a non-stupid way.

For seemingly the tenth time, how would you regulate them and how would this regulation have prevented the last 20 mass shootings and the routine gun deaths in Chicago and Baltimore?

We didn't have to amend the Constitution for gay marriage and we don't have to to regulate guns. It's not that complicated people.

This has been addressed in tons of threads. Sick of repeating. In any event, you're wrong that we'd need to amend the Constitution. Can we at least try to fix the problem? You don't have a crystal ball. Thanks.

Marriage is not mentioned in the Constitution.
