A few things mentioned here that are counter-productive in the argument of maintaining the 2A, and such views prevent a productive conversation. The "other side" is also guilty of uneducated views, but arguably with a bit more common sense.
In any case, I want to touch on this point which is an example of the above:
"Look, I am ALL FOR gun owners having safety training and technological improvements that would be helpful for those looking for it, HOWEVER, since when can the government restrict a God given right?"
Man.. you sounded so intelligent for a second until the end. sigh
Since when is bearing arms a God given right? Did you come out the womb holding a rifle? The first firearm came about when? 1300s? Where was God before this? Do you feel the same way about an American hating Muslim that wants to unleash violence in the name of God? Is he/she given the right from God to bear arms in your town? Respectfully, who the f are you to strip that right from him/her?
Since when can the government restrict the God given right to drive a car? to drive after downing a 12 pack? and to do so at any speed past a school at 3pm? to fly drones over an airstrip? Do I sound stupid yet? I can keep going..
It would be great if I saw more conversations on here on how to actually improve the vetting around firearm purchases and usage. But no, just a lot of whining with selfish/one-sided views. So when the other side barks, we just bark back.
Woof.
