A better example, which would be more fitting, is that because Trump isn't releasing his tax returns then everybody in the US needs to make their tax returns public.

Yes I see that angle. Ya you have a point. AR15s are fun as fuck. Its a shame if we can't keep playing with them but this stuff is never surgically precise and all good people lose rights whenever any law is created. I have friends who can consume lots if drugs and be totally positive members of society. Some people can't so we legislate

Consuming drugs isn't a constitutional right though, so the analogy doesn't apply.

Either is unlimited firearms. This has already been established and the constitution permits vigorous regulation of weapons

Who is talking about unlimited firearms? I'll probably never own more than 4. Pistol, shotgun, AR, and a bolt action.

I have already put forward a gun regulation. The problem is that it wouldn't actually help what you want it to help. So when the next one happens you will want to go further, and when the next one happens after that you'll go even further. Until we are talking about banning guns all together.

That's what I think I said before. The mentality is fucked but impossible to legislate that so we have pass clumsy laws. Its an old story but its the only reason we have law in the first place.

Evidence suggest that isnt the case. The measurable effect of the assault weapons ban on mass shootings for one. Its much harder to mass shoot with a bolt action.

We could make it so white males aren't allowed to purchase or own firearms. We could also enact strict curfews, limit movement, and enact probation.
