Nuclear weapons are well guarded by governments. Weapons are not, and cannot be.
Why not?

The funny thing is, 2nd amendment rights have steadily been whittled down from any state of the art weapon of war to small-calibre semi-automatic firearms.

The fact that you're bitching about not being able to buy 14rnd magazines for a popgun and haven't noticed that you can't buy field artillery or Gatling guns is amusing.

There are millions of firearms and only a few thousand nukes. The firearms are all over the place and can be easily concealed. Nukes are a lot bigger and they're already under control. Drugs are illegal too but you don't see those being hard to obtain. They kill people as well directly and indirectly.

So round up all the firearms, close down the factories - govt owns all the guns just like they own all the nukes.

How do you suggest we round up all the firearms? How will the people protect themselves?

A better question would be how could we round up all the firearms without civil war. This is still 'murica we're talking about.

I have a simple question. Why do we need gun laws, and if we do, would criminals obey them?
we don't 'need' gun laws any more than we 'need' guns, a designer purse, and ipod, etc.  Guns can be a cool hobby like dirtbiking, they can provide a sense of security like a door lock, they can make people compensate for a small penis like a big truck, and they can be a tool used to kill people like a knife.

Why do we have murder laws if people will still commit murder?  Why do we have life sentences if people still commit murder?  It's a stupid argument you're putting forth.  There is an unhealthy fascination with guns in the US.  People argue "but but second amendment, we need to protect ourselves from the government".  Ok, the second amendment was written during a time when warfare was largely face to face and weapons were cumbersome tools and single load muskets.  A national armed forces wasn't close to what we have now.  Today our government has tanks and bombs.  100 million ATGs armed with the best high power assault rifles with 100K armor-piercing rounds isn't going to stop the government from rolling a tank over them, dropping a bomb to crush them, etc.  The other articles of confederation will do more to protect us against a tyranny than any amount of guns - it's an outdated law that people now think is a human right, which is a bit absurd in my humble opinion.  The fact of the matter is ~30 people a day die from guns - and someone is more likely to kill themself with a gun than kill someone else.  That's tragic.

Seriously though, I can understand the potential need to have a handgun, and if you're a hunter of course a rifle is necessary. It's been over 6 hours and a few pages and no one has actually said why they need an automatic weapon.

And before anyone says self defence, if you actually need that kind of stopping power to defend yourself I daresay you're fucked from the outset and brought it upon yourself.

Uhh gee I don't know, maybe people using other types of weapons to hurt or steal from others. You think 126lb shifty is going to be ok when 180-200lb bad guy comes knocking? Oh wait I'll just call the cops and ask the guy to wait.

How is that going to help me feel badass as I walk around in public giving people the stone-cold stare knowing I have a CWP for a bomb-belt?

Please tell me how giving AR-15s fixed magazines and not allowing me to put a pistol grip and retractable stock on my mini 14 makes me more responsible. I can't own a pistol yet but anybody over 21 here can buy a 7 round 1911. They can't get a double-stacked 14 round magazine though because obviously only criminals use those.
It's not to make you more responsible - its to slow down a potential murderer.  Using your same retarded logic, please tell me why you need a magazine, pistol grip and retractable stock?  So you can live out your rambo fantasy?

That's not the point, he won't feel paranoid if he has an AR-15 and that's far more important than anything else.

Every time the government talks about bans and more regulations, public interest in firearms explodes and even more of them enter circulation. We need to come up with whatever regulation we want and never address it again unless the need is dire.

100 million ATGs armed with the best high power assault rifles with 100K armor-piercing rounds isn't going to stop the government from rolling a tank over them
Perhaps not, but if recent conflicts have taught us anything, they can buy, build or steal weapons that could handle them. Or get their buddies with the tanks and attack helicopters to turn traitor (or the other way around, depending on your viewpoint). Apart from that, if a lone wolf with a hunting rifle could simply start taking out officials. What then could 100 million ATG's do, aside from writing angry posts about it?

why do you need your iphone?  Automatic weapons are fun to shoot.  If I really like shooting a weapon, why shouldn't I be able to go out and buy one and accessorize?  However, with great (fire)power comes great responsibility.

The question is, how do you filter irresponsible people out?

Then go to a shooting range and have fun there.

My iPhone won't kill dozens of kids in a school. And I don't trust half the people on the road in their cars, let alone the same people with a firearm.

The question is, how do you filter irresponsible people out?
You can't. So instead you restrict access and make it tougher to obtain in the first place with much harsher penalties if the weapon is misused. I personally believe if you own an automatic weapon and it is used by another in a murder you should be imprisoned too.

Like you said, it comes with great responsibility - which implies great consequences for not being greatly responsible.

Also, the intended purpose my iPhone was created for is communication. The intended purpose of an automatic weapon is to kill multiple people.
