They are a tool for killing and they are protected by our constitution. The threat of being killed stops bad actors (sometimes actually killing the bad actor), hunting is killing (so is eating meat, but that doesn't make it murder) and some day they may be needed to free us from oppression. They are not evil, but can be used in an evil way. Most of the time they are used in a responsible way.
I'd much rather kids keep considering them as tools to kill. That's the proper respect such a power deserves, and if that scares you too much then you shouldn't use one.
Treating them any lighter is how you misuse them and hurt people.
Hunting and Protection are both actions that involve killing, even if that killing is justified its still death. I got my first gun at like 8-9. It was handed to me as a device for removing pests and the weight of killing my first bird still hung over me for a long time.
The school shooting issue isn't about guns and it never has been, that's just the flavor. Columbine was meant to be a mass bombing that they just fucked up the making of, so they went with the backup. If we removed the guns we might remove the death toll, simply by removing the ease with which it can happen, but the underlying issues will remain.
Good, now do literally every gun law.
"Shall not be infringed." It's fairly simple.
There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to own a 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 gun for concealed carry.
Correct.
Let me guess- people who were 18 when this lawsuit was launched are now 58?
The law is from the '60s, but the lawsuit started in 2021 (and thus every original appellant is over 21 already.)
Let me build fully automatic machine guns and rocket launchers now please.
You can do that anyway. Just don't tell anyone and don't try selling them
Fully automatic rocket launchers when?
In the year 40k or maybe a few thousand years before that. I'm not too much of a lore buff.
In theory you could do something like putting a rocket assisted 40mm grenade in a mk-19 automatic grenade launcher.
You would probably need to redesign it to shoot a longer round but I can’t think of why it wouldn’t be doable.
I suppose that would be closer to a full auto RPG at that point
Maybe one day, with enough purging of the establishment, kids can practice firearms to demystify them as 'evil tool designed to kill'.

I don't know as America USED to have gun clubs at school since guns were kept by students and they were seen as both hunting tools and protection.
We didn't have school shootings back then too.

Baffles me that so many people seem confused about the simple phrase "shall not be infringed".
It baffles me that people continue to apply the benefit of the doubt to people who want them killed.
They aren't confused, they are conniving.
Now do the NFA.
If you’re old enough to die in a war for Israel, you’re old enough to do anything else.
Yet.. you can pretty much self permanently sterilize yourself under the guise of trannyism at age 8...
Guns don't kill people, the government does.
