Yes, that is why their should be stricter laws for hand guns in large cities

So? People hunt moose and bears you know.

Patchwork gun laws do not work. There needs to be one standard for the whole country.

I agree, the gun laws of Texas should be nation wide.

Gun ownership compulsory for citizenship? Sweet.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Fuck that. It's not the wild west anymore.
Edit: Hell, the wild west wasn't what people imagine it as.
NY State's gun laws prior to NYSAFE are a good standard.

When rights get a national standard it is the state the least infringes on those rights that becomes the standard.
I will enjoy NYS gun law being preempted. Finally get to take my gun on top of the Freedom tower.

Lower prices of gun club membership to owners of only small arms; for people who want to shoot AK-47s and M16s recreationally, they can always play Call Of Duty. Sure video games increase violence1, but no one has ever died from mass video gaming sessions at schools. 2

1- Not really, IMHO.
2- That I know of.

In effect it just makes it harder for normal people to defend themselves. Criminals won't stop buying guns just because writing on a sheet of paper told them to.

I mean, yeah, murderers won't stop murdering just because it's illegal to murder, either. I feel like this stupid analogy should be dead already, though. Can I kill it?

They don't hit anything, and the ammo is gone in two seconds. Either way, free people have the right to have arms. If anything, arms are the SIGN of freedom.

I also believe the police should be an only semi-government authority and should otherwise be responsible for the maintenance of citizen's militias with access to all military weaponry and equipment whose duty is the defense of the National Charter.

Ha, you believe guns will protect you against tyranny, that's cute.

The word "freedoms" is not going to have any weight or meaning anymore if you don't establish a clear, specific, and strict definition for it, and if you continue to use it as an emotional buzzword.

It's a force multiplier.

More people use it to defend themselves than others do to harm others.

Like how James Holmes defended himself against movie goers, or how Adam Lanza defended himself against elementary school students.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
