Why is it that I should be maltreated by my .gov because some other guy is a dick?
Why should innocent children die just so you can buy a weapon to compensate for your small dick?
Ahhhh....here we go with the "...but the children..." argument. With the typical 'making up for masculine deficiency' insult thrown in for good measure. If the shoe fits... I mean you guys with your "home defense" guacamola are comprehensively full of shit. We don't see you extolling the virtues of locks, alarm systems or security doors or posing with those fucking things. Of course not. All you do is pose with a gun because you've gotten this insane idea that possessing a firearm turns you into man - instead of a pussy who's afraid of getting his hands dirty.
There's a deep psychological need inside of chronic gun owners that causes them to equate gun removal with castration - because you've built your sense of identity and personal power around possession of a gun. I mean, it's obvious as fuck and yet you don't realise how fucking weak it makes you look.

What's next? The "even if it saves only one life, isn't shredding the Bill of Rights worth it" argument? Five bucks says you can't quote any amendments in the Bill of Rights besides the first and second without looking it up. And if modifying an amendment is equivalent to "shredding the Bill of Rights", then I presume you feel the country went to the dogs when the 13th amendment "shredded the Constitution" by outlawing.. oh.. what was that thing again..... oh yeah... SLAVERY.

Tell me, Awareness...how many children were IN Pulse? No idea. How many were in Sandy Hook, you witless cretin? In fact, here's an idea, how many children have died so you can posture with a weapon and pretend you're a man? Let's check how many school shootings the USA has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States
My my, there do seem to be a lot of them. One would almost think there's a connection between availability of guns and deaths due to firearms.

Meanwhile, in the real world...and keep in mind that 46 states have banned texting while driving, as have D. C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. ( see http://www.ncsl.org/research/transportation/cellular-phone-use-and-texting-while-driving-laws.aspx I see, so you have no problem with banning the use of certain functions on cellphones but banning high-powered weapons whose only purpose is to allow you to murder people is an infringement upon your most basic and important rights.
Are you high?
No, I'm not high. I'm at work, providing health care to people. You however...given your emotional, sneering, personal attacks...I would suspect of being do. But once again, your assumptions are showing:
I have two locks on my front door and two on my back door. I have motion sensor lights that come on whenever someone gets close enough to set them off. I also have a .38 on my nightstand in case those locks are not deterrent enough. I also like to go to the gun range once in awhile. It's the only gun I own. No AK-47, No AR -15, No 30-06. But, just because I choose to own a revolver instead of a rifle doesn't mean I get to choose for the next man or woman what weapon they can have to defend their home or go to the gun range or hunt with, as long as its legal.
So...I don't own a AR-15, I do have locks and a security system in place and I own a gun...for defense of myself and others in my home.
Even though it's only a handgun, does that still make me equate it's removal with psychological castration because I find my manhood in it? I don't suppose I might find my manhood in remaining close to my daughters even through a divorce and rebellion, in taking care of patients for 33 years, of serving with the 82ND in the 70's, in paying my bills, in enjoying our shared hot rod hobby with my nephews, fixing up my house. Nope...according to you, it is the gun alone.
The Bill of Rights. Tell me, Awareness...how would I prove that to you? How would you know, other than your presumption, that I could not? How would you prove your knowledge of them to me? Two computers lie between us so...other than your presumption...your bet is based on nothing. Certainly not on what I know.
I have no problem with Amendments being added when the basis for the Amendment has been proven right and necessary...such as the 13th Amendment... or repealed when proven wrong...such as the 18th being repealed by the 21St Amendment. But the Bill of Rights, while part of the Constitution, are something more.
Witless cretin? Because I disagree with what you and other gun-grabbers are saying...that somehow the gun is at fault or the ease of obtaining one rather than the true fault? The true fault is the man who, whether motivated by religion or by a deep-seated denial of himself, CHOSE to murder people. He made that choice. As did the other shooters. The fact that you want to brush him and his motivations aside and focus solely on the gun makes you appear to be the one operating on emotion, not wit. Well...that and the fact that you don't know that there were no children inside the club.
Finally...you're right. I do not have a problem with banning certain functions on cell phones WHILE DRIVING. Indeed, I have no problem with banning weapons whose SOLE purpose is murder. A grenade launcher? A flame-thrower? A fully automatic rifle? Nope, no one needs those. But...this weapon is not those.
Awareness' argument, as so many of his arguments are not really well thought out. Driving in this country is a privilege that may be taken away from a citizen by the state. The 2nd amendment is not a priveledge. Equating the two is sloppy thinking.
