I just realized... Fluppa, you're a German, right?
.-. I can causally laugh when a Brit is promoting Gun Control for the Americans, because half the reason gun ownership is so entrenched into the American Culture was the "independence" factor. Coming from a German I just have to point out that Gun Control worked Great in your country. The citizenry had almost no ability to fight back when your own government turned against a large portion of your populous, and helped drive the whole of Europe into war. Thanks for your tips, I'll be sure to consider them.
The second amendment is not for hunting, or for self defense. It's there to insure that the population can rebel against tyrants. Something your country has never done within it's history, and as an Authoritarian Wonderland, surely never will. I won't pretend to know more about your countries history than you, but I will ask that you stop trying to speak on what's best for mine. "Oh no, 50 people died in 1 mass shooting from a military grade weapon that's already illegal!" "Oh no, 50 people in Chicago die from gun related incidences everyday, using illegal weaponry that average citizens can't have" "We should make it harder for law abiding citizens to own weapons that ARE legal."
If the United States falls, it will not be do to some crazed loners shooting away at a population of 323.1 Million 50 at a time. It'll be from some foreign army (which will most likely not happen seeing as my country has the most heavily armed populous, as you said yourself), or internal strife in relations to identity politics / civil war. Empires don't fall from the criminals within them. They fall from outside forces, the law abiding populous rebelling, or the population being so ideologically split they go to war. (In rare cases they die a slow death, like Greece)
