TR> Now all the democrat hypocrites will run to the nearest open mic and
TR> denounce the Second Amendment rights.

And the better alternative would be?
You can say, that it's not the gun that kills, it's the people, but banning the
people is even harder.
And you have a real problem over there. In Switzerland, people have almost the
same amount of guns per capita as in the US, but 90% less kills with guns.
(based on a UNO report from 2010)
And your police in the US is more like a paramilitary force and they say they
needed their assault rifles because every criminal is also carrying one. Now
think about this:

A 2006 survey of 47,328 Police Federation members found 82% did not want
officers to be routinely armed on duty, despite almost half saying their lives
had been "in serious jeopardy" during the previous three years.

It's the first time someone has been killed by armed police in Iceland since it
became an independent republic in 1944. Police don't even carry weapons,
usually. Violent crime in Iceland is almost non-existent. As of July 8, 2016,
the 2013 incident remains the only time Icelandic police have shot and killed
anyone.
[...]
In fact, Iceland isn't anti-gun. In terms of per-capita gun ownership, Iceland
ranks 15th in the world.
