I know that people have already gotten into this discussion and have probably already typed themselves blue in the fingers on this but I wanted to take a stab. My question is specifically on the discussions that many members of the media are having about the issue of gun control. To be clear, this is not a post about whether or not we should have the right to bear arms but the issue of gun control.
So my question is this: With so many members of the media stating that "this is not the time to discuss the issue of gun control laws", when is the time? If ever?
I didn't want to have this part in the actual question because I genuinely want this to be an open discussion about the subject at hand but really media? banning costumes is the answer!?!?!?! Yeah, because we all know that every Princess Jasmine comes complete with an M1 Garand. Just 20 bucks more and you can upgrade to a carbine!

Say we no longer have the right to bare arms. The government is doing a sweep collecting all registered firearms. Would you allow your right to go down the river or would you stand up to the regime and refuse? Either way give me some opinions please be honest.
