America has a gun problem whether you like it or not. There are negative rights and there are positive rights. While taking away muh gunz will infringe upon a negative right it is worth doing so for a civil society and it actually INCREASES your freedom in the end. You don't need a military-grade weapon to hunt and if you don't hunt chances are that you don't need a gun. Gun control works too. Fuck, I don't fucking need this right now, I get enough of this shit at the fucking thanksgiving table, just recommend me a fucking book like I asked.

op no need to read books. this are the arguments you'll use

Sociological:
A big chunk of americans have a mix of psychotic tendencies with paranoia and schizophrenia.
Of course this happens all over the world but in the us it is fueled by a lack of morality, transcendental consciousness, culture and a sense of community. All diseases caused by the dominance of the market-establishment.

Psychological:
The average American has a psyche immature in its nature. The pleasure for weapons does not come from feelings of power but from the memory you have as a child. The inner child springs from the lack of awareness of the human condition that leads to the decline of vital maturation. Also the lack of meaning supports the consumption of objects that give a zest to life.

Legal:
The argument that guns are necessary in the event of a tyrannical government is the greatest stupidity of the constitution. The only dictatorship in america is the one that reigns today and has done since the independence. The presidents are only puppets.

Economics:
Industries that form concentrated groups of power with easy access to manipulation of the market and political life.

While not really Anti-gun youll realize why gun control even exists as a massive reaction to automatic arms coming into existence.

For real. Banning guns at this point would quite literally ensure only criminals have access to it. Not to mention, assault rifles have been banned in America once already in 1994, something that never gets mentioned. It didn't work, everyone just claimed the guns they had fell into a river and it started a mini-black market like you mentioned. Gun control is only going to work on a country that started banning them in the early 20th century.
