We should cut the gun supply off at its roots: the gun manufacturers. They have mass produced weapons of war and marketed them to a civilian consumer. We must stop the manufacture, sale, distribution, importation of weapons designed for a 'well regulated militia'. Long barrel guns with semi-automatic firing systems are the most popular weapons used in mass shootings. Handguns fitted with large capacity magazines and semi-automatic firing systems are the weapon of choice on urban streets.How many more times are we going to accept mass shootings?
We can honestly look at the carnage wrought by mass shootings and say 'people with guns did this' and then some Conservative will inevitably say 'therefore we need more people with guns!'. Are we just supposed to accept this ham handed logic without question?
Pf course the corollary to this twisted logic is: more guns makes us safer.
If this were true, given the fact that we have a population of 350,000,000 in this nation and there are 300,000,000 guns in the hands of civilians, by their logic, shouldn't we be the safest nation on earth?
How many more times are we expected to go along with arguments that have proven disastrously false?
How many more times are we expected to go along with arguments that have proven disastrously false?
The real arguments that are patently false..and you can tell by the dead bodies...
--That gun control laws actually target criminals and mass shooters, and not normal gun owners.
--That gun control laws will keep criminals and mass shooters from getting guns (For reference see France..Paris, a few weeks ago)
--That gun free zones keep people safer.
Before the advent of these weapons in civilian hands, we had a very small rate of mass shootings. The technology and callousness with which it has been sold has brought us to this tragic point.
Gun owners are all too willing to become the gunslinger hero because they see it happen in the cinema. Their underdeveloped sense of marksmanship and capabilities means more bullets will be flying around in a panicked and confused situation. We cannot be anchored to testosterone fueled vigilantes anymore than we can afford to have weapons of war on our streets.
Then work to repeal the 2nd amendment. Until then piss off.
Seeing as how gun nuts are a minority, what you propose in jest is possible.
And IF it were to happen, the fault would be that of the NRA an the self professed gun nuts.
Cause you all wont do jack shit to stop the carnage. Matter of fact, you all just write if off as inevitable.
Guns kill people. With lots of guns, lots of people will get killed.
Simple math. Not everyone thinks all that killing to entertain your fantasies is a good idea.
