And yet it is teenagers getting pregnant.
Why must there be a quid pro quo? Too many American families have lost loved ones to gun violence while the gun lobby and their minions either ignore th problem or exacerbate it. No movement on a real assault weapons ban, no action on universal background checks and cuts to mental health programs. And now they think they can bargain?
Even when President Obama took action to reduce the chances of the mentally incompetent to access guns, Trump revoked it. Then he, weeping crocodile tears, says mental health is the real problem. As if Americans are crazier than the rest of the planet. What makes the mass shooting epidemic in America so unique? Why, we're uniquely awash with guns!
Because the gun lobby does not believe that guns are the problem, they are merely a tool used by a deranged HUMAN BEING.
So let me ask you this, why should the punishment for the masses be only for the sins of a few?
Let's say you legally own a Corvette and someone on the other side of the nation uses a Corvette illegally to haul drugs. The gov't rules Corvettes illegal and bans them because people are using them for illegal purposes.
Would you gladly give up your Corvette because of the misbehavior of someone else who just so happens to own the same type of car you do?
Someone who legally purchased a gun spent their hard earned money on it, and AR-15s are not cheap guns. So to think that you would punish John Smith for the behavior of Joe Doe isn't real fair is it?
