Morrissey said if new testing of the gun showed it was working, she would recharge Baldwin.

    Listen, I get it. I’m a multiple gun owner. I grew up with guns and have shot competitively. But make no mistake, as a country we have decided that the right to own a weapon designed to kill people is more important than the children that are killed every year by gun violence. Gun deaths are not a mental health problem, nor a magazine problem, nor a “scary looking rifle” problem. It’s a gun problem. I highly recommend Malcolm Gladwell’s recent 6 part podcast series on this topic. And for the record, while I am a gun owner, I would happily accept common sense gun regulations or even a ban if our country ever collectively decided that they give a shit about human lives and each other. Will it happen? No.

        Typical 2a er - too fucking lazy to lift a finger so just defaults to party line comments.

        Thanks for confirming for all of use that you believe your right to own a deadly weapon is more important than a few thousand children’s lives. POS.

            Let us all know with sauce why you think “Gladwell known to be a bit trash”?

            Would love some supported argument as opposed to opinionated trash.

          Ok, bud. Keep eating up what any pseudo-intellectual digests and throws up into your mouth like a good little birdie. It’s ok to tout the virtues of grifters when they agree with you.

            Uh huh. Whatever you say must be reasonable. You’re the guy that believes their right to own a deadly weapon is more important than the lives of thousands of children. Who can argue with that?

                You’re not even man enough to admit your tiny dick need for a killing weapon is more important than the lives of thousands of children. Coward.
