    Yea as a gun owner lol what bullshit are you shoveling?

    And that shit doesn’t happen, stop making up bullshit scenarios…not even going to speak on the fact that none of what you said or propose will stop someone from obtaining a firearm. It’s not illegal to sell privately and as you probably know prohibition didn’t work.

      Every other country has a FRACTION OF A FRACTION of the amount of shootings that we do, and you have the gall to sit there and go “none of what you said or propose will stop someone”, when politicians and gun control groups have literally proposed NUMEROUS extremely common sense fixes to help curb the violence. It’s fucking loons like you that rally against it ad nauseum because “DeMs CuMmInG fEr MuH gUnS!1!”. You’re nothing but a gun lobbyists mouthpiece who would rather let kids get killed so you can keep an overpowered AR than try LITERALLY anything to help alleviate the situation.

      No one is coming for my shotgun, or my handgun, or my hunting rifle. Literally no one will ever pass a law that will ban those. Red flag laws WORK. Mandatory withholding periods WORK. Banning AR weapons and bump stocks would be a step in the right direction. Pushing these laws on a federal level would help. Would it stop everything? No, but it would provide a LOT more opportunities to catch someone before it happens.

      Fuck, do something to help our kids, don’t be the barrier that makes it more difficult.

        Or sold with a licensed dealer present and require that it gets properly registered.

        Actually with the new proposals to remove firearms from anyone with any kind of criminal background or mental health disorder, and the law being amended to allow this, there are ways to effectively stop people from having firearms. It’s simple humanitarian guidelines that need to be enacted. Only a churlish dolt would refuse to see the common sense of keeping guns out of the hands of men and boys.

      So what do you think is going to decrease school shootings? What are you proposing or support that will improve the situation?
