We are all happy you learned to love guns. We do need some meaningful gun regulation or something. This shooting in Florida is a tragedy. Like most others, nothing will be done because the NRA owns these politicians.
You obviously didn't read that article. If you did, you would not have wrote the first sentence because, here's part of what he said:
Quote:
I do not think I will be purchasing a gun anytime soon. I have no interest in hunting or shooting for sport, and I do not feel the need to have a gun in order to protect myself. I also do not feel that I have any right to judge those who choose to have guns.
I can't see why you would have written the last sentence after what he said either:
Quote:
Regardless of where you stand on gun policy, it is important to know that the power of the gun lobby is not in some dark, faceless organization that buys political influence, but rather in the millions of Americans who support its cause. They are not all the same, and they certainly are not all deserving of scorn. For me, guns may forever be inextricably linked to their worst use, but it would be foolish to think that there is not more to the story.
Your post is much like what he's saying he has found is really not true, after thinking it was up until now

We have tons of gun laws & regulations, which criminals ignore & Big Gov't won't enforce--since it wants us scared & willing to give them even more power & money. If the NRA didn't exist, nothing would change.
Do we really want to push criminals & terrorists toward poisons, explosives, germ warfare, and/or sabotaging food & water supplies? Those would all produce MUCH higher casualties, since a gun shooter must target victims one at a time, and actually hit them with a bullet, in a quickly lethal part of the body.
BTY, if you're at a mass shooting, either hide in a bullet-proof spot or run away in an erratic, zig-zag pattern.

As has been asked over and over, what meaningful gun regulation do you propose? Nothing can keep a person with the motivation and money from acquiring anything!

Alaska has 2 senators...so does SD, ND, ID, MT, WY, UT......etc. etc. etc.
Add up those states and then tell me how you're going to get gun stuff through the senate.
