Absolutely. Fix our broken medical system and get mentally disturbed people some goddamn help.

Maybe instead of seeing Americans as dumb animals that need to be herded around and kept busy with distractions, the elite could spread their knowledge of the human condition around and promote an environment of learning and self-fulfillment.

Maybe the news could actually share valid information instead of just stirring everyone into one blind panic after another so they can be more easily profited from.

The bottom line is AMERICAN CULTURE is broken and needs to be fixed.... but that is hard to do and there's no money in it.

Instead they'll do the quick and dirty "solution" which is to demonize inanimate objects, terrify and convince Americans that Satan himself crapped out each and every last semi-auto rifle to destroy us and then "save" us by taking away the right to own one.

The scared sheep then breath a sigh of relief that the fences around their pasture are a little bit higher and go back to grazing... and the elites go back to shearing them (until it happens again, anyway).

I think its a better idea than outlawing weapons.

Its much harder to smuggle bullets then drugs. They can't be reshaped like drugs, they are heavy and metallic. Also gunpowder has a very strong odor that dogs can easily sniff out. Much more so then a compound like cocaine or heroin. Begs the question why risk smuggling bullets when you can smuggle drugs which are easier to bring in and much more lucrative.

You said seatbelts and traffic laws.

Traffic laws help organize and regulate the flow of of traffic.

Seat belt laws do not.

The #1 reason for smuggling is to move profitable goods to a market that is otherwise blocked to them... and they ALWAYS find a way.

Most of the police said they would not go door to door to confiscate as it would be way to dangerous and not worth their lives. They would quit before doing that.
It wasn't just the cops and FFs

Every gun forum was lit up after that. You couldn't buy a 50% + 30% er anywhere for about a year.

Hmmm not a white guy

Not an AR-15

Banning the 15 will do what again?

Did you all forget?

Gun-grabbers don't care about that. When (not IF) one ban doesn't work, they'll simply go down the firearm line.

The agenda is banning private ownership of ALL guns.
