Nobody is taking guns away here in America. Just let the idiot gun grabbers talk their nonsense. Pay no attention to them.
Then you should follow your own words, and stop freaking out about it. Judging from some of your own post, you would think otherwise. I agree, no one is taking your guns away, but that seems to be a popular right wing talking point, to get folks all worked up.
Why? Do you feel mass shootings against the people will skyrocket to a highly frightening extent, due to only mass shooters being able to get guns?
No I feel history has shown what happens to an unarmed society governed by corrupt leaders. Our rights will dissolve, our taxes will skyrocket and our standard of living will plunge. Gun control is people control, and the government wants that control.
Banning sale of assault weapons has nothing to do with protection, you don't need an AR-15 for home protection.
Fortunately my needs are for me to decide. No one needs a Corvette, swimming pool or private plane. But in America you can attain wants, not just needs.

That's it in a nutshell. The left/leftists aren't intelligent enough to know that though.
Maybe they can make it illegal like selling/buying drugs on the streets. You get caught, you go to jail. I mean, it obviously works as NOBODY buys drugs or sells drugs illegally nor do we have anyone in jail for doing such a things. Laws work. LOL
Let's do away all laws since some ppl break them. Makes sense.

Newsflash for the naive: When someone intends to commit a crime with a gun, he'll get the gun illegally, too.
*sigh*
Newsflash: It's easy for criminals to get guns because it's so easy for the average person to get one in the first place. Eventually legal guns become illegal guns on the secondary or black markets to ppl who shouldn't have them.
You seem to be intent on taking the focus off of TX. The suburbs of Chicago aren't Chicago and don't have that crime, no matter how close we are.

HOBART, Ind. -- An off-duty East Chicago police officer is being praised for making an arrest after a person was shot in a Walmart Sunday in northwest Indiana.
The officer was shopping at the store in Hobart with his wife and kids when shots were fired, East Chicago police said.
"Thanks to his quick thinking and heroic actions the suspect involved in this senseless shooting was taken into custody without further incident," East Chicago police said in a statement.
Laws are meant to punish anti-social behavior that either harms another person or will most likely lead to the harm of another person.

The United States has the largest prison population in the world, and the highest per-capita incarceration rate.[3][4][5] In 2016 in the US, there were 655 people incarcerated per 100,000 population. This is the US incarceration rate for adults or people tried as adults.[6][3] In 2016, 2.2 million Americans have been incarcerated, which means for every 100,000 there are 655 that are currently inmates. Prison, parole, and probation operations generate an $81 billion annual cost to U.S. taxpayers, while police and court costs, bail bond fees, and prison phone fees generate another $100 billion in costs that are paid by individuals.[7]
"Private prisons are controversial. The main arguments for private prisons are that it can save money, that contracts can attach profit motives to reducing recidivism/better conditions, and that it can allow for a poorly performing operator to be removed and replaced. The main arguments against contracting prisons is that the rights of inmates can be compromised, and that it can attach a profit motive to increasing incarceration. It is also argued that private management of prisons is unethical, even if conditions are no worse or better than in the public sector, because punishment belongs to the State alone. ..."
