Exactly. Over the years I have had the privilege of having great discussions with gun owners who have tkane the time to explain why a gun control measure may not produce the desired result.

So we know a background check wouldn't have stopped this guy and maybe not the guy in Atlanta right/

So what do we do.......I don't have an answer.........I wish I had one.....

The USA is better than this.

Can the OP even tell us what an actual "assault" weapon is? Not the governmental definition....but the actual definition?

Not holding my breath on my question.

Are you worried about mass shootings or are you worried about daily shootings?

Because Biden works for the elite and their number one goal right now is to destroy the USA, so when they get their communism washing all over the world, there won't be a free superpower to stop them. That has always been their agenda since 1968 when they bought into congress and began making legislation that started to chip away the rights of American citizens while also making her go broke by getting rid of the gold backing of the currency standard.

To add insult to injury, it's the same group who wants to ban abortion and weed, as if people aren't just going to go around the law to get it. But with guns, somehow we can't do anything because "criminals will just go around the law and get them anyway."

What daily mass shootings?

Personally or generally?

So I am able to choose to live in a community that daily shootings isn't a day to day issue.
These mass shootings don't seem to hit 'crime' ridden communities so that makes me think a little.

None of us imagine being in a movie theater, grocery store, school and being shot at.

I live in a community where the police departments have taken to frequent reminders to take the gun out of your car and to lock your car. That makes me so angry.

We always so criminals don't buy their guns -- nope -- many of them get them from glove compartments...ugh.

Selfishly -- daily killings not an issue
On a bigger issue -- gun violence in general in this country is out of control.

Agree, types like Biden and his paymasters want to run the US like the CCP runs China, gun control, speech and thought control etc.

Universal background checks are part of every purchase and any application for LTC, what are you talking about?
