I hate that pro gun propaganda is seeping in to our country and gun access is getting more relaxed allowing psychos to get armed. I want my right not to get shot to be intact. The police isn't also assuming you are armed during routine stops so they aren't so trigger happy.

What "pro gun propaganda" is this exactly? Gun access is not getting more relaxed - talk about propaganda. The Federal form you are required to fill out at any gun shop in the country asks you to declare whether you have ever been adjudicated as mentally defective or have ever been confined in a mental institution. Answering Yes will result in your firearm purchase being denied.

We can't know ahead of time that someone is going to go off the deep end and go on a shooting spree. You can't legislate this risk away short of banning guns completely and confiscating all of them, which is unrealistic/impossible. Let's ban alcohol as well because it kills twice as many people as guns do (half of which are suicides) annually.

I'm an independent that shares plenty of the Democrat party's positions, but gun control isn't one of them. Guns are tools than can be used and misused like any other tool.


I hate how pro abortion is seeping in to our country and psychos being able to abort babies. So what can I do. You win some and then you lose some.
