If I were King (I'm working on it, but the RED TAPE is HORRENDOUS), this whole gun debate would be going in a very different direction.
Certain forces are keeping the debate about guns on regulation and banning and even confiscation, forcing gun supporters on the defensive. These forces are ignoring - and, I think, purposely - the real problem here, which is a sick and decaying culture that is spitting out more damaged psychopaths by the day.
If I had my way, the gun supporters would bend and allow for some basic (and perfectly reasonable) regulations on the availability of guns to certain people. The Left says (and I agree) that there is room for increased regulation on the margins that won't cramp the lives of law-abiding gun owners.
Why are these forces purposely ignoring the bigger problem, the real problem, of our culture? Because, obviously, they are profiting from the movies and music and television shows and video games and societal divisions that are creating the decay. No wonder they want to avoid that discussion. Seems to me that if gun supporters were smart, they'd give an inch or two and then go after the real problem loud and clear.
Doesn't seem all that complicated. But the gun supporters refuse to give an inch, and they don't see they're being played. The longer this issue remains where it is, the worse off they are.
.
Those that want Guns removed from our society and want the repeal of the Second Amendment do not want a inch, so what is the point of giving them the inch when their goal is entire mile?
See the reality is Democrats had their chance from 2009 to 2011 to issue a ban on AR-15's and failed to do so and now their supporters demand the opposition party to do what their political party failed to do, and why?
Simple, wedge issue!
Also what is the inch you want to give?
Using the No-Fly list to ban someone from their Constitutional Right to Bear Arms when the list convict you because of your name?
Having a doctor evaluate you to see if you are sane enough?
Banning of certain firearms that will grow over the years because someone feels they need to feel safe from a threat that most likely will never happen?
A child has a better chance of being killed by a opioid overdose from Mexican Cartel drugs that were created by Chinese drugs that were supply by Russian money than some mass shooter in a school!
Now before anyone lecture me or taunts me let me be honest and admit I have no love for the NRA or AR-15's but when LEO fails to enforce laws they already have that could have prevented a mass shooting, well friend it is a no on that inch you request for because LEO need to do their job first before I grant them anymore laws that they will fail to enforce.
So as you ask for that inch please know that some of these shootings could have been prevented and maybe it is time to blame the LEO for failing to do their job and stop asking for another inch!
