Isn't it time for a rational discussion on gun control?
After watching/listening to the NRA's response to Sandy Hook even many gun enthusiasts were appalled and embarrassed by LaPierre's 'news' conference.
Rational people know that no effort to "take away our guns" is in the offing nor is such a plan viable. Rational people also know that some form of gun control is necessary and the debate should be framed by what would be sufficient.
Every rational person wants an end to gun violence, but too much time is wasted defending the Second Amendment which is NOT under general assault.
It's time, too many innocent men, women and children have died, a death directly related to the trauma of a gun shot; if you're not part of the solution, you are a large part of the problem.
Those "RATIONAL" people you seem to place on a pedestal are the same people who got us all those school gun shootings by creating all those gun free zones.
Thank you for as rational a response as one might expect from a parrot.
"So, we need to a accept that guns and mass murder are part of our culture and Sandy Hook is simply one price we pay for freedom. The Congress and the NRA and you have known and accepted this for years. So, lets all step over the bodiles and quit crying as if death is something special; it is a normal and expected occurrence - like earthquakes and hurricanes, tornadoes and floods - and we do nothing to protect us from these events - don't we?"
Above also posted by Wry on the thread: "other than?"
Clinton's assault weapons ban has proven that assault weapons ban do not work.
Gun control does not work Sandy Hook and many other places like it have prove that
Gun free zones do not work Auroa has proven that
So let's keep doing what we have been doing and think things will be different this time.
