Enhance Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I feel numb to the fact that plenty of reasonable solutions exist to prevent tragedies like this and the gun cult in our country simply won't let them happen. I was going to post my thoughts on what those should be... but I've had to do it so many times now (in response to horrific situations like this) that I barely have the interest anymore. These gun cultists and virtually uncompromising 2nd Amendment supporters have long proven through their actions that these types killings are agreeable enough consequences in exchange for their rights. 3 1 Link to comment

I think it's not even just the far right. Most conservatives have long been obstinate to serious legislative and cultural gun reform. 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Columbine was 25 years ago. Sandy Hook was ten years ago. Think about that next time you're in the voting booth. 1 Link to comment

I have a friend who has been in the loony bin twice...he still gets guns. Getting rid of guns is all that matters. Single shot musket type guns is all that should be sold, period. 2 Link to comment

I know more D's than I do R's that are into guns. So do you I imagine. In fact, most of my friends are R's and not one owns a gun or has ever shot one. The background check is not relevant. My idea, single shot musket type guns only, that works. 1 Link to comment

A badass civil war soldier could get off 3 shots in a 60 seconds. My thoughts...all guns should be at least 5 feet long and musket loading only. If you have another gun in your possession, you and your family go to prison, regardless of age, for X amount of years. 1 Link to comment

No offense, but none of this makes any sense. Background checks do matter, but they’re just a part of what needs to be done. There’s many other things that need to be done, but currently are not. I don’t know your friends, but R’s clearly outnumber D’s on gun control resistance and it’s not even close. Guns aren’t going away. It’s unfortunate, but just not realistic. Link to comment
