there would be no limits on guns at all or defense spending.

Dont know where I saw that. We are an entirely broken society because of the rightwingers and there is no real way of fixing it in the short term.

The gun humpers aren't going to go quietly into the night. They want to go down fighting using their precious killing machines against all who would dare take them. It would be a bloodbath to end all bloodbaths. And that's exactly what they want.

Learn to live with it and accept that it's NEVER going to change.

Either that, or move to a country that place a value on human life. America sure as fuck ain't one.

10. "It's never going to change" is not true. If certain events happen, it will change.

I am not sure you understand what those events are, but I do..(and I will not name them).......

I am sure that you do not have a clue...........but those of us that have been around a long time, know what those
events are. No one wants them to happen, but if they do, change will come almost immediately. Very quickly

Very sad. Says a lot about the political system and how the gun lobby controls Congress

VERY SAD ...INDEED......
