(81,608 posts)How do so many gun-related murders and other crimes keep happening if we already have more than enough gun control laws?
How does America repeatedly lead the world in gun violence, year after year, if we already have too many gun control laws cramping the style of the all-you-want gun advocates?
How much needless bloodshed is okay for the sake of the freedom-freedom of gun enthusiasts?
Should we just leave it to those good ol thoughts n prayers to fix the problem?
Admittedly, Im biased. Biased in the extreme. I lost two friends to gun violence - a murder/suicide stemming directly from an argument between them that turned unnecessarily fatal simply because there was a nice little handy-dandy gun in the house.
If we abandon all those annoying gun controls, does that mean I can get my friends back then? And all those grieving mothers, year after year after year, who have to bury their babies thanks to reckless wanton gun violence - how bout them? Would that give them back their dead children? Answer me that. Get us back the precious loved ones who were so rudely, recklessly, and UNNECCESSARILY lost to gun violence and Ill be glad to listen, all day, to all the lofty freedom-freedom arguments about the importance of anybody having any free and unrestricted amounts of any damn guns they want. Deal?
Oh, sorry, thoughts n prayers...
Just asking.
If it were up to me, and it were possible (which, I freely concede, it isnt), Id settle this once and for all. Abolish the damned 2nd Amendment and make ALL the guns EVERYWHERE in the world - EVERY LAST MISERABLE DETESTABLE ONE OF THEM - disappear off the face of the earth.
They dont come any more anti-gun than me.
