Somehow this makes me a fearful and paranoid nutter who wants to see the streets awash in the blood of children, lol.
You are. Again, if our current laws worked, and we both agree they are not, but if they did, we would not have the amount of gun violence we do, but we do.
The NRA got hijacked by nuts back in the 1970s and ever since they have done nothing but protect profits and expanded our flooded market, and on top of that hamstrung any and all attempts to fix anything. It is the the same theistic logic tactic of creating a needless problem, then blaming everyone else for the problem you(meaning the NRA) caused in the first place.
YOU personally as an individual are NOT my problem. Your right to own a firearm also is not my problem. THE NRA is my problem, the gun factories lack of concern as to how many they make and where they end up are my problem. NOT YOU PERSONALLY.
You are afraid of change, otherwise you wouldn't be arguing the same arguments that have been falsely used for decades. It is really no different the reaction the Church had when Galileo told the truth about the sun/earth relationship.
We do have a flooded market, guns are way too easy to obtain and we do have a gun violence problem. Now you think your position is not the problem, sorry I do think it is exactly the problem. And for the same reason I said and keep saying. If it worked the way you claimed we would not see the reality we do see. Just like if prayer worked, nobody would need doctors and there would be no death or pain in the world.
You are simply arguing "just do more of what I want". Nope, we have been, and I only fault my side for caving in for so long.
