It's good to see the people marching. After having solved the issues of women, racism, and science with very successful marches, we'll be able to cross guns off the list real soon.

     I hope your right, the gun issue needs to come to an end once and for all. I see five key issues at hand here. Getting rid of Trump, deflating the military budget, gun-control, getting out of the middle east and protecting the internet from censorship. If we can focus on these five issues and put a dent in them, it will be a good start.

I mean, that's kind of a meaningless distinction in terms of criminality, not to mention the fact that gang shootings are predominately white and Latino. I do concede that most mass shootings are perpetrated by white men, but there aren't literally no mass shootings by black men.

You leave my sex organs out of this.

When death-by-spoon becomes a big enough issue, then I'll advocate to have a ban placed on the evil utensils.

I was being accurate.

Bluff or not, I've always thought that 'cold, dead hands' thing very peculiar. The message is "I have a constitutional right to be a law-abiding, responsible gun owner; and to defend that right, I am prepared to break the law in the most irresponsible way possible".

It's a scary thing to think about. Gun nut is a phrase for a reason. I just find it odd when people who proclaim to care about mass shootings want to provoke the most well armed part of our society. It sort of shows that they don't really care about the victims at all.

Then you guys don't care about mass shootings or the victims, cause that would cause an insane amount of them.

I think we are overreacting , most people won't be able to kill someone.
