America's obsession with guns

[Brian37]

There are a lot of extremist left wing politicians that want to ban all guns. I realize that most leftists don't support an outright ban.

There now that's out of the way, lets carry on.

GLAD YOU AGREE so please fucking stop it with your paranoid "you are out to get me" bullshit responses.

1. Saying we make too many IS NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT  BAN.
2. Saying we dont do enough to keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill, domestic abusers and violent criminals also IS NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT BAN.
3. Saying that there is a huge difference between mere target shooting and shooting under stress under threat IS ALSO NOT A CALL FOR AN ALL OUT BAN.
4. Saying you don't need big clips or spray riffles also NOT SAYING you cant have a gun. YES YOU CAN. Within reason and especially with TRAINING.

"Legal at time of buy" does not automatically insure no mistakes after the legal buy.

Just like you have a right to your religion from a government standpoint, but you don't have the right to be free from criticism or regulation. 

NOBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU. You just said it in this post. The far left does not constitute the majority of the left. So stop hiding behind the far right fear mongers and stop buying the fear marketing of assholes like the NRA. They are NOT the non profit safety org they started out as. If they were, I would fully support them. But they are now nothing but an industry lobby whose only goal is to protect the factories and profits of the CEOs and shareholders.

YOU SHOULD want to care about where guns end up. Because regardless if you hurt yourself, or a criminal hurts you, that costs everyone money in heath costs, not to mention the mental pain it causes the families of those affected.

I am not anti gun, I am not anti private sector. I am simply arguing for a little SANITY.
