I'm not a big fan of paying for nothing, as a principle. Regardless of whether any of us think there should be, any gun regulation will cost.
Nobody should think things will magically change overnight, but we are at this point because of 40 years of fear marketing by the NRA and the industry. There was a time when nobody thought slavery would end, or segregation would end, but it did. America CAN if it wanted to, get a handle on firearm violence and still allow firearm ownership. But we cannot sit and do nothing and allow one industry and one lobby dictate the narrative.
We have to do something other than what we are currently doing.
