If you speed, you'll get the max fine. If your kid grabs your gun and kills his best friend and then himself..it;s "thoughts and prayers" time because we reckon you've already had it bad enough.
And forced sterilization of gun owners with names like Billy-Bob and those who appear to have played that popular game, incest.

No need, they keep putting pistols in their pants and handling that problem all by their one-sies. Besides....if you got rid of the bucks and cletii and billy bobs...you'd never get the dustys like me. See, if they just won;t give up the ghost, it takes a redneck to ferret out a redneck and take all his guns (and women, and job, etc) 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I knew I wasn't the only person who thinks it makes sense to consider the Republican party as willing accomplices in this epidemic.
To be fair, Khemikal's assessment of it does make sense; they're not using it to promote some sort of endgame they probably don't even have anymore. Unless, maybe, it's not the Koch Brothers or Donald Trump or the NRA ruling the Republican party from the shadows, but Herbert "a murder every few days keeps California from turning into Arizona Bay" Mullin! Makes as much sense as anything else!

I say it's never too late. Laws can always be changed. I think America would be better off having gun laws similar to those in Europe. I don't think there's anything so very different about America that guns somehow need to be so widely available.
Whether this is ever going to happen, I don't know. America seems to have dug its heels in pretty far. But newer generations will eventually be in charge, and attitudes shift.

There is something different here, the NRA, and that is the driving force behind the paranoia of the frightened gun owners. Its a tool of the gunmakers and it is quite good at creating and feeding fear.

Less and less kids will be seeing America becoming great again.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
