Far more civilians have died because of bad gun laws than been killed by government. And the spread of this virus alone, even without guns, is a direct result of 40 years of deregulation and "don't tax the rich".

Those kids were shot by the National Guard...not Joe Freaking Redneck in his bubba hat.  

You are a disgrace.  Take your meds and get off the Internet till they kick in.

YES THAT WAS BAD! I am not disagreeing with you. 

Our government SHOULD NOT be executioners of protesters. 

I AM SAYING public policy matters. And between that one event, and 50 years since of bad policies dominated by the GOP as far as gun laws, how many more people die from suicide, domestic violence and accidental? 

The same government that lit the powder keg of Kent State, is the same government that has for far to long allowed San Yysidro, Lubies, Columbine, Newtown/Pulse/ Vegas.

Nobody wants more of either, so laws matter in the end.

I’m warning you to stop this and to stop it now. If you want go create your own gun control thread, do so. 

But this isn’t the place for it.
