It isn't a matter of intent. I fully accept there are plenty of folks whom own firearms who will not commit crimes. I am only addressing the conditions that have put America at the top of the list of first world western nations that have far more firearm violence than we should have.

I'd trust Gawdzilla with a firearm. I'd also trust my best friend from Oklahoma with a firearm. I am not talking about intent, but math and ratio and ease of access. Plenty of firearm owners agree, that their is a problem. The argument is how to fix it. I don't see the pace of manufacturing as helping. I don't see "walk in, same day, buying" as helping.

The problem with the NRA is their attitude is sell more and do nothing.

I didn't say anything about intent.  That would be presumptive and unverifiable.  I was simply stepping into a silly argument with a southerner's anecdote.

As I said earlier, I'm a results guy.  The results show, as to gun violence, what we have done up to now is not working.  We need to be open to possible solutions even if they lie outside our pet ideology or 2nd Amendment idolatry.

It would be fucking fantastic if the majority of Americans were interested in results. I fully agree. But right  now we have a minority of  5 million idiots who think muskets and Bushmasters and A-R-15s are the same as muskets. And those same idiots think "no record" at time of buy is valid vetting. Those 5 million are holding the sane hostage.

Pretty sure muskets are the same as muskets.

And musket is a type, AR-15 is a model, and Bushmaster is a brand name.

I have a dream that one day, guns will be as well regulated as mother fucking sudafed.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

As a correction, the case doesn't contain itself to Wayne.
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!
