It's the 2nd Amendment...

...get rid of it...

...it's the guns...even a die-hard looney couldn't mass murder 9 people in less than a minute with a baseball bat...

...make firearm ownership a privilege not a right...it would make controlling firearms much easier...

...I'm a gun owner and a gun lover...but we've got to do something meaningful about this out of control gun violence epidemic we're experiencing...

...tighten use laws, taxing, licensing, educational requirements, testing, stiff fines, imprisonment, nationwide registry, exclusions, tracking and identification would all help to keep guns under control...and limit the type of a legal gun...a single shot bolt action rifle won't pump out 30 rounds in under a minute...but you could take a deer with one...

...the government knows where your cell phone's located minute by minute...why not your gun?

...I'm willing to live under much tighter gun laws...most sensible gun owners would agree something has to be done...

...want to get rid of the NRA?...get rid of the 2nd Amendment...

...I don't know about you, but I'm tired of living in a war zone...

...do it...

I don't understand the loving guns part. The rest of what you said is right.
I like my sewing machine. My material. my Tahoe love is a little far out there.

Remove tax exempt status
Go over all their books and jail every exec for any illegalities
Restore the idea that weapon manufacturers are responsible
Institute a computerized nationwide gun registry
Kill everything they fought for
Approve everything they fight against

I've tried and tried and tried, but after 7 years of mass shootings after mass shootings since Sandy Hook, nothing has been done. I would have thought the senseless murder of children was where we draw the line, but after what Alex Jones did, there's no low the gun nuts won't stoop to. It's time to disarm and get rid of the damn guns.
