"It" has all become a big blur to me.

[Botany]

Was this the shooting in Michigan? Or Georgia? Or Maryland? Or California? Or New Jersey?
Or Illinois? Or Pennsylvania? Or South Carolina? I could keep going on and on. All this madness
happened in the last week. Fuck the NRA, fuck those gun nuts, and their 2nd amendment free-
DUMBS. (btw they don't follow the whole 2nd amendment either because these shooters are not
part of any "well regulated militia." ) What about all of our 1st amendment rights to peacefully
assemble?

How about a new law that says if you buy a gun and it is used in a mass shooting you go to
jail for 25 years? It is the guns. End of story.

I have owned A FEW GUNS and I have hunted, fished, and camped for years but if by giving up
my 2 20 gauge pump shotguns, .22 rifle, and 1 30-30 rifle (haven't fired it in years) I could help
stop this madness I would do so.

1. PRISON

2. I don't recall if it was here or on Reddit where I saw the suggestion that the media refer to these

shooters by number rather than name to deny them their publicity and notoriety. Two fold benefit: anonymize these criminals, and remind people how many of these GD shootings there are every year.

3. If Anything, We're Going In The OTHER Direction

I do not see it getting better in my lifetime. It very well could get worse, in terms of More gun rights than there are now.

The "war," which never really was a war, to implement gun control, is over. It is a lost cause.

I realize the defeatist attitude is not popular here, but that is the reality. If anyone can tell me how the can hasn't been continually kicked down the road for the last 20+ years, I'm willing to hear it.

I'm on the side that if 21 YOUNG Children getting massacred, or 61 Concert Goers getting slaughtered, does not change a single thing, then NOTHING WILL.

5. And after the slaughter @ Sandy Hook their solution was that we needed more guns.

It is kind of like back in the dark and middle ages and the Bubonic plague was running wild
and people suggested that what was really needed was more rats with rat fleas whose guts
hosted the plague bacteria.

It is the guns. End of story.

4. I've been saying this for years. It enrages the gun humpers. Because the suggestion

that responsible gun owners should actually take responsibility is apparently the worst thing anyone ever said to anyone.
