(24,328 posts)Oh... and since I do NOT buy into the, "There's nothing you can do argument." your level of vitriol and outrage is wasted -- might want to save your anger for someone who actually does think that.
Considering I am a supporter of heightened background checks, of limiting access to certain weapons (like automatic weapons), that I can spout chapter and verse about Britain banning handguns after a school shooting and school shootings stopped in Britain (hence there is something that can be done) and I presently live in a very polite country with very strict gun control laws and travel to places that have very strict gun control laws and are very polite, like Japan. Ergo the 'armed society is a polite society' is incorrect. Oh... and for years the most heavily armed place on earth was Waziristan in Pakistan and it was one of the most dangerous places on the planet.
But see, I am able to explain (rationally) to those who disagree with me and... I have gotten more than ten people to agree with me.
