(22,239 posts)Someone suggests gun control and the answer is: We can't do gun control because of the second amendment.
Someone suggests changing the second amendment: We can't change the second amendment.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Mass shootings happen with alarm regularity and we do nothing.
Run of the mill shootings happen so often, we can think of think of them as "run of the mill" and that doesn't bother us.
Our cops have had to become a paramilitary organization that all too often shoots first and asks questions later because their are so many guns and we wring our hands asking where we went wrong.
And you are going to bring the Taliban into this argument? Who the fuck do you think armed the Taliban in the first place? And what do you think we armed them with: hunting rifles and handguns? What a pathetic argument.
