In reply to the discussion: I just heard the story of one of the victims [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)32. You want to go hunting?
A single shot riffle is good enough. Small game, shotguns have been used since the 18 century.
And you got it, it's not cosmetic, it's the operation of the fire arm.
Don't worry, that won't happen, and more shootings to come.
That is the new normal.
You know why Tommy Guns were forbidden in the country? You don't want that to happen to these weapons, start accepting reasonable limits, ranging from background checks, glad we agree, to the size of magazines you can legally own.
Otherwise, after a lot more of this, pols will finally find their spine...
Not it my lifetime mind you, but when it happens it will be "sudden."

So you're just venting when you speak of banning guns. I respect you for acknowledging it.

And, as you have acknowledged, such bans and checks aren't going to happen for decades at least.

Exactly right. It's rather odd for someone to complain when a point in their *own* OP is addressed!
