(41,987 posts)It should be so goddamned hard to get a gun that people should have to put their houses up as collateral. There should be psychological testing and periodic retesting and microchipping of gun owners so they don't function if anyone else tries to use them and NO access to automatic or semiautomatic weapons without joining the military or a police force. Anyone caught with an illegal weapon should have to spend years taking care of victims of gun violence.
This is MADNESS. How can ANYONE condone this insanity? You can't shop. You can't go to a movie. You can't sit at your goddamn car at a traffic light! And why? Because it's good that any madman in the country can act out his insanity on every innocent around him, with less impediment than he'd have if he wanted to drive a car or ingest a drug?
I can't believe we have come to this.
