We need to change folks' views - just like smoking, driving drunk, waving/flying confederate flags, spousal abuse, and more that used to be popular and tolerated.

People need to understand that there are too many Zimmermans walking around with guns. They also need to recognize there a lot of callous toters -- you can even read some disgusting posts right here.

Finally, we can wait another decade to do something, we'll just have 100 million more friggin guns to deal with and a lot more innocent victims.

All that to coddle the gun culture.

Just as well, I guess. bluedigger Apr 2012 #1

Because it's a constitutional/human right, and cigarettes don't... Glaug-Eldare Apr 2012 #97
