75. You're worried about this causing a curtailing of gun rights, but optimistic that it won't

of course you're optimistic!

you have reason to hope, because chances are this shooting and its killings probably won't change a thing.

of course you're optimistic! unlike almost all of us, who are actually worried that the killings will get worse, people who are primarily worried about gun rights are the opposite, they're OPTIMISTIC!

in fact the only restrictions you actually advocate for, you're quick to say would be political suicide to pursue.

you're really smooth.

but sometimes you slip.
