In reply to the discussion: five dead in OK mass shooting [View all]Texasgal

You know damn well that we need better protections! Think about UVALDE. That shit would have never happened had this 18 year old would have been blocked from buying a high powered rifle.
Guns should be HARD to own. Not easy!
Do we know that it would have helped in this particular situation? NO... but atleast it's a damn start!

My family had a gun related incident leaving my niece dead. Without that gun present, she would be alive today.

Sure. Like with cigarettes. Maybe just a stop gap measure until we can do something about the inbreeding crisis. n/t

Other "advanced" countries have a tiny fraction of the gun violence/deaths we do.
