Let's end this argument for once and all.

There is no gun law that can be passed to end gun violence in the next 30 years. The only way that gun violence could be significantly reduced is by

a total confiscation of all guns, and surprise 24/7 searches to get guns off the streets. Continuous searches. So in absence of that kind of law,

all that any other law could accomplish is to continue to drive a wedge between democrats. That is why the Republicans of fewer numbers get elected

every so often. Why not drop the push for all gun legislation and unify the Party and get busy saving this country from the Republicans and their

ilk. Barack won, but now he is going to be battled by the Republicans at every turn, and the Republicans still have a stronghold in working people

that don't want to see taxes raised. PRO gunners have already demonstrated that they don't care what kind of argument is presented against guns.

There is no legislation that will do anything except break up the Democrat part. So why not drop any push for gun legislation that only aggravates

pro gunners and unify the party with a solid front. I know that I tried to make this as logical as possible and I know the shit will get knocked out

of it, but lets consider it. Even the most regulated countries like Germany still have gun homicides. Every country still has gun homicides. And the

gun homicide rate and the non gun homicide rate are functions of a ratio that indicate that if they kill a lot of people without guns , they will

kill a similar but smaller number of people with guns. There is always going to be gun violence. The trend is that gun violence declines with

licensed gun carrying. Any significant gun law will get voted out at the next election. And if we keep fighting about gun laws , thats the right we

have, but it is not right for the party.
