I have been promoting well thought out improvements all along, and I still do, despite the resistance I am met with here.
No you haven't. You've been promoting that we do "something" as if we all don't want to do anything. Yet you haven't promoted ANY ideas. Not just bad ones, you've promoted nothing. I, as a negative nancy, have promoted more gun control ideas than you. I don't want to die after I piss off some teenage wasteland and the nutjob shoots up my office. Few people enjoy carrying a concealed weapon; logistically and sometimes literally it is a pain in the ass. A safer world makes life easier for all of us.
Adding more guns will not make your world safer. It hasn't yet, so...why would it start now? You are kidding yourself.
I'll repeat what I've said a few times already, one more time, maybe it will sink in; What I am promoting and hoping for is, for the people whose JOB it is to legislate to come up some well thought out plans to improve the situation. Get it now? I don't have answers myself, and I never said I had answers. I am promoting thoughtful and sane lawmaking, by those who's job it is, nothing more. For me to suggest any laws is pointless, this is a car forum, and as far as I know, lawmakers do not hang out here looking for idea's to take to work. I hope that clears things up.
The NRA spoke today. I sat in disbelief at what I heard, and turned it off in disgust after about 5 minutes. So much for sane, progressive or thoughtful solutions from the powers that be. The NRA sees adding more guns as the solution. Guns are what got the USA into this sh*t-pile in the first place. Their proposal is the very definition of insanity itself; doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.
"This lemonade is too sweet. Ok, I'll add more sugar, that will fix it." Good luck with that line of thinking.
