(5,068 posts)The kid in TX was responsible, to the extent of TX and US law, in buying a gun with way too much firepower, up until the time he decided to use it irresponsibly. How do you effectively edit out irresponsible intent once they have a military grade weapon designed to all too efficiently kill humans and all the ammo in the world in their hands?

(255,595 posts)Since he didn't call for reinstating the Assault Weapons Ban (passed by Clinton and supported by former presidents Carter Ford and Reagan!) I'm not going to expect much. No one needs weapons of war - outside of an active war zone.

Which brings up another issue, the nra funnels russian money to these lying child hating bastards. We must see Ukraine thru this war successfully
or things will get even worse
