1. It Won't

And No We Won't.

IT IS WHO WE ARE.

AMERICA!!

[Dial H For Hero]

2. It won't, and you won't.

Just being realistic….

[rsdsharp]

3. Is this a general rant, or is there something new and specific which prompted it?

[whathehell]

4. The school shooting in Michigan?

[regnaD kciN]

6. If it didn't stop with 20 dead primary school kids...

...who expects it to stop just because of three dead teens?

[rsdsharp]

7. Possibly. Possibly not.

Another context free OP. Clairvoyance isn’t one of my skills, although I thank you for your response. I haven’t been following the news today.

[whathehell]

11. More likely than not, I'd say.

[DashOneBravo]

12. It happens occasionally

One will show their virtue in the Gungeon.

5. It won't end, it won't change

To say it won't end, it won't change, is to say that Americans are willing to accept any level of death and gore (as long as bullets do the destruction).
I reject the idea that Americans, among all cultures, are so evil as to never change the 2nd amendment regardless of how much children's blood stains the halls and walls of schools, churches, and malls.

14. If you have an great and innovative ideas how to control the actions of random individuals...

...by all means, share them.

There is no organization to blame, defeat, dissolve, or punish. These were not the actions of an organized unit of people with leaders and strategy and tactics and goals. It was a the action of a single person, perhaps aided and abetted by a parent.

20. Change always seems impossible before it happens.

Change may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

8. Fear drives gun purchases.

The corporate media is always using fear to get ratings.

[spin]

15. Target shooting drove my gun purchases. ...

I do own two handguns I legally carry concealed but I didn’t buy them because I was afraid. I was living in a bad section of Tampa and I wanted an equalizer. I have moved since I retired but still carry concealed out of a 25 year habit.

9. Gun addiction and fear are features of our species, it seems, not bugs

10. This is beginning to sound like the MADD movement.

That was a movement to change the attitude toward a behavior and a 'culture'. A movement that shamed a culture into changing a behavior.

There weren't a lot of new laws passed. A few were more stringently enforced. The real outcome was that those who were the problem became aware that they were the problem. They became ashamed at the foolishness of their behavior when it was pointed out to them.

This is an older version of the mask/vax controversy; truth and facts against 'freedom'.

If you're not feelin' it yet, just wait.

[krispos42]

13. My guns are under control.

The fault lies with the shooter and possibly the shooter's father. Period. End of blame game.

[spin]

16. You and what army? (N/t)

17. I am a fan of irony.

18. I am a gun owner in favor of common sense gun control & reform.

At the federal level we need universal: background checks, red flag laws with due process safeguards, safe storage mandates, and an entire rewrite of our NFA to bring it out of antiquity and into the 21st century (this rewrite will even be popular amongst most gun owners).

Unfortunately, there is no chance that any meaningful gun control gets passed in the current political climate. Zero.

That's just the political reality. If Sandy Hook didn't even move the needle, what will?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

19. Why at the federal level? n/t
