OK I give up... It's like talking to a brick wall. When's the next mass shooting scheduled? [View all]

So what have I learned this weekend.

I'm more safe than in the past even with more and more people carrying guns.

There is no way to try and reduce gun violence.

Strict interpretation of some amendments the the Constitution is all that is allowed.

There are mounds and mounds of information out there that points to the fact that a proliferation of guns does not relate to an increase in gun violence.

Probably a lot more but I can't think of them.

I don't know what it is in me that thinks were are all screwed up in this country over guns and related things. Reason tells me one thing and gun owners tell me the opposite.

I don't like it but I can't change it. I am sorry that we have the gun culture we do.
