(7,947 posts)but... how important is your being pissed off? I mean, I get pissed off at all sorts of things. I don't like paying property taxes (up 20% suddenly!), and I get pissed off at the gas tax and I really get pissed off that I pay many times more in income tax than "billionaire" Trump.
I'm pissed off a lot-- just ask my partner how often I yell at Wolf Blitzer.
I'm just not sure that us being pissed off about something is more important than something that could prevent the utter devastation of families and communities when there's a mass shooting. IF (and I know that's a big IF) making ammunition for these sorts of weapons more expensive is a way to get around the refusal of 20% of the population but 55% of the legislators from enacting a ban on these weapons...
Sorry. Got lost in that sentence! But maybe it will help, you know? maybe it won't, and if not, what suggestions do you have that will work?
