(5,126 posts)What I am hoping for is that this culture of "guns are holy" can get settled down a bit.
Instead of pushing their fear buttons of having their guns taken away, make it a mundane civic duty to behave in a responsible manner with guns in public.
As many nuts out there shooting, our real issue is how freaked out the gun owners are about losing their 2nd Amendment rights.
We get the responsible gun owners to relax and show the way REAL MEN AND WOMEN act with their guns in public, and the hysteria dies down.
THEN we have more energy to devote to people who are really sickos and need help or to get locked up if they refuse to learn to solve their problems without using guns.
The reason the REICH Wing has demanded everyone needs to take their gun everywhere is to normalize the potential for using guns to solve problems out in public.
The reason they aren't acting Pro Life with children being shot in school is because they want US DEMs to freak out and enact draconian measures so they can rebel and say, "I told you DEMs are coming after our guns."
It needs to be set up in such a way that gun owners have the ultimate say in whether they keep their gun rights or lose them.
Just like people who drive drunk know they are risking a DUI or running a stop light might result in a ticket.
Gun owners have to be treated like the rest of adult world.
Your actions have consequences.
Behave in a reasonable manner when you have a gun in your hand or hand over the gun.
Your choice, but these are your choices.
