Anyone Here Kinda Sit Somewhere In The Middle Between "Ban All Guns" and "No New Laws"? [View all]
Because I feel kind of like just throwing up my hands right now.
I check my facebook feed and its filled with pictures of NRA slogans and stuff talking about how if the teachers had guns this event wouldn't have happened. I read that and I think that's pretty stupid because you'd just have a bunch of people untrained in how to use firearms popping of shots in a school. Their answer to the problem of gun violence is more guns.
And then I come here and there seems to be a pretty sizeable, or at least vocal, majority of people in support of a severe reduction, if not outright ban of all firearms. And while I think those people's hearts are in the right place, I find that position so impractical and unlikely it's not going to add anything to the discussion at large with their answer to the problem of gun violence being no more guns.
I just want to know what can be done, not what should be done. Because how often in American society is what should be done actually done?
