(21,977 posts)Sure, I understand people being upset. I'm upset about the massacre. I've said elsewhere in GD, several times, that I would support an assault weapons ban.
But the post to which I responded? Asinine, and obviously has no place in rational discussion. All gun owners are guilty? Of what? Breaking the law? Nope. Killing schoolchildren? Nope. So I repeat, this is the most asinine comment I've ever seen on DU, and it has no place in any rational discussion of gun control.
Banning all guns is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS COUNTRY. NEVER. There's a lot of knee-jerk crap being spouted here since the tragedy. But a total ban (some go so far as to call for confiscation of all guns) is just never going to happen. I'd vote against it, and a lot of other Dems would too. So let's talk about RATIONAL common-sense gun control, like an assault weapons ban.
And I'm sorry for your dearth of patience. That's your problem. I responded to your post in a rational way, without resorting to ad hominem b.s. or slurs like your "getting wasted" comment, which frankly I don't appreciate.
