Anyone who actually thinks we are going to ban guns or succeed in doing so is living a fantasy. There 300+ million guns in this country, that we know of. They are not going anywhere. Like it or not...that's the reality.

When the President and everyone else is interested in ideas of gun control that actually might work and be productive....then lets have that debate. But this AWB that is being discussed is absolute garbage. It would not stop a single mass shooting.

There are far more serious problems facing this country. Social Security, Medicare, Education, the economy, debt.... those are issues that are going to impact EVERY SINGLE ONE of our children!

Mr. President...members of Congress...if you are so worried about our kids...do your jobs and fix the f***** economy! Why do I constantly get the feeling this is another bullshit side issue to distract and divide us while the banks, rich, and corporate America continue to rip us off?

This game is old.
