37. How are those gun laws working
Sat Jul 13, 2013, 01:22 PM
Jul 2013

To the people who make the snarky comments like "how are those gun control laws working" in response to every murder that happens in a blue state ask yourself this. Do you say the same thing when someone is murdered in general "How are those thou shalt not kill commandments working for ya" or "How are those laws against murder working out for ya". Yes, that's how ignorant you people sound when you reduce the debate to that elementary level.
