Yes it does, as well as failure of our lax gun laws and failure to control gun accumulators.

There certainly should be laws to keep guns from the criminally insane. But violent offenders....

i think the larger issue is why gungeoners like yourself don't want this topic discussed here

not only did you state that you thought the OP was biased, you stated it as a reason to lock it.

Like I said, I was mistaken about bias, I don't think there is one. This guy was a gun nut!!!!

I'm sorry that all of this bothers you as much as it apparently does, CreekDog.

that post in the wake of Newtown was not about your hopes for "sensible gun laws"

Newtown. Here's a very thoughtful slideshow with a picture and little bit about each victim.

Yes, I've run into that, too. Right here on DU. I don't have the link (like others are requesting)

Absolutely. The Founders were slave owners, who didn't think women or people of color should vote,

I've never alerted on any gun fancier's post, no matter how callous, sick and disgusting.

Nope, I welcomed such GD posts long before I hurt Gungeoneers' feelings and got blocked.

I see little reason to post "seriously" to folks who need a gun or two to venture out

Nope, it is obvious to anyone not steeped in gunz. Get rid of yours, then look at gun fanciers.

That's what I'd like to see too. Of course, gun culture has long thrown road blocks into tracking

And I'm agreeing with you that going back to the original owner doesn't make sense.
