(53,235 posts)I agree, it's happening more and more. Or else we're being made aware of it more and more via the Internet.
Toys guns could be banned but better yet, OPEN CARRY SHOULD BE banned. And guns should only be sold in GUN stores, not discount department stores. If Wal-Mart wants to sell guns, let them open up stores solely designed to sell only guns. But that would never happen, because (1) they'd never do it willingly and (2) no govt official would ever make them do it because Wal-Mart owns them.
And then there's the even bigger problem. Our Gun Violence Culture. And our law enforcement all want to be freakin' Rambos. Thank you, Hollywood, for cultivating the Gun Violence Culture. Hollywood tells us it's okay to be powerless, because we have guns as our equalizers. Only they're never used on our true enemies, are they?
