Nothing is off the table--No idea is too stupid to consider

28. I am more and more leaning toward banning guns.

I don't know why our society has to take a back seat to people like those on this board who have no empathy for the victims and their families of yesterday's shooting but can only post threads supporting their gun rights. I think it is a sickness not to feel what the other people of the country feel when we have these tragedies. They know gun control is discussed after everyone of these shootings so they dust of their usual obfuscation arguments and argue about gun rights. Well we as a society have rights too. We have the right to try and prevent as much gun violence as we can. I can no longer give a shit about gun rights. I have had enough.
We need to get rid of the second amendment it serves no purpose today. The reason other countries can do something about gun violence and we can't is because they have nothing like our second amendment. Until that happens we need a Supreme Court that will interpret the Second Amendment to mean what it says. Not that it gives people the right to bear arms without reguards to the regulated militia wording. That will put us on the same footing as other countries.
We need to make gun owners social outcasts. We need to link them to gun violence because they inhibit our ability to do something about it.
We need to see the NRA as an enemy of the people.
We need public financing of elections so that gun money can't buy politicians and so the NRA can't threaten our elected leaders.
This my not happen in my lifetime since I am 69 yrs. old. Hopefully younger people will not be as enamored with guns as my generation was.
We need to fight back.
