(1,009 posts)That there's a certain segment of the people who care about nothing but banning or controlling guns, "disbarring"
lol) the NRA, and trying to demonize gun owners. These people aren't interested in things like what is motivating these mass killers, and actually seem physically incapable of exploring ANY solution that doesn't involve "TEH GUUNNNZZZZZZ".
This, to me, represents the ultimate form of closed and simple mindedness. I think the general public is finally starting to understand that halfass, warmed over gun control measures will do NOTHING to stop, or even slow down this outbreak of mass killings (which is occurring despite a long term overall reduction in all gun violence and crime).
My feeling is that wall to wall media coverage of these events is a large contributer (certain types of wackos are attracted like flies to this attention), and if the media would tone this down, that would do 1000 times more good than another restriction on cartridge sizes, or adding a week to the waiting period.
