(28,493 posts)it's perfectly okay for mass shootings to occur in this country.
I just wish that once someone who is quite fine with all of these weapons would somehow be impacted by one of these mass murders. And if you then say, "I'm fine that my (wife, brother, mother, son) was murdered. It's a small price to pay so that anyone at all can own a gun, including semi-automatic weapons," I'll then suggested you are as psychopathic as the murderers themselves.
No. No semi-automatic. Licensing and training for all gun owners. Mandatory insurance. Mandatory reporting of theft, and holding liable those whose guns were stolen if those guns were later used to kill someone. Limits on how many guns anyone can own. Background checks. Real background checks that exclude people who have no business owning guns. Major limits on ammunition.
And STOP fucking saying it can't be done. It can be if we want to.
Meanwhile, men in Congress are restricting women's Constitutional right to control their own bodies. Because, OMG! What if some woman actually enjoys sex! Punish her!
