Do you support banning semi-autos? Yes or no.

128. When I see the results of mass killings and listen to the proposed ideas for gun

control, it always comes to me that none of the proposals will stop mass killings or even single incidents of gun violence.

We are probably the only society that puts gun rights before human life.

Nearly 600 killed or maimed in one incident and yet we can't discuss gun control!

My thinking is that the second amendment does not give us a right to own guns. And that the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness trumps gun rights.

We have more guns in this country than we have people. The mean number of guns gun owners have is eight.

We need to begin to cut down on the number of guns in this country.

We are the only society with this many guns and this much gun violence.

My idea is that we have to, as a society, make gun ownership an anti social act. We need to be ashamed before the world of our gun culture.

Future generations should be taught to turn their backs on gun ownership.

We need to stop being bullied by the NRA and the gun lobby and gun owners.

Somehow the "thoughts and prayers" thing fits in here. To me it is shirking our responsibility to do anything about mass killings. We say it is in god's hands not our own.

In many ways we are an unenlightened immature society and that is getting worse not better.

I believe if you are one to work against our society doing something about gun violence you are as complicit in that violence as if you pulled the trigger.

I am not saying here to pass laws rather I am saying our society needs to turn away from it's gun culture voluntarily.


That is what I am thinking tonight.
