I've resigned myself to the fact that our gun culture will never go away.
If the news of 20 first graders being slaughtered with a legally obtained weapon wasn't enough to change things, nothing ever will.
There's absolutely no 'need' anywhere for an AR-15. None.
Oh, you're worried about your tyrannical government terrorizing you? (which is what the 2nd amendment is all about).
Puh-leeze.
I've listened to all the arguments for them and none of them hold any water.
I also love the retort of: 'Well, the criminals will still find ways to get them.'
I'm not worried about hardened criminals (as I've stated from day one). A hardened criminal is NOT coming to my house with an AR-15.
I'm also not worried about black on black crime that happens in Chicago.
I am, however, worried about the 20-something loner/loser who happens to get his hands on one via his family or friends, and decides to shoot up a mall, movie theatre, church, school, etc.
Sadly, it's gonna take the leader of the NRA to suffer some horrific tragedy to even get the debate opened up.
