GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Midwest Spy]

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.

I think that's a legitimate concern and I wouldn't disregard anyone's feelings regarding it. I don't understand why the laws we already have are not enough and I'll never get why a simple straightforward law cannot be passed without the lawmakers adding a bunch of miscellaneous bullshit to their agendas.

Unfortunately, with those weapons (high capacity, semi-automatic) it really has to be a total ban.

I personally would have no problem with that.

We all know that won't happen though, so what really needs to change are the ways in which they are sold.

It needs to be an almost uncomfortable process to get one. I'm talking weeks of checks (mostly mental health, including all immediate family members).

Then, the question becomes, what happens to the ones already in circulation? Uh-oh.

So, I understand there's no way to get rid of these things.

They are the weapon of choice for mass carnage. Everyone knows it.

Like I've stated recently, these guns will never go away, so a person just really needs to hope they and their loved ones are not in the wrong place at the wrong time when the next one happens.
