We as a group have spent almost 3 years making 2327 posts amongst a dozen or two posters and we are no closer to figuring out a answer to this problem now than we were when this thread started. We just keep going in circles like a dog chasing its tail. And we wonder why nothing is getting done in America when it comes to solving this issue. Well maybe we don't wonder why, but this thread is perfect example of what is happening.
Not bitching or pointing a finger just talking out loud.
I hear ya F.U.
For me, solving a national problem isn't a goal at Mock. It's more about shooting the shit, exchanging ideas/arguments, and sometimes just venting frustration.
I actually have learned a lot from some of the content and posters in this thread over the years and have a much better understanding of guns themselves, gun policy/history, and what drives the passions on both sides. And, I think you're right about the content herein mirroring the discussion/debate on the broad national level.
Personally, I often have fun going round and round and back and forth here, though, yeah, sometimes the shark gets jumped.
Anyway, I think national gun laws and policies will finally be tightened up within the next 2 years and the NRA will formally get behind (or, at least, not formally object to) some gun law/policy changes that are administrative or enforcement-related. That would be smart politics for them, in my opinion. We'll see.
