      I’d love to see something like the response in Australia happen in the U.S., but it’s clear that there are enough people in the U.S. who are okay with kids being shot to death in schools, and adults being shot to death in theaters and grocery stores, that it isn’t going to happen. So we have to use alternative tactics to make meaningful progress.

        Just the minority of this country is fine with it, doesn’t make everyone. Where would we be if the civil war was not fought?

          I know it’s a minority. But it’s enough (which is what I said), because they have been effective at stalling real progress on the issue. Not sure I understand how this relates to the civil war, unless you are just saying gun control is “the right thing to do” regardless of the will of the ammosexuals. Which I agree with.

            They’re not the stalling gun control. It’s the 1% and corrupt partisan judges, as I said. It’s funny, the 1% drove us to Civil War over slavery the first time using ignorant rednecks, they didn’t learn their lesson, now they think because they’ve got guns no one else does. It’s a joke. The cops don’t want to actually put themselves in jeopardy to enforce laws. This will come to a conclusion one way or another. You’ve obviously swallowed their propaganda so I’m done with you

                I did, which you keep conveniently avoiding. This entire thread you’ve avoided discussing the very simple very effective method of removing money from politics to solve this problem. 95% of the country want some form of gun control but the corrupt judges and 1% would rather stoke a culture war. Anything short of a ban, like every other civilized country, is a bad joke.
