That comment right there just pisses me off, and that doesn't happen very often. What the heck gives you the right to make such an accusation of the people here?? Speak for yourself buddy and leave the accusations at home. There are 5 pages of conversation on this single thread. Many have suggested real solutions, solutions that you have dismissed out of hand because you personally don't like them. You also seem to care less about personal rights and freedom than you do some mythical promise that more laws will magically protect you.
You do not speak for me or anyone else on this board. I DO care. And I know damn well that the rest of the people care too. We don't want guns in the hands of bad guys, we're just realistic enough to know that there will never ever be a law that will stop bad guys from getting guns. As I stated in an earlier post - if they are a known bad guy, what the hell are they doing on the streets in the first place?? They should be in prison. But our damn system doesn't want them there. How the hell is another damn law supposed to stop them?
As for the Orlando shooter, who bought his guns legally, what fricking laws would you like added to the books to stop him? What damn 'compromise' did we fail to give to stop him? The guy was under FBI surveillance over the course of several years, and THEY, the precious government, those who promise they can protect us, restored his right to buy guns. So how the hell is that OUR problem???!! They blew it, we did not, yet you chastise the members here for not caring enough to do something?? I don't know what your issue is, but you're in no place to be making the call on whether or not we care about guns in the hands of criminals. If you bothered to read the topics of discussion on this board regularly, you would see that not only is gun safety a topic of regular discussion, but so is the disgust every time a gun is used in a crime. You whine about wanting US to compromise with the anti's - as if they have some magical solution. Well breaking news Jack, their solutions are failing - over and over. Gun free zones have become shooting galleries. Background checks have failed to stop many shooters, something they promised would work, and still want to expand. The fact remains that the anti's DON'T CARE about saving lives. They are only bleating about lives because it gives them the power to take our rights away. If you can't see that, then, my friend, you are being sadly mislead by some great liars.
I have more that I could say, but I'm leaving it with this last thought - your judgment of the intentions and desires of gun owners here in the NW and on this forum is most definitely misinformed and just plain wrong. It's bad enough I have to listen to lectures from the blowhard POTUS, I don't need to hear it from self-righteous, holier-than-thou citizens as well.
Amen!
And speaking of "ah ha" moments...don't let this guy get to you good Sir. The TROLL is strong with this one.
