If the country was a single room and no one had a gun, the chance of a gun related incident would be zero. This isn't difficult logic. The less guns, the less of a chance of a gun related incident. The government should be proactive with the proposed voluntary buyback program and offer tax incentives to those who disarm. Those who fail to undertake MCE or who do not pass psychological testing on an annual basis should be forcefully disarmed.
This is an unserious post
It is a 100 percent serious post. Children are getting gunned down in schools and the pro life crowd is busy trying to protect the gun owners and not the lives. It's sickening.
Children are not getting gun downed in schools. These are extremely rare events.
I want to protect the lives while preserving rights. You don't have the answer, you just think you do.
Children aren't getting gunned down in schools? Did you watch the news today?
No, children aren't getting gunned down in schools to any serious degree.
