she is definitely not on the side of practicality and reason on this issue.

she may as well have a megaphone that her house is filled with guns fercrissakes, and she wants it to stay that way.

don't like that whiney pampered ass shit anyway.

and is coming across as an apologist for the NRA. Gun control is NOT gun banning, she knows it and yet she deliberately equates the two as the same. Disgusting, imo.

legislation passed, they need to be specific in what they want instead of just broadly saying that we need to limit access to guns. And she's right. Saying "we need to take away the guns" won't get you anywhere.

and stop sensible gun control. Those who are talking about this, for the most part, are talking about GUN CONTROL, sensible laws on the books that the rest of the industrialized world already has in place. Ms. Ball is ignoring what is actually being said and regurgitating the NRA crap by saying the discussion is appearing to be "take all the guns away", imo.
