(100,104 posts)The NRA will literally make it about anything else - race, sex, gender, orientation, mental illness, relative dying, pet dying, depression, economic status, you name it. The real issue is how easy it is for anybody in America to get a gun, and how the NRA has half of Congress in its' back pocket.

Having said that, I'd like to see an end to private ownership of high powered semi-automatic weapons with high capacity magazines. AKA assault rifles.
