Our gun culture is a sickness. We need to repeal the second amendment because it has been bastardized into something that is at the root of the sick gun culture.

A well regulated militia does not mean any gun any time. Without the second amendment we can make sensible laws like the rest of the world does.

Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness trumps the second amendment.

They are right in the middle of this shit everyday. One would think they would be the most outspoken for sane gun regulation.

People running around, wide open with guns is an insane idea.

Every cop I know views it as a people issue - they think the legal system is too easy on gun offenses. Focus on the violent people and the problem is diminished.

What we need is fewer guns out there, period. We need extremely strict gun laws with even stricter penalties for breaking them.

What we need is EXTREME VETTING...for gun owners. PROVE you're responsible. Pass background checks. Pass safety tests. Mandatory re-checking. Like the DMV, but less fun. Then we'll talk about you having a gun.
