You know, the primitives are idiots.
If guns were banned, it'd have the same effect as back when alcohol was banned.
We all know how well that worked.
And I'd guess the natural instinct to have something available for self-defense is at least as strong as the natural instinct to imbibe. At least.
Notice, please, how the primitive side-step the core causes of things such as what happened here; the breakdown in family values, a lack of respect for God and religion and the sanctity of human life, the old hippie admonishment that "if it feels good, do it," the general level of political and pecuniary corruption in blue cities and blue states, a popular media that is "against" goodness and decency, and a president whose rhetoric is LOADED with incendiary, inflammatory, hate-filled, divisive, violence-encouraging language.
