13036316, wouldn't the assumption be the two are related Posted by bentagain, Tue Jun-21-16 01:16 PM
that is
crazy + access = mass shootings
you can't cure crazy...that I know of
least we could do is make it harder for crazies to get WMDs, IMO.
I haven't heard the rationale for selling these AR-15s/AK-47 high capacity multi round kill as many people as you can as quickly as you can, etc...
I haven't heard the rationale for citizens to have access to these types of weapons
are we suppose to believe people are buying them for something other than mass shootings?
I could see some of the analogies if I was able to go into Walmart and buy rocket launchers, bombs, nuclear weapons, etc...
but as far as I know, those weapons are illegal, for what I will assume are the same reasons these automatic assault weapons should be illegal
I'm sayin, what's a well regulated militia without fighter jets
I want a tank, why can't I own a tank
etc...
anyway, IRT regulation
we regulate everything else
take 911 for example (I heard this analogy in a panel)
crazies decided to turn airplanes into WMDs
and we responded with increased regulations
air marshalls, reinforced cockpit doors, enhanced security screenings, etc...
the gun debate is the only one I can think of where people are so inclined to just throw up their hands, shrug, and say there's nothing we can do about it
???
oh, and Australia.
