13036316, wouldn't the assumption be the two are related

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.
