No country that enacted these controls already had the volume of firearms
we have presently. Comparing apples and turtles. Ban them and you have
nothing but illegal weapons. We have a porous border that democrats fight
very hard to ensure whole people can get across. Ban guns and see how that
turns out. Disarm real people and every city and town will be Compton USA.
Stop the hugathug campaigns and the shootings will be less.
You folks are only upset because some white kids may have been shot. You
dont care that more kids of color are killed annually in here and there
shootings. Get off the big ticket outrage bandwagon, its dispicable.
