Have you noticed that nothing ever gets done about gun violence? ~

It's sadly funny how every time one of these mass shootings occurs, people get all worked up for about a week, wringing hands about gun laws and such, but nothing gets done or even initiated. Then other news comes along and they go back to sleep until the next one happens, and they get all worked up for about a week, and again, nothing gets done or initiated, and the pattern is repeated as other news comes along and they go back to sleep until the next one occurs, and so on, and so on, and so on. Now here we are, almost 10 years since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and 23 years since Columbine High School, to give two examples, and nothing has changed.

It all just gets filed under Sh*t Happens.

Sad but true...and honestly if the govt buys back semi-auto/full auto ASSAULT rifles at like $7500-10K per weapon NO QUESTIONS asked... i am certain they will get plenty back to help as long as then after that ASSAULT rifles are banned. This country does NOT have to ban every single gun there is... Just the senseless ones such as ASSAULT rifles that citizens use.

This would be a GREAT start...to help with the situation as most mass shooting are with those types of weapons

@black4white Unfortunately, they can buy back all you want, but anyone wanting one will still find a way.

@RedBaron YES so true so true.... the goal is to BAN ASSAULT rifles....and then to try and make it so there are less of them on the market... thats why the buy back price is high.... becuae 90% buy them and never use them except for targets the first year..then thats it.. lol

@black4white Not really. The reality is that you can get anything for money regardless of what the government does. We’ve seen it with Prohibition and marijuana laws.

@RedBaron TRUE.....but numbers go down of ASSAULT rifles and thats the main goal
