@Adogslife ...guns to a gun owner is what booze is to a drunk. A gun gives a gun owner a false sense of courage, just as a shot of whisky gives a drunk a false sense of courage, typically referred to as 'liquid courage'.
@helenS I do get it. I really do. But, we have too many guns now and too little real control.
Where else in the first world do you see school shootings so often? The legislation needs to concern itself not with gun ownership, but instead the regulation of automatic and semi-automatic weapons.
There’s a way that everyone can win and it’s NOT about everyone being armed to the teeth.
@swirlie why should the US be involved anyway ?? every time we get involved, the whole world screams and cries. Of course, when we don’t get involved, the whole world screams and cries.
@MayorOfCrushtown The US should be involved with Ukraine because if the US does not get involved, Russia will be on America's doorstep before any American knows it.
That's what happened during WWII when the US had otherwise chosen to remain as an Isolationist Nation, which means they chose to sit on the sidelines and not get involved with the world war that was going on in Europe.
It wasn't until after Japan had invaded Pearl Harbor that Sir Winston Churchill of Great Britain informed the President of the USA that German submarines had been positioned at the entrance to New York Harbor for 6 months prior to Japan's invasion. Only then did the USA come out of mothballs and get involved.
@MayorOfCrushtown Don't hide in the closet on me there, big guy. Come on out here like the courageous gun slinger you're pretending to be and answer my question.
@swirlie like when the British attacked the American colonies on April 19, 1775. Or when the Confederacy first attacked the United States (Union) when the Union held Fort Sumter in Charleston, SC.
