Why wasn't there a plethora of mass shootings when firearms were much more accessible?
General 14 students, 1 teacher dead following mass school shooting in Texas

too numerous to count... its why you never hear about them, because they are so common its not deemed as news worthy.
It was about the UK here tho.
it's a question of cost and benefit. "ban gun" is a dumb idea because of the huge cost and low likelihood of significant benefit.
it doesn't mean that I don't empathize with the parents of dead kids. But I also empathize with the thousands of parents who's kids kill themselves every year, and the hundreds of thousands that end up in a life of violence and prison because of existing prohibition laws.
Cost high. Benefit low.
Have you noticed that the vast majority of the gun ban argument isn't based on anything beyond "You need to care about dead kids as much as I do!" ?
Excuse my ignorance, what does this part of your post have to do with gun laws?
I have noticed that you veil it well, but I'm sure that sometimes you must be totally drunk when posting.
Don't be this way.
Fuck cost. Raise my taxes for this. I’m in. And this should only be step one of what we do to help and protect our children.
And if you want to work on something to prevent drownings or keep kids safer in car accidents I’m in for that, too. But we are still going to do this, also.

In honor of my fallen friend I am changing the term ‘nut hugging’ to mean following someone around berating them or being condescending.
So stop nut hugging Beard! Hit your reset button, please.
And I am saying this out of love.
Antagonistic people like this need not be carrying weapons. Are they allowed to do it? Yeah. But why?
Is it to make a point?
Or start a fight?
I put these open carry clowns in the same category as those Westboro Baptist loons who protest funerals. They aren't stable.
I actually agree with everything (although need an accurate definition on "assault weapon") except the liability of gun manufacturers. That makes zero sense.
