The Virginia mother of the 6-year-old boy accused of shooting his first grade teacher was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison for child neglect.
Statistically, most Americans agree with much stronger gun controls. Even a significant portion of the conservative block. It’s the few holding the rest of us ransom.
That would be because there are many people who have no idea about firearms trying to legislate firearms. When the laws are written and constructed in such a way that it makes it so that the commoner is a criminal then the law is not viable. Stop sticking ridiculous riders on your bills and legislation.
I have zero consideration for my karma score. If I bother commenting it’s so others will read and possibly read into what I’m speaking of and further inform themselves.
Just for reference, the latest assault weapons ban would have banned everything that is not a bolt action rifle pump action shotgun lever action rifle or a revolver from the early 1900s. And with the overlapping restrictions many of those would also be banned for capacity weight or other arbitrary addon definitions.
For example a single action shotgun from 1880 would be classed as an illegal assault weapon as it has the capability to: “accept a detachable ammunition feeding device at some location outside of the pistol grip.” It does not matter that it is a single action. Shotgun the fact that there are devices specifically invented to assist with reloading makes it an assault weapon as the law is written.
I would rather live somewhere that bans guns by people who know nothing about guns than live somewhere where they aren’t banned but still regulated by people who still know nothing.

This is the only issue you’ll be downvoted for saying that about.
Abortion, internet security, immigration, healthcare, etc is all fine to say that about but not guns.

Oh I get it. I just hoped to add to it is all.
