I absolutely agree…they can’t come get my guns. But I don’t (and WON’T) own military-style assault rifles and I’ll be happy to have any kind of waiting period and background check they want. We just need to get assault rifles off the streets and do SOMETHING to turn this mess around. ?

I’m in favor of waiting periods. I’m not in favor of guns being confiscated by government entities of any level. The problem with proces is that criminals, by definition, don’t obey laws and there is not enough trained law enforcement officers to protect everyone. I personally don’t own a gun, but I’m one of the few members of my family that can say that. It’s a personal choice.

Again…I am NOT advocating removing all guns. I am advocating sensible solutions to get and keep guns out of the hands of people with a criminal background. And NO ONE needs a semiautomatic rifle outside of law enforcement and the military. If you want to shoot military style weapons, then join the military.

The tongue is a powerful weapon, a world of iniquity. James 3:1-18
Guns are nothing more than a tool. A tool that allows hate to be manifested.
Until we find a way to eliminate Hate and control the tongue, there will always be methods, tools and implements to inflict this evil.
It is supremely naive to think we can stop this evil by taking away one of many tools rather than addressing the root.
It also seeks to leave others vulnerable and at the mercy of this evil.
