But the problem then, as is true after mass shootings today, was guns. Whether it’s Columbine or recent mass shootings in Las Vegas or Parkland, Florida, the fundamental issue is that the people behind these tragedies were able to obtain extremely deadly firearms, from handguns to assault rifles to weapons modified with devices like bump stocks. This is what let the shooters carry out such awful atrocities. |

All of those words, and for what?
To conceal the real issue - their problem is FREEDOM.
Freedom to act lawfully and peacefully, and freedom to act violently and criminally.
But make no mistake - they know that getting rid of guns won't end the violent criminal behavior. What it WILL do is eliminate our liberty. And they know that, too.
In plain point of fact, that is their goal. |

55% of mass shootings are done with handguns.
There's been a couple of school shootings where shotguns were used; I predict that if we do get another AWB, shotguns will see much more use. They are DEADLY weapons.
It's the psychopaths we allow to go untreated and free in society, not the guns.
The Parkland High School shooter in Florida should have been arrested and confined LONG BEFORE that school shooting.
STOP TRYING TO BAN THE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
