Okay, listen up NRA flunkies and republican/conservative wonks. To prevent shootings like what recently happened in Florida, you do the following:
1. Reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban. Had this been in place, Cruz would NOT have had an AR-15 in his possession.'
How do you know? Heroin is illegal yet people manage to get their hands on it. Prostitution is illegal yet people manage to fuck hookers.
2. Treat ALL weapons like an automobile. This means that they have to be licensed and registered, and the owner has to pass a written and physical competency test. This will severely cut down on the trafficking of illegal gun sales and greatly assist in the tracking of guns used in a crime.
Like you treat abortions, this places an undue burden on law abiding citizens because of the actions of a few. Your argument is rendered moot by the simple fact there are millions of these guns in circulation yet these incidence are relatively rare. You try to gin them up to further your political goals, but the facts are that relative to the number of guns in circulation these types of events while tragic are rare and banning guns will do nothing to make children safe from psychotics hell bent on destruction.
Got that?
