    criminals, not known for obeying laws, are unlikely to surrender their firearms.

    good luck legislating the problem away though!

      yeah all those mass shootings conducted by people with the occupation of “criminal”. Driving everywhere on the wrong side of the road, stealing everything, punching babies. Mowing down school kids was just on their typical criminal docket for the day. If it’s illegal, they’re gonna do it, cus they’re immune to laws.

      Yeah, there’s no perfect immediate solution, so let’s just give up on solving the problem.

      Republicans are easy to spot though. We know where they live and we can take their guns. We don’t need luck to handle a bunch of obese mentally ill people.
