As I've said repeatedly on this Board, the political and economic will for that action simply doesn't exist in this country at this point in time, no matter how many kids are killed in schools.

    All of your other "gun control" is just so much feel good, ineffective nonsense. It's like trying to "control" drunk driving by banning all driving under the influence of beer. Hard liquor and wine? Have at it.
    There. Are. Too. Many. Guns. In. Play. At. This. Point. Period.

    If we started near Day Zero? Sure, it could work. Now? You would have to force a military action unseen in decades, if ever, to get all those guns back.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Maybe she was assigned to keep an eye on you? "I remember the night we drew straws. She was inconsolable."

            I always assume Dr. Mrs. is an emissary from the cool kids table who was tasked with opening diplomacy with the nerdy kids. It explains the communiqués.

                No, we can't. It's like that saying, "A journey of 1000 miles is too damm long so don't even bother taking a single step."

                  Have to start somewhere. Being defeatist about it gets us nowhere.

                    And I've been pretty clear on the stuff I'd like to see changed. However, the whole "Banz the Gunz" people are still thinking that's a viable option, when it's not. They are as loony as the "Keep all the guns" people.

                      Oh, it's viable. It's just not viable to you.

                        How viable was it in 1962 that within the decade we would send a man to the moon and back?

                        We've mastered the skies, split the atom, sent satellites beyond the reaches of our solar system...but guns. Guns are the great obstacle that will stop us.

                          Is anybody else getting a great sense of irony from this post? Perhaps the greatest ever?
                          "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

                          "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir
