News flash- It is our right to have and carry arms. Please refer to the 2nd Amendment to the USA Constitution and the various Supreme Court cases interpreting it.
And I don’t care to surrender my rights because-
1. Gang bangers kill for the drug trade (at least half the murders).
2. The mentally ill get their hands on weapons (usually content to kill themselves, but not always).
3. Liberal progressives decide to become violent (there are more mass shooters who are progressive liberal, than belong to the NRA).
These loons and criminals kill innocents sometimes. If you disarm the law abiding citizens, these loons and criminals will kill more people, not less.
The most recent mass murderer was a prohibited possessor three times over (dishonorable discharge, mental illness, and conviction for domestic violence and assault). The Air Force made a mistake and did not report him to the National database.
