It is an epidemic in this country, and that is because there are so many guns in circulation and that is because they are too easy to get. The NRA funds the Republican party so the Republican party leaves gun control alone.
None of what I just wrote is opinion. It is all fact.

In too many other countries these morons cant get their hands on guns so easy to pull the trigger SD. It is why this happens so much in the United States. Nobody is saying they want to take your guns away man.

Maybe just make it harder for every twisted fuck who wants to use them to kill other people to get their hands on one? Is that really an opinion that you do not share?

Should it be so easy for almost anyone to buy a freakin gun??

My father in law owns several and trust me when I tell you that nobody is getting their hands on one of them. They are for the deer. It is inexcusable that so many of these people can get a gun at the drop of a hat. And it is a problem that can be solved if the Republicans would get more involved. They dont for one reason. The NRA’s money. You can call that an opinion but than you might as well call oxygen being necessary for breathing an opinion.

Im not trying to change your mind about the second amendment dude. Nobody is. At this point we might as well sell them in 7-11’s though and that is a fuckin problem.

I think it should be easy for every American that is legally allowed to own a gun to get one. And I absolutely oppose trying to limit what type of gun people can get.

I'd rather live in a free society with our constitutional rights and possibly die in a random shooting, than live in an oppressed society where the government tells me what I can and can't have. I'll take my chances with my fellow Americans over giving the government control over my life.

I'm not opposed to background checks and improving that process. We have background checks for lots of things, like a job, line of credit, etc.

As a country, we need to spend a lot more time, energy, and money on mental health. And normalizing talking about it and receiving help. I'm a work on progress on this myself, as I think people my age and older often consider people soft for being sensitive, needing help, etc. In actuality, asking for help if needed is probably the most strong-minded thing anyone can do. It takes toughness to let someone in. I know I struggle with sharing things with people I know.

Also, I'm huge on freedoms but with that I'm huge on serious punishment. I'm for legalizing all drugs, but if you are proven guilty of committing a crime while under the influence, then you will face severe prison time. And I think the same for guns, if you are proven guilty of committing a crime with a gun then you face severe prison time. With great power comes great responsibilities.
