re: #309 Dark_Falcon

If anything passes, which I still think unlikely.

Well, true. If it passes at all (Ha!) it will be an incredibly watered down, toothless version of whatever it is now and it won’t mean anything.

We’re so weird about guns in this country. Whenever these big massacres happen — which is a hell of a thing to type, BTW — we all get concerned about gun violence and about how and why and OMGWTF, but we don’t do anything about it. Then, when anyone suggests doing something about it, the gun nuts start hoarding more guns and ammo and the NRA and its lobbyists start freaking out about tyranny and ZOMG WE’RE GOING TO WAR OVER OUR RIGHTS.

Right on cue, nothing happens, people forget about their earlier outrage, and we go on as we have been, then we’re shocked when another gun nut flips his shit and opens fire.
