Opinion: What people don't get about guns and the Constitution

Mass shootings have become so common in the US that we have developed a pathology for how to react. "We pray. But don't legislate. And prayer clearly is not stopping the slaughter," writes James Moore after a deadly mass shooting at a Texas elementary school.

We pray. But don't legislate. And prayer clearly is not stopping the slaughter. In all the statements to come from conservative politicians following up Tuesday's deadly shooting in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two adults were killed, do not expect to hear even a solitary voice suggest gun reform. The Second Amendment is always treated as more important than the lives of children. Words like "evil" and "incomprehensible" and "horrific" will be thrown around and, as Republican US Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas urged us, we will be encouraged to "come together as a nation." But I suspect we -- or some of us -- already have. Some of us came together and decided that no horror caused by guns can be worse than restricting access to guns.

That person is as loose as your black asshole. Used children's deaths to mock prayer, families and gun rights all together in one nonsensical statement. Stop AIDS kill a fag.

This is arguably the best part of the article:

The Second Amendment doesn't have to be destroyed to save our country. The Constitution is a living document. Maybe it needs to be tempered for the times and adjusted from a 1776 context to an era when there are computers that can talk to each other, and guns that can fire an astonishing number of rounds. Isn't there a law that can be written to order state and federal databases for mental health and criminal records and gun purchases to all interact and share information? Aren't we smart enough as a culture to find language to protect our fundamental rights and our children?

@Rube Reaper -aint you supposed to be from the UK?
How's the severely restricted firearms laws working out?
Heres some interesting data for USA.

NZ firearms laws are now extremely restrictive, yet violent crime has only continued dramatically increasing.
Now we have feral gangs boldly roaming around shooting up the place,...with illegally obtained firearms.

LOL at calling UK or NZ firearms laws restrictive let alone “extremely restrictive”

Yeah, you're probably right aye, that's actually an excellent point.

Considering the graphs above, and the tragic consequences these types of obscenely draconian firearms laws allow for, despite all contradictory facts.

Perhaps instead of 'restrictive'.
'Egregiously oppressive' would be much more of a suitable description?

What do you reckon?

Making up fake graphs to give a 1/10 troll attempt is something I would expect from @TJHall1 until you did it above.

What!?

One outta ten?

Actually that's pretty generous.

Thanks dude

But I didn't make them.



And this isn't "trolling".



Should try expanding beyond simple dichotomous cognitive patterns.



It's incredibly predictable when peeps only ever do slight variations of this "thing" or that "thing".



Let's see what cha got.
