There are currently 357 millions of guns on American soil. Thinking of this number there will probably never be a satisfying solution on this issue. But knowing that millions of people all over the world (Berlin!) were marching against gun violence is a good sign anyway - and it is likely that the situation could improve if one day common sense will become a serious threat for the NRA lobby.

As others said before - let these countless US kids get old enough in order to be permitted to vote...

I got a good laugh from...awaiting the massive snowflake uprising.

If the bubba revolution didn't come with the previous bubba loathed POTUS, it's not going to happen.

Two of the items on the table were bump stock type products. I didn't ever think this approach was anything but a work-around for the automatic fire mode weapon ban, but he is a single minded gun enthusiast hobbyist that didn't see them thus. My feeling was that was a matter of time before they, combined with high capacity magazines, enabled mass murder by "hosing" crowds with massive firepower from one shooter.

You're particular bubbas are reactionary, not revolutionary, which makes them potential terrorists.

Blizzards can be quite devastating as can avalanches.

Rick Santorum is as clueless and out of touch as Whell. Wants the kids to learn CPR instead of trying to “get someone else to solve their problem”. People actually voted for this moron?
