You're letting your team down, son. Best let it drop.
Well riddle me this batman. Do you think extra laws would have solved either incident that has occurred? Because both tragic demonstrate that the issue has nothing to do with the choice of weapon. It is about the state of the human mind, our enforcement, and really our understanding of the human mind.
You are aware that the navy yard asshole had a history of mental issues right? They always do. They never snap. You know what that says to me...it says to me that the "gun control team" isn't really doing what they say they are doing. You want guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals? Well how well did gun control work for that guy? It didn't. It failed and 13 people DIED.
You can claim as much as you want that "more laws will help," but the reality is you are being duped by the politicians. They want to look like they are doing something. It isn't something as sinister as a plot to steal my guns. It is standard politics. They want to appease the mass for votes, and by passing some bull**** legislation and pull a Neville Chamberlain on your "team." Just in case you aren't up on history references the person mentioned was UK PM who stated "I have returned from Germany with peace for our time." Referring of course to appeasement of Adolf.
So what am I saying? Gun control laws are feel good laws. They do as much good as appeasement did for Hitler. It settles things down politically for a bit, but ultimately passes the buck on down the road so it can be someone else's problem. The fact is...mass shootings, crime, and just evil in general are not things that are going to be solved by a piece of paper that says, "STAHP IT!!" We as a society need to embrace the idea that maybe there is a glitch somewhere in our system and we need to take a look deeper. And mental health care damn sure might be somewhere to look. Maybe inner city economies or certain traits in our culture?
Or you could keep on the path you are on listening to politicians who want to appease the masses, claiming I am letting my team down. The fact is...we are on the same team: Civilized society and the gun control crowd and their feel good legislation is letting the team down.
