More Kids Than Soldiers: The Heartbreaking Truth About Gun Violence in America....

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

In the last 10 years, MORE innocent babies have been SLAUGHTERED in school shooting than the troops who volunteeres in the Military... HOW MUCH MORE ARE WE GOING TO TAKE? I'm sick of kids having to have "practice" how to deal with an ACTIVE SHOOTER in F*cking schools? When will this nonsense STOP? For gun humpers who claim they need WEAPONS of WAR to hunt is Bullsh!t! What the hell are you hunting? GODZILLA? HOW...MUCH....MORE? ! And Mayhem Ensues is TRULY preaching common sense & TRUTH!

The government collectively fights against the gun lobby.

The second amendment is declared archaic and no longer relevant.

Manufacture and sales of guns and ammo are banned.

Guns in the hands of private citizens are taken away, by a buy back if necessary.

Licencing is tightened to the extent that due reasons for owning a gun is very restrictive.

Police get the power to enter without cause and remove guns from private property.

In short . . . . . . . . . . don't hold your breath.

So far, they don't want it to stop.

Further I believe the GOP likes the violence.
They get off on violence, chaos, division.
