(54,770 posts)2. There is some truth that we've coddled gun-strokers for so long that
restrictions won't have an immediate impact on killings, etc. But restrictions will have bigly long-term and the sooner we start, the better. Every decade we make excuses for gunners, another 100 million of the dang things are bought and will have to be dealt with at some point.

It's not no guns.
It's not no more massacres.
It's not no more shootings.
Fewer guns.
Fewer full-auto workarounds.
Fewer shootings.
Fewer massacres.
Fewer fatalities.
Fewer broken families.
Fewer life-long injuries.
