I know. And yet we have to find a way to solve this.
I don't think there are any politically viable solutions.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If requiring a firearms license to own or purchase a firearm was politically viable, then I think there are things that could be done. Revoking or denying a license for domestic violence would be really helpful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The problem is that literally nothing is politically viable, apparently.
I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"

That's what I found so frustrating about the bump-stocks. We can't even outlaw something that exists solely to get around existing laws? It's not I think outlawing bump-stocks is going to save a bunch of lives, it's just such a low bar and even that is too much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh wow. My posts last night are almost incomprehensible. I must have been more out of it than I thought. I was having a terrible time with headaches and nosebleeds.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
What I can do on a personal level is destroy the guns my father does not sell in order to get rid of a few guns in our country. I encourage anyone who has unused guns in their homes to destroy them or render them non-functional. raw-tools is a non profit that turns guns into tools. I can refuse to go to homes where guns are not secured, including family members.
Homes that keep guns unsecured should be prosecuted. States need to pass laws criminalizing unsecured guns in any home with children.
Background checks should be required at gunshows and personal gun transfers should have to be conducted through a licensed gun dealer who for a feee will do the background check, and yes that includes transfers within a family. Proof that you have passed a background check should be required just like a license. Licenses should have to be renewed on a regular basis.
There should be a national ban on assault style weapons PERIOD.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Gud--I thought you were posting on a small device without glasses. Not that I've ever done anything like that, nope.
