Yea but those heroic house Democrats don't want to take assault weapons off the market, they just want to confine the mass shootings to aggressors age 21 or older. Is that how they're gonna stick it to the gun manufacturers? Surely it won't be that big of a setback for them. LL> AT> How do elites protect themselves from getting shot? LL> LL> Children and adults alike are getting murdered as a result of the LL> lack of real gun control legislation being passed. Something needs LL> to be done NOW to prevent future carnage from happening. Since you don't know the answer, I'll tell you: They have their own security detail. Elites don't need gun control to protect their children, they need it to protect their power. LL> AT> I'm convinced that better security is the way to go. LL> LL> I'm convinced getting rid of easy access to assault-style weapons LL> and other types of weapons is an integral part of the solution. What's the whole solution then? There are dozens of starting points we can begin at. This starting point that your people recommend is ok, but did the Las Vegas mass shooter look like a teenager to you? --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64) * Origin: CompuBBS | Ashburn VA | cfbbs.scinet-ftn.org (1:275/99) .
