Subj : Frampton Comes Alive To : Aaron Thomas From : Lee Lofaso Date : Sat Apr 08 2023 20:49:16 Hello Aaron, AT>>> Despite being "banned," opioids continue to kill people. LL>> Easy access to guns is the main cause of people dying needlessly. AT> We've already tried controlling access, and it didn't work. The 10-year ban on semi-automatics worked quite well, until Republicans decided to let it lapse. AT> The definition of insanity is to keep trying it some more. President Biden's proposal is better than the last time this was done, as all the loopholes have been removed. AT>>> A ban will slightly reducde the probability, LL>> The probability would become virtually nonexistent. AT> We need to make the POSSIBILITY nonexistent. Japan is the only nation on earth that actually did give up guns. But unfortunately had to take them up again when other countries tried to invade. And then we know what happened next. Pearl Harbor and WWII ... LL>> GWB had plenty of warning by intelligence agencies about the dangers LL>> of terrorists using airplanes as weapons of mass destruction. Yet he AT> Yea but warnings aren't what we need. Such warnings did no good as GWB refused to listen. AT> We need metal detection and armed officers at each and every school. The school in Nashville had a "gun free zone" - and yet a mass shooting still occurred. The only reason more adults and children were not killed was because of the quick action of law enforcement - which killed the shooter dead within seconds of arriving at the school. LL>> Easy access to guns is the problem, and will always remain the problem, LL>> for as long as we choose to do nothing about it. What that means is LL>> people will continue to die, needlessly, because nobody gives a shit LL>> about human life in our sick society. AT> You're 1/2 right. The shooter had two semi-automaticn weapons - both bought legally - which were used to kill six people, three of them children. These weapons are made for one purpose, and one purpose only - to kill people. Now you tell me, what other gun would you like to be shot with? AT> But the real fix involves taking away from of the American taxpayers' AT> hard-earned cash away from Democrats/Zelensky and investing it in school AT> security. Raising the white flag to an indicted fugitive (Putin) is not what this country does, or is all about. Back to the subject at hand - If there is a gun you are comfortable with getting shot with, please show me which one it is. Seems to me all those mass murderers have a particular favorite as to which one(s) they like to use.
