Far enough. And I'd never support a total banning of guns.
Florida’s Teacher of the Year Bluntly Writes WHY School Violence Is Out of Control
- Thread starter Banjo
- Start date
Why should the legislature take up a bill that has no chance of passing?
We have decided this issue of gun bans and need to move on to productive discussions of how to prevent future tragedies. Perhaps regulating violent video games and entertainment? Funny how liberals have no interest whatsoever in that. I'm not in favor of it either, but we can show some correlation between the availability of violence porn and these shootings, while there is no evidence that gun ownership is related to them.
Put another way, what changed in our society? We have always had high rates of gun ownership. Probably the percentage of households with guns is lower now than in the past. Violent video games were not available until fairly recently however. It doesn't take a great leap of imagination to see that constant exposure to first person shooter games could warp some kids.

Freudian slip?
It's worth discussing, if only because the gung-ho pro-gunners believe in all-or-nothing thinking. Perhaps they should try a teaspoon of their own tasty medicine, eh?
Open the negotiation/discussion with no guns, cars or butter knives, and then reluctantly negotiate on the barest of essentials.

There's a reason why the military has graduated from bullseye to silhouette to first person video.

Open the discussion with no guns, cars or butter knives, and then be willing to negotiate in fractions.
Just kidding... stay armed, my friends!
Steve Scalise and the republican party have the kind of education you're referring to, plus a bonus that they've even graduated from high school, unlike the experts you promote.
