3. I'll add that as a victim of an armed robbery I find this legislation utterly fucking stupid !!!!!!

Our legislators are doing NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. They're only caving to the gun lobby and NRA and sponsoring legislation which will sell more guns and ammo. When I was robbed, yeah, I was plenty pissed off about it, but I was unharmed. If I'd have had a gun I'd more than likely wound up getting shot.

There is zero evidence to support these right wing talking points that more people with guns somehow equates to less crime or fewer causalities in a public shooting. It takes constant intensive training to know what to do in an armed confrontation, all these Rambo wanna-bees think in their feeble little minds that they could take down a criminal but the sad reality is that they'd only make matters worse.
