Re: NRA Newtown response
Yes it can. I'm not even for de-gunning ourselves down to Japan's rate of ownership but we can't even TALK about who should and shouldn't have access to guns or what kind of guns should be sold to the public or not. Hunter rifles of bolt action, pump action shotguns... of course I think these are hunting tools and such. Can we even talk about anything at all?
Semi-automatics and fully automatic weapons?
Background checks?
Age to purchase?
Gun show loopholes?
Felons of violent backgrounds?
Mental background checks?
Nothing. Not allowed to talk about anything. You try to talk and you get a wonderfully ridiculous Fenton-like post (from page 1 of this thread) thrown at you and it's conversation over.
2006 Japan had 2 gun homicides. This also indicates that it is quite possible gun control can work.
