Re:guns and shootings : In a nutshell, seems to me...

Conservative response: " Let's all carry guns, to protect ourselves!"
Liberals: " let's make it harder for people to get guns"

Ok it is an oversimplification ... however not too far off...

Is it even possible to find common ground? I doubt it.

are afraid to walk out the front door without a gun or two strapped to their bodies. They don't care about the impact on society as long as they can keep/buy a load of guns to fondle when the cold winds blow.

Even if one can't interpret the 2nd Amendment, it's not hard to see the damage guns do to our society. You'd think gun nuts would care about society, but they don't.

Hopefully, we'll bite the bullet like Australia did in 1996.
