Why are folks more concerned about guns than the loss of lives!

40. Wow. Did you read my entire post? Because I don't think you did.

If you did, you surely didn't address it:

I support the banning of "private transfers commercial or otherwise" and would subject each and EVERY transfer of a gun to a background check. I support size limitations on magazines. I support a law requiring the safe storage of guns AND ammo, including biometric locks. I support subjecting anyone who violates the private sale ban to the same punishment a criminal faces if their gun winds up in criminal hands and criminal acts are committed with it. I support including stolen weapons that are not reported in the previous sentence.

Are those tighter controls not even on your radar? Do you want more? Those are my starting points; not necessarily as far as I'm willing to go.

And you know what? I don't really care what you think about my "bona fides". I've been here a minute. My transparency page shows no hidden posts. Fuck the 40 people who ignore me and fear I might send them emails. I've not sent 20 emails in my eight years here, and I have ZERO people on ignore. So you can pretty much call me what you want, or question my motivations. I don't care. I've been called and accused of worse than you did in your post. Hell... there's a Democrat from Cali who posted that in being the first to step up and call the 2012 election for Barack Obama I was merely covering my ass.

So go ahead and dream of seeing gun owners like me jumping up and down on the dock screaming for you to come back and pick us up. Go ahead and ignore our statements about where in the middle we're willing to meet you. Talk right past us as if we haven't said a word... End EVERY post with the statement that gun owners practice racism, sexism, homophobia, and hate as one of your friends does in their sig line. In the short term, I don't think that works out in ANYONE'S favor.
