Man that stuff about taking pot head's guns away really got Mick rattled. It's not like it would have ever happened anyway. Republicans have to make up their mind. Is the government awesomely powerful with the ability to seize all law-abiding citizen's guns? Or is it a slow moving dumb imprecise instrument that is inherently wasteful and cannot accomplish anything it tries?
I don't think gun control has any merit until several other things in society change. Until we actually care about the mentally ill in general, we aren't going to care about which one of them has a gun.
Most the negative effects of a gun owning society are here to stay from what I can tell. So no reason to limit the benefits.
I see gun control debate as a way of not talking about the economy. It's the media's way of getting us to turn on each other as the middle and lower classes rather than unite against the D.C. Elite. Russia didn't work, don't let this fake issue work either. Neither side has any intention of changing anything substantial.
