And it would be nice to do something about that instead of making laws that do nothing but piss off a demographic. I gave you three great alternatives and you still tried to pretend like I said let's kill those kids.

Nah dude. Other nations have long "done sometime" (or if they hadn't, they did immediately after experiencing one shooting) about this problem. I guess those Aussies just don't have the stomach for dead kindergartners... Pussies.

You could not care less about those dead kids, unless you're directly affected. If you did, you'd recognize that their lives are far more valuable than your ability to play dress up and go pew pew. You would actually be interested in a solution rather than keeping things the way they are. Where the number one cause of death among young people is firearms.

No. America will never do anything about it because people like you.

You're not being rid of the second until the political landscape seriously changes. You're not getting the second re-interpreted with all of it's words until SCOTUS flips. These are harm reduction things we can make stick right now.

If you want to refuse that then you're the one sacrificing people. You're just as bad as the NRA.
