As we have seen crazed young men, bent on murder will find a way. How about the truck in New York? Like a typical progressive you blame an inanimate object. Yearning for the good ole days does not accomplish anything for victims of death by AR-15 or death by 38 Special. What's your point? Can't make talking points out of the far more prevalent murder rate in the inner city can you? If you outlaw semi-automatics do you honestly believe criminals won't get them? If not, will they get on the inter-net and learn how to build a bomb? Molotov cocktails are simple to make. Punishing law abiding citizens by turning them into criminals with a stroke of a pen would be the progressive way but not solve anything.

Why I believe we have more mass shootings than previously. When I grew up in the 60's and 70's we had much more access to guns than today. Hell guys had em in the back windows of their pickup truck that they parked in the school parking lot. We had more access to guns yet less of these mass shootings. Inner cities weren't a shooting gallery. There was no security at schools or churches. What happened? It's the culture. We have become more desensitized to violence. It's everywhere. 24/7 on T.V.. Video games that make killing fun. Social Media bullying. Take a kid and drive him practically insane on the internet until he believes he has no choice. The use of anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs. Starting at an ever younger and younger age. Instant celebrity. Knowing you are an immediate media sensation if you pull off a horrendous act. We have a larger minority of blacks than most countries. A race that for whatever reason has a much higher percentage of it's young men involved in violent crime. (Why I don't know. I imagine that's a whole different topic). One reason for sure; PROGRESSIVE POLICIES. These policies have replaced the father of many households with tax payer funded benefits. Might supply some sustenance but not much direction. The progressive war on poverty has given us ever more government housing slums where hope is quenched. Progressives have given us a failing school system where teacher's unions an important Democrat voting block is more important than a child's education. Progressive politics have given people the attitude that nothing is their fault. Everyone should have equal results no matter the effort put in individually. When life slaps them upside the head they become unhinged. Worst of all progressive policies are giving us an ever more secular society. In my childhood we did those awful things in school like say the Pledge. Even prayer. Progressive policies want to remove all vestiges of God, morality, and patriotism. So progressives, now that your policies have created the problem you want those of us who don't see things your way to give up our legally owned guns. Ain't gonna happen.
