[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's as simple as voting Dems and GOP out.  I think there are Dems who also support NRA and pro gun.  This is not about the right for gun ownership rather the ability and knowledge to use a gun safely.  You'll never be able to magically wipe out (at least not now!) gun ownership - too many out there.  And having spent years fighting the gun lobby, I think it hasn't been energy well spent.  To rid guns from the street is a pipe dream.

BUT we can look at who gets the guns, track them and put a process by which they have to legally follow in order to continue to own them.  I may not be able to take away the right for someone who suggests they have a right to own in this country, but I can make them follow specific processes to try to promote public safety and abilities to use them the wrong way.  There's more than 1 way to skin a cat so to speak :)[/quote]
I’m not sure if you’re responding to me (13:35) but I may not have been clear. We will make no progress, on any aspect of this, as long as the GOP has enough power to block legislation at the state and federal level. They will allow no laws about tracking, public safety, mental health, nothing.

I come from a hunting family. I don’t give a rat’s if people own hunting rifles (but if you invited my kids over, I want to know they’re in a safe). But people who insist on an arsenal of guns that require no aiming, that can tear humans apart and make pink slime of little children’s bodies, that essentially have endless ammo - this is not acceptable. This is not fun. This is unsafe. It is tearing America apart and I believe that’s what the GOP wants. [/quote]

“Require no aiming.”

Don’t know much about firearms, do you?[/quote]
