[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans don't want a little control. The majority of them don't want any control. Sure, they sympathize with the victims, but for most Americans, as long as they're not the ones being shot at or killed, they will defend the constitution and sit back feeling that they are safe, and that they have the right to blow someone's head off if they feel the slightest bit threatened.

Show me any credible poll showing a majority of Americans are fine with the status quo of mass shootings and don't want any gun control.  Every poll I have ever seen says a solid majority DOES want gun control.  Instead we're being fed fabrications, fictions, fantasies as gun lobby propaganda.[/quote]

You're mistaken.  Most people want fewer mass shootings, but there is no agreement around the causes or cures.  Some think firearms "cause" shootings, while other think people operating firearms illegally bear responsibility.  I wonder if the people who think that firearms "cause" mass shootings also think that retail stores and banks "cause" robberies because they have cash on hand?  Do computers "cause" cybercrime, or are they merely instruments used by some criminals as well as by people who are law-abiding?  Shall we "control" all computers, because billions of dollars are lost annually to cybercrime?

Criminals, whether mentally ill, addicted, or just sociopaths, are the problem, not the mechanisms they use to facilitate criminal conduct.[/quote]
