2. In limbo-- where it's been for years...

Face it-- this is a country where a lot of people were brought up with guns as essential parts of the home. Demanding they give up their guns is like asking suburbanites to give up Costco membership or turn in their iPhones. And as far as "protection" goes, dealing with coyotes and rabid raccoons is more on their minds than rapists or robbers.

Very few of them are nutcases joining extremist groups or shooting up schools and churches. Most that I know hate the nutcases as much as we do, and have no more problem with reasonable regulation than they do with car inspections. This 2nd Amendment bullshit just stirs up the crazies.

So, it took us a long time to get to where we are now, and it will take at least as long to get to gun sanity. Let's just make sure we don't take any steps backward as we go on.

Did countless millions and 600,000 students walk out yesterday as you predicted? If not, exactly... Marengo Mar 2018 #9

I was wrong. It wasn't 600,000 students, it was a 1,000,000 give or take. ffr Mar 2018 #11

i dont see any reference to countless millions in that article, neither is there a source... Marengo Mar 2018 #12

Unusually negative conclusion for something that would be difficult to quantify ffr Mar 2018 #13

Are you claiming youre not wrong on predicting countless millions would walk out? Marengo Mar 2018 #14

Nice Red Herring fallacy, but please address my previous proposition Post #9 ffr Mar 2018 #15

Ummm, you made the claim countless millions would walk out. Where is the evidence this happened? Marengo Mar 2018 #17

Another Red Herring diversion. Address my proposition in #9. ffr Mar 2018 #18

Ah, so no evidence then. Got it. Marengo Mar 2018 #19

I can't move on to address your next question until you've rebutted my 1st. ffr Mar 2018 #21
