I see no reason to once again rehash gun control. What everyone agrees on is that twice as many whites are shot and killed by Cops than blacks. The shootings in most cop related incidents are warranted/justified. Since there are millions of guns in America and very little shootings in comparison, the only function of gun control debate is to gather more political votes. Anyone with common sense knows that we do not have rampant shooting in America other than in the inner cities, most likely related to drug wars/gang wars. One is not guilty merely because they own firearms, regardless of what some loonies that do not even have a clue as to the definition of an assault weapon insist.
Firearms are NOT dangerous. People are dangerous. I have never owned a gun that has left my home by itself, armed and then fired upon any humans. I do not know of any instances where a firearm went on a mass killing spree.
To me, gun control means:
Sight alignment
Controlled breathing
Squeeze, don't jerk the trigger.
And regardless of what Biden once said, gun safety does NOT include shooting a shotgun up in the air to scare the bad guy away.
