You can talk until the cows come home but we didn't all just fall off the turnip trump. I know about guns, my grandfather and uncle were police officers for decades.
You run your railroad and I will run mine. It is too late to talk about removing guns from those that have them. That ship has sailed. That horse is out of the barn. Now we deal with assessing what is happening because we cannot affix a moral direction into adults who have been raised by someone their parents would not trust with the car keys.

If you'd read my post, it was tongue-in-cheek in response to the person who labeled legal gun owners as fearful. I repeat...put the thugs away and leave the law-abiding, legally gun-owning citizens alone. There has been a concerted effort to remove guns from the law-abiding, as opposed to doing that. So that's my railroad...
