Went to an organizational meeting for a new chapter of MDA today.

[flamin lib]

6. I should know better and nothing I say here will make the slightest dent in the

craniums of the regulars, but:

There is nothing anywhere in any of the anti violence organization's literature about confiscation. To claim otherwise is pure NRA gun nuttery. Restrictions that might reduce the amount of violence, yes, but confiscation no.

Straw purchasing is almost impossible to convict. The buyer just says they lost the gun or it was stolen and it's he said he said. Regulations like mandatory reporting of stolen guns and limits on guns/month make straw purchasing and trafficking much more difficult. Care to support either of those?

As for Lanza and Sandy Hook, I'll willingly give you the 20 children slaughtered there if the likes of Dylann Roof could be taken out of the gun culture. No one law will prevent all gun violence just as no speed limit sign will prevent speeding but I like traffic laws because my commute to work is exciting enough as is.

Why won't MDA debate Lott? Why the fuck did I post here thinking that there might be some reasonable response to people trying to reduce gun violence?

Clearly it was a mistake on my part.
