Shooting in Las Vegas

[catswiththum]

I am reasonably sure the writers/thinkers responsible for the 2nd amendment never envisioned a future populated by growing numbers of nutcases with easy access to weapons of destruction unimaginable 100 years ago.

Federal legislation needs to make it at least as difficult to own a weapon as it is to obtain a driver's license. Registration is absolutely necessary and it is idiotic to think otherwise.

Plenty of responsible gun owners won't mind - a growing number of nitwits will. (usually with something to hide and unwilling to be in the system).

The above is all well and good, but will do nothing about the hundreds of thousands of firearms out there already in the hands of nutjobs, wannabe kid gangsters, doomsday preppers, and other garden variety malcontents.

We've had this conversation a hundred times - so has Congress. Here we sit.
Tread carefully, buy armor.

Cheers,

Your local conservative.
