    Fair enough. Get the tom toms out and start a War Dance. DO SOMETHING.

    Then you haven't really looked in to it. Those of us on the Left who support the 2A believe in root cause mitigation. That is a concept that is alien to conservatives because it involves mental health screening, poverty mitigation, and ending the War On Drugs. Will that prevent every shooting? No. But it would severely curtail them.

    They're not doing anything. Nobody came and shot up Walmart because they sell .223 ammo. And it's nothing because I can go to another retailer and buy it. Not only are they not doing anything they can't do anything.

    Are you kidding? Those of us on the right have been constantly telling you, it's not the gun but the nutball shooters.

    They did do something. They forced you to buy elsewhere. One day, there might be no elsewhere. :)

    And yet, you continually refuse to fund mental health initiatives that could potentially reduce mass shootings. You can't admit that it is a mental health issue, then refuse to fund mental health issues.

    What is the latest one Republicans refused to fund and what bill are Democrats currently pushing to address that issue?

    Red Henning: Making a dumb business choice for political posturing.

    Phrase coined after Sarah Huckabee and family kicked out of a restaurant in Virginia (Place was called the Red Hen and it was not a good choice)

    Do you realize how easy guns are to make? Bullet molds can cast bullets, powders are not that hard to make, etc

    You've admitted that it is, partly, a mental health issue. Is anything stopping Republicans from introducing their own mental health initiatives to stop these types of shootings?

    I think what he's saying is that one day humans will evolve past the need to kill each other. That's the only thing he could possibly be saying. Because there's always a black market anywhere where things are bad there is a black market for those things.

    That's a great big dodge. My state recently installed red flag laws, under (R) Ron Desantis.
    Can you answer my questions?

    The Huckabee who failed dismally in a stupid attempt to defend the bizarre 'alternative facts' crap, that Sarah Huckabee?

    Initiatives won't do anything. what you would have to do to know if someone's going to go on a rampage and kill a bunch of people is you would have to be psychic. Or you would have to repeal liberty. The former is not possible because psychics don't exist. In the latter will result in a far greater death toll.

    Ah, a utopian fantasy where we all sing Kumbaya. As long as there are criminals, their will be killings, in defense or retribution.

    Sure, but if that day ever comes, you'll be doing so illegally. You a Member of the NRA or some Bikie Gang?

    Okay. We'll see. It will be in my life time I reckon. 290 gun massacres YTD 2019, so one day the penny will drop.

    It'll only happen if people like you and me die. So this Utopia depends on violence.

    One day of Penny will drop and all the guns in the world will magically vanish in your lifetime.

    The word pipe dream is not strong enough.
