Not an American, so this is without prejudice.

Either gun deaths are a fact of life or unacceptable. There is no in-between or grey area. It is hugely frustrating to see these shitstained mavens of policy and law swing wildly between these contradictory extremes. Pick a fucking side.

Man, if only it were the politicians. Much of the public has some excuse for ‘needing’ their firearms. It could be self defense, it could be for fun, it could be to kill cops and government officials when ‘tyranny’ arrives (both sides play this part). Add the NRA to the mix along with a sprinkle of legalized corruption in the form of lobbying and BOOM. Deadlock.
