I believe there's a word for people who think they need pseudo assault
rifles, and multiple large capacity magazines, to "protect
their families".

…however I really do wish it wasn't such bullsh*t as to not even be worth listening to.

Until you come up with a better and more life-saving response to homicidal maniacs running wild than more guns to stop them, I would suggest that you believe a fantasy utopia of "no murders" can exist, and thus have no contact with the real world. Somebody is in denial, but it isn't your "gun crazies"…You're just projecting.

Whether severe restrictions on gun ownership would save a thousand lives, or merely a handful now and then, really isn’t the point. The more important question is what kind of country do we want to be? Will we insist on remaining among the most heavily armed nations on Earth — and one of the most deadly, as if those things were merely coincidental — or will we seek to create a culture of non-violence, in which manhood is not defined beginning at an early age, as being related to fighting, hunting, shooting things for fun, and generally being physically tough?

Bottom line: there is something wrong with a society in which so many people want and even seem to need guns, like some kind of psychological crutch; a society in which millions pay good money to watch two men get in a cage and beat the **** out of each other, and think to call that sickness a sport, or even worse, an art form.

Whether or not gun control can really work as advertised, guns, sadly, work exactly as promised. They serve only one function, and it is that purpose for which they were made: to kill, either an animal (usually for fun), or another person.

To think that we would want more killing machines in the hands of a people who are so quick to resort to violence at the drop of a hat — to avenge global, or local “disrespect” by some foe, real or imagined, or to resolve otherwise minor squabbles — seems the stuff of true insanity.

In short, while guns alone don’t kill people, it is rather apparent that Americans do, and mostly with guns. And until we address the cultural sickness that lay at the heart of our national identity, it is quite clear that we are a people unworthy of access to such instruments of death as these.

Perhaps somewhere there are people mature enough to handle guns responsibly. We have proven, over and again, and with the blood of our children, that we are not that people.

Lets be clear, Walmart has no such policy and Walmart did nothing as Walmart is a company comprised of people who are responsible for their own actions when not prompted by policy or ordered to do so.

To add even more!

More than 1 million concealed carry permits have been issued in the state of Florida. Total population ~14 million. 1 in 14 people have the ability to carry a firearm, and less than 2% of the 1 million permits have been revoked.

Conclusion, the VAST majority of gun owners ARE responsible and SHOULD be the role model you look too . . .

I am just curious if you can grow up for even a second?

Criminals are NOT stupid, most burglaries occur when no one is home.

I swear it is odd to constantly have to explain the obvious.

Why would we assume that when it has not been true of any other technology?

I am not against such tech, mandating it is a mistake.
