[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1346105, member: 14668"] The answer to our problems is spiritual not legal. Simply writing more laws isn't going to prevent someone like Adam Lanza from spending years fantasizing, premeditating and then carrying out mass murder. People like Adam Lanza don't care about laws and they have no intention of obeying them in the first place. We have a bad habit as a society of reacting emotionally rather than pragmatically to tragedies. We want to [I]do [/I]something. We want to [I]feel [/I]like we are taking steps to solve our problem. The easy way out is to just write a new law or two and go ahead and ban something that we don't know or care much about. Lets just ban those hi-cap magazine thingies, or maybe those scary-looking guns that some politician calls "assault weapons". It wont accomplish anything, but by golly it will make us [I]feel [/I]better. As far as "gun owners blocking all solutions" goes...when the "solutions" are being trotted out are little more than cleverly designed attempts to set the stage for the virtual elimination of our rights then you are damn right I'm going to block them. I have no intention of negotiating for MY rights with the Michael Bloombergs and the Diane Feinsteins of the world. Want me to start negotiating? Then your side needs to shut these hypocrites up, disown them, and acknowledge the fact that armed self-defense is a[B] fundamental human right. [/B] [/QUOTE]
