Yes, it should be just as scary. What I honestly think is that those
who think more gun laws will fix the problem is that they actually are
NOT interested in fixing the real problem. What they are interested
in doing is increasing the amount of control that they can have over
another group of people. It's really very petty and selfish, but that's
the actual truth.
The real problem is mental health, and the fact that so many are not
able to get treatment for their issues.
Gun contol laws are *PROVEN* to be ineffective, and the so called "red
flag" laws that the same people want were *JUST* proven to be equally as
useless, right there in Highland Park, Illinois. It was a textbook
example case of complete failure.
... Vote Democrat. It's easier than thinking!
