i will repeat this.

the choice that america has on gun violence is between changing it's gun culture, or accepting it for what it is.

background checks are a reasonable policy that i have no opposition to. but, laws to restrict the sale and distribution of weapons will do absolutely nothing at all, so long as you continue to perpetuate the same gun culture across generations.

and, so long as you insist on maintaining your culture, you'll need to accept this as collateral.
