The gun nuts are fucking sickos, as they prove in this very thread. Their masculinity is so damn fragile, they'd rather have children slaughtered in mass shootings than have to find a new, less dangerous phallic symbol to empower themselves with. Sickos.
I have to agree. I believe in a citizen's right to gun ownership, but sensible regulation needs to follow. I believe most gun owners are responsible people. It's the nutjobs who have the "pry it from my cold dead hands" mentality that really scares me. It does reek of fear and insecurity.
You need a license to drive a car, cur hair, or open a business in this country. I don't think requiring a license or a background check is really an infringement.
