    Well you keep using scenarios that aren’t congruent with reality. Lamenting “If only it was like this…” doesn’t accomplish anything. Yeah, things are not the way they should be. Let’s work to move it in that direction instead of waiting for some pie-in-the-sky magic pixie dust that will make all the guns instantly disappear.

    If we as a country were really going to ban guns, it would have been done when the Democrats completely controlled the government under Obama. The truth is Democrats have no taste for that either, so they weakly push bills that ban ‘dangerous looking’ guns to pander to their base without effecting real change. Realists like myself would like to see incremental progress instead of pushing for and waiting for the thing to happen that’s never going to happen.

      It’s easy to see the pie in the sky pixie dust is simply remove money from politics. When society is crumbling we will see the end of modern society

      According to you we should do nothing and ‘hope’ for change. Incremental too. Ok yea that’ll happen.

        Well if you think that then you haven’t actually comprehended anything I’ve written, so I guess this conversation has become pointless.
