Gun Control & RKBA

(503 posts)but I think ANY is too much.
It is too easy to get guns in our society, too easy to use them, too easy to leave them lying around loaded.
Is this all the NRA's fault? Probably not. I actually voted in the midterms and didn't see anyone carrying at the polling place. I did notice the voters were all old and there weren't many of them.
I don't think I did anything to cause my boss to order 2nd Amendment T-shirts for the store (no mention of militiae on them) or to join the NRA if indeed he did. I find the NRA fearmongering offensive and it scares the hell out of me when some old out-of-shape lady tells me everyone in America is going to have to be armed.
So what's your problem? You don't like it that I shared something from my personal experience? I haven't been engaging in gun debates so I don't know what my proper rhetoric is supposed to be.
I'm wondering where all the other gun control advocates are in this discussion.* From other threads I surmise they've put the RKBAers on ignore. I wonder why.
There's been a decline in traffic deaths too but people still die. We require licensing and safer automobiles and insurance. Most people don't try to kill each other with swimming pools AFAIK.
*ETA: Oh, there's one! Good job he's doing, too. Carry on.
