Re: I want to keep my guns.

I will not agree with giving up any more ground to the antis. Name one concession they have given to us? When have they ever given us something in return? What gun right has ever been given back to us by the Democrats once it was taken away?
Bump stocks are stupid, and a waste of perfectly good ammo, but you know what? I don't want them banned. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for them to be banned. They've existed for years, and just now they need to be banned because some evil man used one for evil? I'm sick and tired of extreme outliers being used to justify taking something away from law abiding citizens.
You want the hard truth? You want to know what actually needs to be done? You ready for it?
NOTHING.
The system is working. Hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses a year. Rising gun ownership and declining gun violence. The areas with the strictest gun laws experiencing the highest crime rates. It all shows that our ideas on how things should be done are correct. Dead school kids do not justify taking action against millions of people who abide by the law. I know that's harsh, but it's just the way it is. How many people would be dead right now had they not been able to defend themselves or their loved ones with a gun? You really want that alternative? There is no perfect system. There is no way to stop evil from doing violence against the innocent. You can only combat evil, and you need guns to do that.
People die every day from causes that could have been prevented with enough loss of liberty and excessive cost. It sucks, but the only appropriate reaction is to protect your loved ones as best you can and tell as many people about Jesus as you can, because none of us is guaranteed tomorrow.
The only action I could get behind is, again, one that is already being done in conservative areas. Allow school employees who are otherwise legal to do so carry while at work. If schools aren't gun free zones, they won't get shot up nearly as much, and the damage won't be as great.
Just remember, the "rising tide of gun violence" is a total lie. Gun violence is going down. School shootings are not on the rise. Opportunistic gun-grabbing Democrats are just using tragedy as a excuse to try to take our rights away by capitalizing on reactionary public feelings.
Sorry for the rant, but if I have to listen to one more liberal say I need to give up my ability to defend myself and my loved ones against evil just because evil exists in the world, I am going to scream.
