...except for guns. That topic is off-limits at all levels of government. The problem is never guns, it is mental health, or drugs, or poverty, and the only solution is more police and more people in prisons.
- paulryanrogers 4mo ago> and the only solution is more police and more people in prisons. The solution is more guns, or so I'm told. If only more people were "packing heat" then surely criminals wouldn't dare to commit crimes. Just disregard the circular firing squads that too often occur when these would-be heroes start overreacting to everything, including each other.
