Sheesh.

You keep trying too convince people that they'll be safer if they stop owning guns (or at least "assault weapons&quot . That if an individual gets rid of their guns, it will somehow stop a mass shooting.

You keep failing, but the right-wingers that become legislators on your failure rack up a body count, too. A big one: for-profit prisons create a large pool of career criminals. Slashes to health care, shuttering Planned Parenthood, abstinence-only education, closing hospitals, severely restricting abortion rights, charter schools, crony capitalism, right-wing educational baked, and prohibitively massive college tuition are the drivers of violence.

Not only will the laws you want passed do very little, you'll make the situation far worse by enabling the opposition!
