I noticed something interesting when President Biden was [View all]

asked about gun control. He said he "the idea … we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It’s just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”

He still uses the term "assault weapon" but the subtle shift in language gives me hope that we will get past the silly assed idea that we can somehow define 'assault weapon' in a way that gunners can't find a workaround.

We must stop fucking around trying to pacify the gunners and just get rid of semi automatic weapons of all kinds that accept removeable magazines. Long guns, short guns restrict them ALL.

Collect all the gunner tears, bring to a boil, steep a teabag for 3-4 minutes and enjoy the peace and quiet of a country without a mass shooting twice a day.
