Beats the hell out of me, but things are out of control. Local County Fair next week in Virginia. Wife told me she didn't want to go because she was afraid some nut with an Assault Rifle might shoot the place up because its a soft target. The fear is real folks.
PS. I had my niece who did home schooling after Newtown. This is Virginia, not exactly a liberal state for sure. Folks are damn well concerned.

The red flag laws will be front and center in many divorce cases. Just like the false use of protective orders.

Things are out of control because your wife and a niece are afraid? Who else, pray tell, is afraid? Lets be honest, for just a moment. Your wife and niece werent afraid the previous week, when 59 people were gunned down in Chicago, but, they are now? Rationally speaking, if you withhold the firearms deaths from Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, and St. Louis, the good old US of A falls to near the bottom of the list for gun violence. Why is that? Your wife and niece are FAR more likely to be killed in a car wreak featuring a canabis addled 17 year old girl on a cell phone. Are they afraid of that? They should be. Best, Ted

Well said, Ted.
As for me, I will not live in fear. I will go heeled, as I did earlier this evening as wife and I had supper out, and then bought groceries at the local Walmart. I will carry at church each Sunday, because I am a deacon in my church and feel very strongly it is my responsibility to protect the worshipers who come there in innocence, and cannot protect themselves. I am willing to become the target in an active shooter situation like that to protect the lives of the innocents. I will support the NRA, because without them we are toast. I will put my 2nd Amendment rights and the rights of the unborn and elderly at the top of my priorities when I decide how to cast my votes. And, I will never stop preaching it to my sons and grandchildren, as long as God gives me breath.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Best,
Ted Yeah but on the bright side we have 18 Stanley Cups between us. King, I have a bunch of Canadians over for dinner all the time and try to get a good political discussion going but all they want to talk about is.... __________________________ Marner! Marner!

Not so curiously, the susceptibility to talking points is a big blue corporate trickle down entitlement.

as for trump and gun control...it is likely that he will veto any gun control legislation presented to him by congress before the election, justifiably claiming that said legislation is a violation of the second amendment...plus, the result of signing such legislation would cost him more votes than it would gain...
however, as we get closer to the election and if trump perceives the need for more votes, he may "do something", re gun control, via executive order, in an effort to pander for votes...after the election he can always rethink and resend his executive order or engineer a supreme court decision, that would declare his gun control executive order to be unconstitutional...
