39. Your continued ignorance of reality isn't going to make it go away.

"Society" has not decided.

Yes. Society has decided. In each and every jurisdiction in America, if one calls and reports an armed individual shooting where/what they ought not to be, the default response, the societally approved response, is to send PEOPLE WITH GUNS to deal with it. Its been going on like that since before you were a born.

Thats reality. You can ignore it all you like, and while that just makes you ignorant, reality keeps right on being reality in spite of your fevered desperate insistence otherwise. Its pathetic, but not surprising. Or original.

The NRA has convinced enough people, and bribed, or donated if you prefer, enough politicians that gun legislation is nearly impossible.

Maybe it will help if you stomp your feet and raise your voice. It wont effect reality, but it might make you feel better in your own little world. And if theres any truth about 'convincing' anyone, the part you neglected to mention, is that you gun control folks can't seem to convince anyone of anything. That speaks to the legitimacy and credibility of the messengers, their methodology, and their message. Don't blame the nra if your position can't compete with theirs. That's on you and your position, not on the nra.

Except of course for legislation to expand gun ownership even further from the original intent of the Founders.

I doubt very much that you have even a clue of the original intent of the founders, and doubt even more that you'd admit to it if you were forced to learn it.
