I am still waiting for someone to explain the American obsession with guns. I grew up in Canada, and not for a single second did I ever feel that my rights were being "infringed" because it was harder for me to get a gun.
I have watched this slow motion riot of gun violence for decades and like all cancers, this tumor is making everyone sick. Gun violence is directly affecting more and more Americans who for two generations have been indoctrinated by false platitudes: guns don't kill people.... Well the chickens have come home to roost. The only way that the madness of gun violence is going to end is when every American has a 5-year-old daughter, or a 70-year-old grandmother killed or wounded by a gun. How long until we are there? (I guess we could do the math: 113,000 Americans shot in annually divided into...).
The quest for PAC money, the 1% and the Republican Party. Three things that suck as we head for the 2020 election cycle. MAGAT's love to pull the second amendment draw card. It is frustrating and tiresome. I doubt as the Repubs weasel we will ever get Universal background checks. After all, we can just loan our guns to a friend...

Trust me, Ian, a huge number of US citizens (a majority, I suspect) feel exactly as you do.
