If you look, I was responding to a post. In context of the post I was responding to, my post makes perfect sense.
Although I also agree with your post concerning firearms transported across city/state lines.

Guess that's the same reason gangs don't shoot each other, oh wait a minute..............
That makes sense. And it's a good thing for people to protect each other. Commonsense laws addressing gun violence in our country should only help, not hurt these situations, making sure those who have guns have them legally and are prepared to use them properly. I keep seeing posts by people who act like if any law is passed then they have lost all their guns immediately. I don't want that and I don't know of anyone who does want that.

Teresa-
The problem some have is,
Every time there is a shooting like recently in Orlando...
The media and many politicians go to the knee jerk "we must have gun laws reform". "These "asssult" weapons must be banned". None of which would stop a mad man on his Jihad, (be it his personal, political, religious, or whatever evil he possesses).
Meanwhile, Americans are being gunned down across the nation each week. And the same blowhards are MIA.
The selective outrage and political opportunism gets tiresome.

Here's a chance to see beyond the politics. Pay attention to the people who work every day to reduce gun violence.

Appears a worthy organization. But to insinuate there is not a political component would be disingenuous.

There are plenty of people who could fend off your Louisville slugger with their bare hands. Not likely they could do that against an AR-15.

Excellent point.
No condolences however to those who are not of the plenty.

All I'm saying is there's no comparison. I can run from the bat wielder, and even if I can't, the crowd might be able to take him down. The same goes for the knife wielder. It's a terrible way to go if they do get a hold of you, but they are not good tools for mass killing.
