the root cause of all this gun violence in the usa

is we have a very unhealthy obsession with guns in this country, especially military style assault weapons.



if you notice. almost all of these mass shootings take place in areas with low gun regulation or neigbor a state with low gun regulation.



this obsession with guns in this country are beginning to border on clinical insanity and is being prodded and fueled by right wing (a small few on the left as well) politicians, talk show hosts and pundits.



i keep telling conservatives that reasonable gun regulation is not the mass confiscation of your firearms. obama gestpo is not going to kick in your door and confiscate your legally purchased firearms.



it is simply making sure that legal gun owners can obtain reasonable firearms for hunting and sport and reasonable amounts of ammunition while working to prevent the criminal element, those on terrorist watch lists and the mentally unhinged from obtaining weapons and large amounts of ammunition.



we also need to retrain our law enforcement to go for the gun last not first. exhaust all other means before using lethal force.



I also don't justify shooting law enforcement. i am sick and tired of tunring on the news and seeing more and more unjustified shootings of not only citizens but law enforcement personnel.
