    Oh sure straight coast vs inland no contest until we cut off you moochers from all that sweet sweet water supply... oh wait I'm a coastal elite too shit. But I'm talking more like parts of coast vs rest. It's kind funny how fast quickly things change getting away from the mega cities even staying on the coast.

    That said there is always the possibility of option 3 where we just say fuck it and go on our own. Borrowing from Revolution shall call it the the California Commonwealth and take the whole coast... and get Baja too since it already has California in the name

    WI, MN, the UP, and parts of illinois, iowa, and the dakotas will become The North. We shall name Prince our eternal King in the North and elect a Warden of the North.

    I am fine with this plan.

    Can I nominate Muddy Waters as the Duke of Chicago?

    Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was even more adamant about the effort.

    “I don’t think we ought to punish 80 to 90 million gun owners who have a right to own a weapon under the Constitution because of the act of one idiot,” he said. “Just like I don’t think we ought to condemn all Muslims because of the act of one jihadist.”

    I'm also ok with banning white people like they banned Muslims.

    WTF/LOL @ some Republicans not wanting to ban Bump Stocks.

    "Why ban something because of one person?"

    What sucks is they're gonna ban bump stocks and suddenly people are gonna be like "see! The Republican Congress cares about gun safety and are the only ones to ever reform it".

    because even though one can procure two or three dozen weapons and plentiful accompanying ammunition, it's those damn bump stocks that might make it dangerous out there

    A prior ban on bump stocks would have significantly reduced the carnage that happened in Vegas. We're basically trying to invent the wheel here when it comes to gun control legislation that is palatable to a country that takes up 2/3s of a well populated major continent. Your post is basically bitching that we're not immediately jumping straight to Hyper Loops like the coastal clinging Aussies have.

    So, yeah. Dealing with the bump stocks is the more immediate issue here. Especially when other non-gun related issues are to blame for our comparatively massive death counts per year.

    Okay. And a ban on rifles long ago would've curbed mass shooting stats a bit. Meanwhile it wouldn't address handguns that do most of the killing.

    it certainly isn't easy; i doubt we can do anything truly significant right now. i just don't claim or think a knee-jerk, hindsight 20/20 ban on a single accessory ultimately means we've actually passed meaningful legislation

    bump stock ban is like tracking pressure cooker sales here

    mass shootings aren't a large portion of gun deaths, and gun deaths aren't a large portion of deaths as you say. touting any bump stock legislation as significant or an immediate issue is ridiculous. a fricking sugar tax might save more lives than mass shootings claim (although likely not more lives than gun deaths)
