The problem with Gun Control is that it is only a "feel good" meaure to help people FEEL Safe. Gun Control actually does not work

The Day Criminals Obey the Law

Take for example what the president is going after. Bump Stocks.
The problem with banning bump stocks is that if someone wanted to make their own "illegal" bump stocks for illegal purposes such as carrying out a mass shooting .. it wouldn't be very difficult to do.
In other words, if a "BAD GUY" were to have the right tools (saws, wood working tools, springs, duct tape, etc.) that bad Guy could just make his own Bump Stock from materials readily available at local stores or online.
Yes duct tape, springs, wood, rubber, etc.
So I say this to remind people that Gun Control laws do not stop criminals from breaking those laws.
Remember: Criminals, by nature, DO NOT OBEY THE LAW!!!
It would be better to educate people on gun safety and reverse the demonizing of guns. After all, a gun cannot be possessed by a Demon and cannot be EVIL, because it is an inanimate object.
People on the other hand, can SNAP, CRACKLE AND POP, go temporarily insane and there are also EVIL people out there in the world.
THE BEST MEASURES TO TAKE IN MHO ARE TO ADDRESS THOSE WHO FEEL MARGINALIZED BY SOCIETY BY REACHING OUT TO THEM.
AND educating people on firearms and arming the populace.
More gun control laws will serve no fruitful purpose and BANNING GUNS is not an option.

Are you aware Russian's (actually Macedonians), using Twitter, and pretending to be Americans, programmed bots to disseminate the same message over the last few days?

You’re right. In a society of laws, we just shoot others for no reason what so ever. Who are you shooting today?

Are you aware that most bots actually were there to further divide Americans on the issue. They used #guncontrolnow, #Parklandshooting, and #gunreformnow to spread their ant-Second Amendment messages.

What is Trump doing to protect America from Russian interference?
Trump says what the Russians are doing is a hoax by the Democratic party because they lost the election. Everyone in his regime though says the opposite. There is no presidential directive on this issue. The U.S. government is schizophrenic on defending American from Russian aggression. With the traitor pee pee tape side being the side that has the power to make Russia pay.

You want the government to monitor and police a private company's platform?

Oh so you're obfuscating and attempting to protect Putin from liability like you do traitor Trump. You seem to be reverting back to denial just like your compromised president.

No, I actually want to know what level of government interference are you acceptable with in platforms like Facebook or Twitter. Because, if it requires a government police force to track those platforms, I'd rather not waste taxpayer dollars monitoring them. Just shut them down if that is the case. It's not a great national loss if people can't tweet or post selfies.
