    What other option do we have? Every piece of reasonable legislation gets hamstringed by the gun lobbyists. There’s no recourse besides flushing the whole industry down the shitter.

    I grew up in the mountains of Colorado actually, want to guess how many bears I’ve had to shoot? Get some bear spray, a bow and arrow, a pellet gun, a paintball gun that shoots pepper balls, firecrackers, a starter pistol, a big fuckin pointy stick, loud speakers, a fire extinguisher, fucking anything besides a goddamn school destroying ar-15. I’m tired of kids dieing from this bullshit. Fuck guns.

      Totally agree on ar15s, you don’t need anything with that capacity for any reason really. I can see an argument for some conservation/wildlife management (ie: boar over population) but really that should fall to government to handle who has access to those kinds of firearms already.
