I never have, admittedly, but considering how many guns are sold the possibility isn't so statistically unlikely, certainly no more so than the idea that the kind of half-assed gun control being debated is actually going to save any lives. I think what most sticks in my craw about this is seeing a bunch of elite shitheads who have personal security details sitting around and talking about what the plebes should be allowed to do, and predictably, every awful aberration is a new excuse to allow us stupid clods less and less leeway. Bad enough when it's a police state-loving twat like that loathsome Peter King who has proposed that every member of Congress be surrounded by a mobile field that negates all constitutional rights within its 100' radius, but it's especially vomit-provoking when it comes from the Democrats, who always claim to be the party of the little guy but don't seem to understand that the little guy can't afford to hire armed manservants to watch over him 24/7. |
Yeah, I agree, that is problematic, and hypocritical.
There is definitely room for improvement on all fronts. Electing the right people is a start, but lobbying is up there too. Lobbying is the basis for nearly all the faults of law enforcement.
