    I should have specified the news media. I can't imagine American movies WITHOUT guns.

    There really are no simple solutions.

    Many problems arise out of the individual States rights to enact laws vs Federal rights. I always thought it was a national law that a person had to be at least 18 in order to purchase a firearm. I only recently discovered that in the state of Virginia there is no minimum age requirement. I think that's nuts. But anti-gun people would not be happy if the federal government required them to recognize pistol permits from all other states. As it is now, states will recognize some other states pistol permits but not from ALL 50 states. Only those other states with whom they have a reciprocity agreement. As I said, it gets pretty complicated.

      Oh I figured that was what you meant. Haha.

      Yeah, definitely. Nothing is simple. I'm of the inclination to believe that many if not all things can be vastly improved by education and early childhood intervention, but I guess as someone who trained as an early childhood educator, I'm kinda biased...

      I have no doubt there are many anti gun people who think a full ban is the only option. I have to say as an anti gun person myself, that would certainly be my ideal. But obviously, it'll never happen. It's ingrained in American culture. It really SHOULD be easy to find a compromise, but as most people, particularly those in positions of power, are retarded fuckknuckles...well...
