#1 What can be done that would be effective has no relation to your tyrannical drivel about "gun control".

What you need, but refuse to admit, is crazy and criminal control.

#2 How many citizens of Pennsylvania died last year due to mistakes at hospitals? How many died on your highway and roads?

Why are you not just as concerned in those cases? Because it doesn't pose a threat to your garnishment of ever more power? [which is exactly why there is a 2d Amendment]

#3 Pittsburgh crime rates

Doesn't look like mass shootings is their biggest problem. Hey, maybe they should pass a law saying the inhabitants can't kill each other! Nah, where is the opportunity for political grandstanding in that?

#4 It isn't about mass shootings.

It is about taking away your ability to resist.

Welcome to Venezuela.

#5 The Tree of Life shooting was done with pistols. Still, I suppose it's silly to ask why ban assault weapons because of that because, well, um, well...because...oh yeah! Common Sense!

#7 The pittsburg shootings show that when seconds count the police will be there in minutes.

#8 "What has stalled in Washington doesn't necessarily mean that we can't make it happen at a local level."

That was the Klans attitude as well for nearly a hundred years. Same goal, steal from people their Constitutional rights.

#11 Common sense gun control comes from a steady hand, a good eye, a clear mind and plenty of practice at the range.

Don't try to control gun ownership by trying to criminalize the law-abiding. Common sense gun legislation is just another disguised attempt at gun control and ultimately gun confiscation.

Instead focus on crime and criminals, terrorism, and false flag operations. Also restore the rule of law instead of the 2-tier system we currently have.
