Since the National Guard has refused to station themselves outside of military recruitment centers after the shooting in Chattanooga last month, some people have decided to set up volunteer militias (Second Amendment rights and all that) to do that job. They say "it's their duty," and unfortunately it's becoming more common.

 

Of course, this sort of behavior's more because they want to be toting around assault rifles in public. Read this article, and you'll see why this is a Bad Idea™.

 

(Can anyone else tell I'm in favor of gun restrictions?)

I could rave for ages about gun laws and how the USA is blinded by an outdated constitution and clearly isn't thinking logically about the effects of guns but this is a Yugioh forum and I can't be bothered. 

 

interesting to see that there hasn't been public outrage at the Muslim-free shop like there has been about cakes for gay weddings, though.

It's days like these I'm glad I live in Canada.

This is an opinion shared by many Americans.

 

The issue is that the people who want guns shout louder.

There's also the problem is that the anti-gun lobby doesn't have as large or prolific a body as the NRA does. Until that changes - which I doubt it ever will - it will be nigh-impossible for things to improve.

 

And we'll have to deal with absurd statistics like the 225 mass shootings in 2015 to date.
