Laws do work, far less people commit murder when there are laws against murder. Take the guns off the streets, make them harder to get, and gun violence will drop. Compare the US to every civilized country, we have about 100x the amount of gun violence and deaths as any of those places where you can't get guns. And you know who doesn't care about murder laws? Crazy people and people who plan to commit suicide. Each one of those recent publicized attacks in the last year or two has been by one or the other. Prevent them from getting guns and this won't happen. But arm every child in every school? That's insane.

- Restrict the sale of high-capacity magazines so that a shooter can’t kill as many people without reloading.

- Limit gun purchases to one a month, to curb gun traffickers.

- Impose a universal background check for gun buyers, even with private sales.

- Make serial numbers more difficult to erase, and require that new handguns imprint a microstamp on each shell so that it can be traced back to a particular gun.

- Require a 28-day waiting period to buy a handgun, and make gun buyers provide the support of two people vouching for them.

FUCK DAN SAVAGE.

I'm done reading that guy. What a bunch of horseshit dumbfuck'n stupidness this man is. All respect is gone.

You know what's super ironic about this whole thing, if the Bushmaster caption simply read "One way to end the oppression of gays" - perhaps a Pink Pistols slogan, Savage would be totally be down. Conversely, if the Bushmaster advertisement featured a black man holding the rifle with the slogan “One way to end the oppression” that Savage would find the ad tasteless. What a myopic shithead. At least I now know why Savage supported Obama so much: Savage will adapt to totalitarian policies and authority as long as his rights are respected, and damn everyone else. White male problems.

-Spindles, I feel like I owe you a beer. Shit.
