Hi Kevin,

Haven't been on here that much but it is good to here from you.

A couple of things I think about your response. To start with, drivers that have been drinking alcohol are already illegal probably at least 95% of the time. Unlike legal gun owners that almost always have said guns locked up and safe and if they carry they can't drink alcohol and carry in public.

Also, I think it would be safe to say that somebody that is drunk on alcohol and driving is in no position to save anyone else that is in danger of another drunk driver. Wouldn't you agree? But what makes that different is that a legal concealed carry person in a situation like these mass shootings is in fact in a position to stop it. Wouldn't you want that? These mass killers always have the same MO...they go to where they know that NOBODY will be armed and schools are an excellent soft target to them.

Yes, I agree that we need to find a way to (what you might call common sense gun laws and I do too) root out mental issues when people purchase a gun. However, the signals are already sent that that is only a first step by those that want these things. And that always leads to at first outlawing things some feel are unnecessary and/or dangerous (AKA so called "assault weapons"). Those weren't used in the latest shooting and are used in less than 2% of homicides in America but people think nobody should have one and want them outlawed. Most of or legislators don't understand or know anything about guns other than they are scared of them and they make bullshit laws to rid the country of them.

Hillary mentioned the other day that we should be like Australia and enact their gun laws. Well let me tell you that number one that was almost a complete and total confiscation. Maybe you could have a shotgun there if you can prove a need (and show a lot of paperwork) but otherwise turn them all in. Hillary seems to forget too that Australia does not have a second amendment from their founding fathers. Nevertheless her intentions are clear. She wouldn't stop at "common sense" gun laws. Nearly all democrats have the same idea and it to them is just a step by step process. The long game if you will. All you need to do is look at NYC or Chicago. Their gun violence is through the roof in spite of the the harshest gun laws in the country. Criminals will disregard laws because that is what they do. And by the way, a lot of those Australians that were otherwise law abiding citizens before their new laws came into effect suddenly became felons because they didn't turn those illegal guns in. You just don't know where they put them but they do. It is not a solution.
