Every time there is a mass shooting, the Democrats bring up our silly policy regarding guns. The Republicans argue that then is not the right time to talk about guns. Then there is another mass shooting and the ugly truth is that at no time between the two shootings, the Republicans did not find a right time to evaluate our gun policy. I have been hearing Republicans make the same excuse since the early nineties that if you take the guns away from law abiding people, then criminals will have the advantage. Now since the early nineties, gun manufacturers have been allowed to make millions of guns with a lot of them being assault firearms. Had those Republicans made the necessary changes back then, the number of guns in circulation today would have been much smaller. Instead we have a bigger problem with bigger guns today and in another decade, we will have an even bigger problem with even bigger guns. Guns were necessary back then when the settlers needed them to overpower and steal land from the Indians. We don't have any such situation now.
