While I understand why you said the things you did, I am not on board more gun control. If the laws we have didn’t prevent this, NOTHING EVER WILL.

The U. S. Constitution is there for a reason. It assures every citizen certain rights, over and above what the government can deny them.

States should not be given the right to supersede the U. S. Constitution.
