But I’m one of those guys that gets up every morning, goes to work, takes care of his family, wears a red hat and has a locked closet full of guns and ammo. I must be a huge problem to the world. There were plenty of guns around in the 50’s and 60’s but we didn’t have this problem.

That's because you're a stable, well adjusted, mature and law-abiding citizen. But there are too many people out there who are living on the fringes of reality - angry, bitter, frustrated, often delusional, armed to the teeth with military weaponry, fueled by the propaganda of Trump, the NRA, social media, Fox and Newsmax, and extreme white-supremacist chat rooms; people who think it would be just swell to overthrow the government and slaughter little kids in classrooms.

The question is (and always has been): how do you allow responsible people like you to keep your guns and yet pass legislation to keep AR-15s away from the lunatics? Or do we just shrug our collective shoulders, figure there's nothing that can be done as the mountains of bodies pile up, and go back to watching Dancing with the Stars, knowing - and not much caring - that there will be another mass shooting coming along shortly?
