Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

      The only way you’re going to get rid of billions of guns is if you have a magic genie or a monkey paw.

      If our country actually cared and was a force of good and peace, we would have a long-term plan for things like buyback as well as strict regulations and MAYBE in a hundred years we would be gun-free for the most part, but the guns are only half the problem.

      The problem is the lack of community and the atomization of our feelings and perspectives. People don’t shoot up schools when they feel loved, connected and unafraid of their future. When people have something to live for, they want to help each other see that future.

      That’s the rotten part, that’s where our country is dying. We drank too deep of the well of “rugged individualism” and now everyone is wandering around like it’s a video game and NPC’s don’t deserve second thought.
