Looking at 30+ cm here. Hopefully classes (all one of them lol) get cancelled tomorrow, but I doubt it because this 5,000 student uni probably has more snow equipment than the entirety of the United Kingdom.
Of course there's no good reason for assault rifles, but it's not about what's right and wrong anymore. It's all about politics.
I really do believe we need to do something about gun violence (more than the government will ever do, at least), but it's now in the hands of the always truthful, trustworthy and kind-heated guys in DC.
Dawedust points out the obvious irony of removing the 2nd amendment. If we ever did it, I bet a few politicians would end up getting shot for it.
As much as we do need to restrict firearm ownership in the US, we have a gun culture (one I will probably join at some point in the future) that simply will not be erased. Honestly, I'd be surprised if anything at all comes of the current legislation push and even then, it'll probably just be smaller clips and maybe (I doubt it) an assault rifle ban for a few more years. Fact is, people with guns tend to selfishly think of their own right and how they can safely operate a gun, but there's that insane minority that make guns a danger to all of us.
