I don't think hoping works, as I've been hoping for a repeal of the second amendment for quite some time.
Perhaps thoughts and prayers would be more effective. 🤔

Interesting.  I suppose it is an unfair inconvenience to require a permit to adoringly carry one's idol.

I know it is a rhetorical question, but what is this world coming to?

Even the Senate prayer leader admits it's not enough.

Onslow it is amazing the number of "kids " that you speak of out on the streets with not only having them but using the guns daily. We have thrown away a generation of Children because it's more important for mom & dad to have the life they want and not take the time to raise the Children. Think of the future when they are running the show.
never let a day go by without telling your children how special they are----make a child smile today and gain a friend for life

About half of the states in the US have already eliminated the need for a CC permit. NC currently has about 604,737 CC holders. Take the class once, make a one time payment, and make the permit good for as long as the holder meets the requirements to own a hand gun.

A Southern town embraces its AR-15 factory

In tiny Mayodan, N.C., the Ruger plant is a source of jobs, not controversy — a sign of how conservative areas are welcoming an industry increasingly shunned by liberal states.

Kelly Menard had been working the front counter at the Sunrise gas station here for a few months when she began chatting with the man who stopped in every day a little after 5 p.m.

Menard was making $7.25 an hour, and when she learned that her regular customer worked for the Sturm, Ruger & Co. gun manufacturing plant on the outskirts of town, she asked if they were hiring. She was eager for a better-paying job. Ruger was always looking for people, he said. If she wanted to work, he'd put in a good word.

Menard put in an application and got a call the next day.

THE BLAST EFFECT
This is how bullets from an AR-15 blow the body apart

The scenes of chaos and terror are all too familiar in America.

The AR-15 fires bullets at such a high velocity — often in a barrage of 30 or even 100 in rapid succession — that it can eviscerate multiple people in seconds. A single bullet lands with a shock wave intense enough to blow apart a skull and demolish vital organs. The impact is even more acute on the compact body of a small child.

"It literally can pulverize bones, it can shatter your liver and it can provide this blast effect," said Joseph Sakran, a gunshot survivor who advocates for gun violence prevention and a trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

During surgery on people shot with high-velocity rounds, he said, body tissue "literally just crumbled into your hands."

The carnage is rarely visible to the public. Crime scene photos are considered too gruesome to publish and often kept confidential. News accounts rely on antiseptic descriptions from law enforcement officials and medical examiners who, in some cases, have said remains were so unrecognizable that they could be identified only through DNA samples.

As Sakran put it: "We often sanitize what is happening."

The Washington Post sought to illustrate the force of the AR-15 and reveal its catastrophic effects.

"Ruger was always looking for people, he said."

If they're paying 14 bucks an hour, it ain't no wonder. 😬

I agree 14 bucks isn't a great wage but around here it is a prety good starting wage. It is also double what the person in the story was making - I'm betting if she passed the application process she took the job.
