text: I've never mentioned God or religion, probably because I have stepped foot in a church in over 30 years. I'm not a member of the NRA either. You do know that semi-automatic rifles and pistols (including those with high capacity magazines) have been easily accessible for nearly 100 years in this country. Fully automatic rifles and submachine guns were not only accessible but were able to be purchased without any registration or back ground check until the mid 1930's. They were advertised and marketed to Ranchers for their ease and ability to shoot a running coyote. I could go on with many more examples of how much easier and readily accessible guns were up to 30-40 years ago but my point is that guns haven't changed, gun laws are much more restrictive now than ever and yet these mass shootings are on the rise. I.E. it's not a gun issue!
