16. So? So what. The entire issue needs to be reframed. And a new SCOTUS to reinterpret.

The NRA is dead. The day is coming for a new court, sooner than later.

And in the next decade, nothing will seem like it did.

People will laugh how such a small minority of bullies and authoritarians with heavy duty guns and bullets made everyone else hostage to their lobby groups.

Like the Gay Marriage issue, which is now inevitable, Guns will be gone, it's inevitable.

People have to register their dogs.
Get over the fear.
Do it.
