I miss you guys too. I'm finding it hard to fit Videosift into my life anymore.

That said, I used to use this place as an outlet for me to rant about things I can't really discuss with people IRL.

I may end up starting a blog of my own, that way I won't have to find a video to use as a starting point for saying something I've been dying to get off my chest.

Usually no one reads comments this far down, but I'd like for the pro-gun people to weigh in on these six specific policies, and see if maybe they still sound like reasonable policies to you guys. (Borrowing entirely from here)

1. Ban people on the terrorist watch list from legally buying guns.
   
2. Require background checks on every gun sale.
   
3. Ratify the UN Arms Treaty to tamp down on gun trafficking from the U.S. to Mexico.
   
4. Allow the public to access the FBI's database of guns used in Federal crimes.
   
5. Ban guns in bars.
   
6. Allow any business to legally bar people from bringing in firearms.
   

And conservatives are incapable of recognizing that that's a delusional fantasy completely unmoored from the reality we actually inhabit.

Lax gun regulation just leads to more dead people, not to some utopia where only people who deserve death wind up shot.

We ain't ever going to have a society of "high moral standard" as long as we let evil people like yourself bully us into inaction. It's very, very easy for us to save a lot of lives by implementing sensible gun regulation.

You can be a moral person too, all you have to do is turn off your Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, and return to the human race.

I'll add the caveat that if this "change everything" attitude means he's now going to be calling for censoring movies, TV, and videogames, he's still part of the problem, but it's good to hear him wake up and realize it's time to try doing something different.
