Tell her 60 years ago you could order one from a magazine or catalog and it would ship directly to your home.

Back then we had mental hospitals fully staffed and society was still very Christian Principled with respect for life.

It was a different country.

We need morality again.
It’s not an issue about what is accessible to people.
It’s an issue about what people do with what they have.

An icicle through the eye kills just like a bullet.
Should we ban icicles?

Liberals love strawman arguments regarding the 2nd Amendment.

“Back then we had mental hospitals fully staffed and society was still very Christian Principled with respect for life.”

In a few cases, staff could earn extra money pimping out female patients. Prior to the 1960s, mental hospitals had a reputation for being cruel and inhumane.

“The most damning indictment of the failures of Byberry and similar institutions appeared in the work of pioneering journalist and reformer Albert Q. Deutsch in his 1948 book, The Shame of the States.”

Also from the DCM (Director of Civilian Marksmanship) and the Army would ship you one. (I got an M1 Carbine for $20.00.)

60 years ago public high schools in Baltimore city had pistol teams. 50 years ago, suburban high school students could leave their gun on the gun rack in the back of their pickups in the school parking lot. It’s not the guns.
