It seems to me that the public discussion on #firearm control would better be served if govts released the documents or transcripts of meetings and the information they have gathered to help them come to their decisions — there’s something going on, otherwise all States would come out with the same data that would inform pretty uniform decisions nationally. Instead we, yet again, have different #gunlaws in different jurisdictions. Oh…and guess what, the #NationalFirearmsRegistry Howard legislated for, well we’re still waiting for that and likely to wait a long while yet, if we ever get one.

So, either govts did not consult widely nor gathered the facts and acted on politcal gut feel, or there’s power (aka money) behind the decisions and nothing to do with keeping guns out of the hands of #Crims and #NutCases.

Yeah, I give people a chance on Mastodon (the ones who are obvious nutcases) so I usually follow back. It's good to mix up your timeline a bit.

However, I should try to be less obscure with some of my posts. Every now and then I attract some conspiracy type or right whinger or something.

I do like discussing conspiracy ideas. That doesn't mean I endorse them.

But it's OK really. Once I realise my mistake I just block them.

Still it feels like a loss.
