    You're right, people are smart enough to know something is wrong, but they're not educated enough on the subject to make a decision on how to fix it.

    Similarly, we can see something is wrong with our government when nobody wants Net Neutrality to end, but the FCC just does it anyway. So what do people do? They write letters that fall on deaf ears. They march in the streets. What does that accomplish? Nothing.

    Recognizing that there is a problem is important, but understanding how to actually fix the problem requires knowledge and action in the right direction. Blindly calling for change doesn't fix anything. Look where that got us? We have arguably the worst President in the history of our country because people were blindly calling for change, any change, and he fed them what they wanted to hear. How is that "change" working out for us?

    Hopefully you then did some research and discovered that it isn't even remotely the same thing.

    This seems kind of drastic when the legal age to enter the military is 18. So we can trust an 18 year old with a tank.... or a grenade launcher.... but not a hunting rifle.

    I think the tank and grenade launchers are used with training and adult supervision.

    And why do they call them Mass shooters when none of the shootings have involved a Catholic church?

    No it's just the one, because the other would require an Amendment to negate the 2nd Amendment.

    That's how America works.

    Learn basic Constitutional Law, then post.

    It's exactly the same, and so is the reason.

    Take off the tinfoil hat Maris. Don't you know tinfoil is a major source of deadly fluoride?

    Actually, the people who voted for him are of the collective opinion that the change is working out even faster and better than expected. Now that his DOJ has smoked out the Russian-DNC collusion and Obama's deep state election rigging, we know most of this anti-Trump hype was just pot-stirring by foreign and domestic socialists attempting regime change.

    Real Americans are stepping up for Phase 2.

    The Dem's old guard is finished and their young upstarts are all socialists. Ginsberg won't last 3 more years with her senility leading her to continual public rants displaying her unsuitability for her position in SCOTUS.

    Looks like we'll get 2 terms worth of Trump Constitutional Restoration before his 1st term is completed.

    It's called naivete', gullibility, or blind obedience.

    It's the opposite of understanding.

    Your interpretation of the effect of bump stocks shows you don't understand bump stocks at all.

    and still somehow, I really don't know bump stocks, at all

    Yeah, those 2 things are exactly the same...

    For your continued education, bump stocks merely attempt to replicate a basic manual operation of a semi-automatic firing mechanism.

    Anyone, with minimal practice, can manually outperform a bump stock's purpose of speedier firing.
