We need to seriously hold those who ignore red flag laws. We also need to hold schools accountable for not having good security. How many times do these nut bars keep getting in the schools? America first!We have guns in our house as well, I'd GLADLY give them up to save 20 kids.
Especially wars.Including wars?
Would you giving up your guns actually save lives?Who cares if it saves kids lives?
Would you give up your guns to save 18 kids' lives? I would.
I can’t answer for him but I can for myself. No, I won’t give them up. Someone else’s actions have no bearing on me or my rights.I have guns in my house, I'd gladly give them up to save 20 kid's lives. How about you?
Oh the great “America, Love it or Leave It,” reply, exhibit A in the display of our storied anti-intellectualism. In the category of taking your ball and going home or holding your breath to spite someone who scores in an argument. But of course, obviously, without question we have nothing to learn from countries who gave us our language, culture and politics.Problem solved if you like their laws so much move there. See ya.
Another stupid platitude. Bans don't 100% work, so, oh well, guess we shouldn't do anything.You simply don't understand. The laws that will ban guns in the hands of civilians will make half of America feel better about themselves and those people will go to sleep knowing that they "did something" to save the nation. THAT is what's important. Then, when it doesn't work they can blame Republicans for not enforcing the law or whatever and THEN they will feel better about themselves and THAT will be what's important. Bans have been completely effective when it comes to drugs, purchasing alcohol by those under 21, speeding, seatbelts, and any number of other things. Why would it be unsuccessful with guns?
no it wouldn’t. And you can’t tax each round $10.And if we banned the importation of all ammunition and taxed each ROUND $10 it would slow the growth dramatically...
Neither can be banned or restricted. The 2nd amendment precludes you from doing so.The key is the ammo, not the firearms...
What will this country need to do to prevent all mass shootings at schools?
There is something inherently flawed with laws that allow an 18 year old to legally purchase an AR-15 and/or serve in our U.S. military, but an 18 year old can not legally purchase a beer. And I also, own several firearms.With each new mass murder, and each ineffective and limp response from the right to them I am more inclined to agree with a ban on nearly all private ownership.
And I own a Glock and a Mossberg. This madness (and the impotent response to it) is pushing me to that opinion.
So, you wouldn't give up your guns to save 20 kids' lives?I can’t answer for him but I can for myself. No, I won’t give them up. Someone else’s actions have no bearing on me or my rights.
Maybe it's time for something more proactive than "Sorry that's tragic I'll pray for you."
We could theoretically stop the importation and domestic manufacturing of firearms. But it would take decades for firearm ownership to be at the levels we see in countries like the UK or even Sweden. We have more guns than citizens and who knows how many unregistered ones.There are over 400 million in circulation. If you banned them all tomorrow, it would not reduce them by a single firearm. Nor would it stop the manufacture, importation or purchase of a single firearm.
Do you have agency?There are over 400 million in circulation. If you banned them all tomorrow, it would not reduce them by a single firearm. Nor would it stop the manufacture, importation or purchase of a single firearm.
About the most ignorant ****ing answer I could have imagined.We're going to "accept guns" whether you like it or not, and if you persist in advocating such idiocy, we're going to work to have you thrown in prison for your dangerous and antithetical views. How's that for an answer?
Not always.It doesn't matter. Outlawing abortion is about criminalizing the taking of lives. Using guns to take lives is already illegal.
If everyone gave up their guns, gun deaths would reduce. But, you'll never, not even to save 20 kids, so it's moot, isn't it?Would you giving up your guns actually save lives?
False dichotomy.Another stupid platitude. Bans don't 100% work, so, oh well, guess we shouldn't do anything.
Assinine.
Sadly that guard was a police retireeWe literally just saw a grocery store with an armed security guard be the site of a mass shooting. What is the answer then? Guards with AR-15s and full body armor roaming every public space?
You referring to abortion?Any freedom that demands a constant blood sacrifice of innocents, especially children, isn't worth it.
You can’t ban them. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this. See DC v Heller.
You could ban them tomorrow and it would not reduce the tens of millions already in circulation by a single magazine, nor stop the manufacture importation or purchase of one.Large cap magazine ban
This is a made up term.Saturday Night Specials
I’m spinning you around in circles with facts. You don’t o ow anything about firearms.Spin again and research first
Unfortunately, once all of the schools are "hardened" against shooters it won't stop, they will just shift to softer targets, like movie theaters, shopping malls,Unfortunately, we have so many firearms floating around in our country that the only recourse we have is to turn our schools into fortresses.
ZzzzzzzzzIf we are gonna use this tragedy to pass draconian laws lets actually address the source of the problem. Fatherless children. All these shooters have that in common. Let's pass a law that bans women from having children out of wedlock and banning divorces for couples with children.
It's a fantasy to think that you or I giving up our guns will save peoples' lives.So, you wouldn't give up your guns to save 20 kids' lives?
When people show you are, believe them.
Bans don't work, period.Another stupid platitude. Bans don't 100% work, so, oh well, guess we shouldn't do anything.
Assinine.
