What to do about the mass shootings in the US

[Ahlevah]

No, I would add an amendment repealing the 2nd and massive gun confiscations. I asked if anyone here really wants this to stop. You don't apparently.

I do want it to stop. But you're dreaming if you think Americans are going to turn their guns in or destroy them or let anyone come into their homes so they can be confiscated. You'll get a second American Revolution before that happens. Incidentally, how is the bump stock confiscation going? Can you tell me how many have been taken off the streets?

What's interesting is that you never see a mass shooter that used firearms as part of their job or had firearm use as a serious hobby.

If I was the one setting the rules, you'd have to display knowledge and competence prior to being able to keep a weapon in your home or on your person.

We may one day wake up but it will take many more thousands of murders before we do. Or perhaps it will take a black man spraying a crowd at a Nascar race that kills a thousand people. We all know that conservatives don't give a **** about anyone or anything until it hurts them.

 

[Manc Skipper]

Other countries have had mass shootings, from time to time, as one off events. Nobody but America has them as routine. The sheer vo;ume and availability of guns is the only significant difference

It is, but how many people living on subsidies come from right leaning parents vs. those coming from left leaning parents?

There is correlation.

In the south? Most

Those on public assistance primarily and Federal subsidies reside in Red states.

 

[Lord of Planar]

Those on public assistance primarily and Federal subsidies reside in Red states.

If you look into the intricacies of that fact...

1) Red states lave a lower cost of living.
2) Incomes are lower to reflect lower costs of living.
3) Federal subsidies to families are a one-size-fits-all solution.

This is why we see higher subsidies per person.

I'll bet more of those people a lefties rather than righties as well.

I specified person, and you argues with state.

That's not very bright...

When did banning anything ever work. Didn't they ban alcohol in the 30s? How did that work out. The US had 72,000 OD deaths last year. How is the drug ban working. Aren't non citizens banned from staying in the US. Tell that to the 22 million. Speeding is banned, alcohol and tobacco for minors is banned. Child porn is banned. Beating your wife is banned. It don't take an Einstein to see that banning don't work.

For Christ's Sake, the cities with the strictest gun laws in the US has the most shootings. What moron thinks passing laws will stop criminals from being criminals?

Red states have a lower cost of living because they are poorer. They are raised right wing and then go on welfare

 

[TurtleDude]

It's funny how your brilliance convinces you that you can successfully create a personality that does not exist.

Well in several years I have pretty well destroyed most of the nonsense you have posted-such as the crap that AR 15s are "designed for heavy combat" (a lie), AR 15s are "Weapons of war" (a lie), "shall issue has caused all sorts of crime" (A lie), and my favorites are memorialized in my signature. Care to tell us what you have ever proven?

You're inaccurate and just plain wrong.

banning guns works to harass honest citizens who want to own guns. That is the main purpose of gun bans-that and to pander to stupid people who think that does something to deter criminals.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

States That Spend the Most and Least on Welfare

They never let the truth get in the way of a good story

 

[PirateMk1]

My rights aren't predicated on how some troll with a gun is feeling that day either. A no tolerance ban is the smartest thing we can do right now and your rights go unharmed.

You never stop anybody intent on hurting you, even if you live in the strongest fortress, all you do is delay the inevitable.

 

[TurtleDude]

Ya'just can't buy this kind of entertainment: "This! Looks Like a Job for Reputation Defender.com!"

You crack me up dude: do you really believe your own ****, or are you counting on the stupidity of others to do that for you?

the only stupidity I constantly count on comes from the posts of a guy who claims that AR 15s are WEAPONS OF WAR, or that shotguns are rifles.

 

[BahamaBob]

Might as well, the only thing banning does is make it profitable for criminals. It certainly don't stop anything.

(chuckle)

There; you're doing it again. "Weapons of war" is the new phrase people are using, I don't use that phrase. I say the factual "designed for use in heavy military combat".

YOU have to be consistent or people are going to get the idea that you're lying...

just sayin

And - what - inevitability are you referring to?

Seems that those who defend 45 and an unencumbered 2 Am don't care who dies as long as they can amass their own personal arsenal.

So which firearms weren't designed for use in heavy military combat?
