After the eighth school shooting in seven weeks – some gun control proposals

A lot of teachers don't. I think thats fair to state yes. It's only a good solution for gun nuts.

 

Just have the door automatic and only open if the metal detector doesn't beep. It would cost money, but at least the schools would be safe. I'm in favor of gun control for automatic weapons also, but that won't stop black market automatic guns or all the guns not covered by the ban from being used.

 

What's in that trombone case , sister ?
I am not yer sister .

 

Yeah, it would be inconvenient at first, but once people got used to it things would flow more smoothly. I don't think something similar to airport security would work. Just a simple metal detector and an automatic door that couldn't be shot through. Metal detectors are selling for $2000 on ebay.

 

The gun shops were busy today. I went to 3 of them. I purchased one rifle. Demand is high. Employees are on the phone with distributors who are low on inventory or out of stock on many firearms themselves. My NRA new membership packet will be coming in the mail soon.

 

Automatic weapons are already illegal.

 

And why do you feel the need to join the hordes of other people who rush to buy guns after a mass shooting?

 

Because I believe, and I may be wrong, that action in real life like buying a rifle, putting your money where your mouth is, showing up, earning a concealed carry permit, is more powerful and effective than arguing on the internet. Are you doing anything to work for what you want besides having intellectual debates online?

 

Yes i've written my representatives and joined the local chapter of a pro gun control group.

I've always found the spike in gun sales after a mass shooting to be a bit depraved to be honest.

 

I don't believe you. Did you write a physical letter or an email or what? What gun control group specifically did you join?

Depraved is defined as wicked or morally corrupt. Can you expound on how you came to that judgement?

 

With freedom comes responsibility. Would you rather we have no freedom and not have to deal with responsibility? I am grateful for this country and the freedom we have. According to the FBI rifles kill 1/4 of that of knives and 1/8 that of hand guns. The 2nd amendment is NOT about hunting. Id rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. And this is where the detractors say.. ah youre a cave man gun nut that needs to join civilized society. Well, philosophically i think the primitive deserves a lot of respect. Why does it have an inherent negative connotation? You are fooled if you think we are past all that. Or that we need to be. We share a lot in common with lobsters which are many millions of years older than trees.

 

This is why we need more school shootings. Kids need to die so gun sales go up.

 

I condemn this comment even if you are just trying to be ridiculous. do you know the authorities are taking threats like this very seriously now. I will report this to forum moderators and they can contact law enforcement if they choose.

 

Yeah go right ahead. Buy more guns while you're at it.

You know, the threat level and stuff.

 

Sounds like the NRA's point of view on needless gun accidents and mass shootings

The innkeeper trusts his guests like he is himself

Whose freedom? What freedoms would you defend with your guns? - when would you start killing police officers?

I mean as I pointed out earlier - US gun owners say their guns are in part held to defend against a ‘bad’ government, but what is the definition of a ‘bad’ government, what is the demographics of gun ownership in the US, and I believe it’s mainly white, male and politically right wing and politically in the US who are the biggest defenders of gun rights, does it come from the right or left?

What do you think they would define as a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ government?

Think about the thousands of black people murdered by the KKK and other racists in the southern states of the US was that ‘tyranny’ was that ‘bad’ government – so why didn’t the ‘decent’ and ‘good’ white people of those areas protect the black people being abused, I mean they had access to guns.

It seems to me that it’s basically a well-armed right wing group threatening society with violence if it does things they don't like – for instance bring in gun control, I mean as one person put it, that is when they would begin killing police officers.

It does make one wonder if the gun lobby are the ones most likely to support ‘bad’ government if it fitted in with their viewpoint?

But as I’ve already pointed out many gun owners claim that they have guns for the very specific task of killing police officers (and others) if they don't conform to the gun owners political views.

And I’ve already said I hope the FBI is taking note of such people.

 

More pages and the same old same old from the anti-gun lobby –same old bluster, same old hot air and same old BS.

They have no real argument because there is no real argument because they have begun with ‘I don’t want it’ and then gone looking for anything that might just vaguely fit in with that stance even when their isn’t anything and even when they know there isn’t anything – that is there isn’t anything rational or reasonable.

Because it seems to me that the main reason so many have the stance they do is because they are afraid its emotional fear that drives them it’s basically ‘I don’t want it because I’m afraid’

They’re frightened of their society, they’re frightened of people not like them, they are frightened of change, they are frightened of ‘the conspiracy’, they are frightened of ‘the government’ and they are frightened that people might find out they are frightened.

Those that want to exploit them nurture their fears and encourage the paranoia and even hate that is built on that fear.
