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

All a matter of fashion. Banning a single gun model won't do anything, people will just switch to something else. Anybody remember the Tec-9?

 

I don't disagree but we need to prove that. Take it away......watch what happens. If a new weapon gets used, we have proven that, and can lift that AR ban. But since the AR is the ones these sick kids use, and much controversy that surrounds it, I'd like to put it to bed by in fact removing it for a time at least. My own handgun was made illegal for a time by another left wing campaign. That ban was later lifted.

 

And was the owner of that pink rifle involved in a mass shooting?

How many mass shootings were done with an AR-15 rifle?

 

The Dickey Amendment makes it kind of tricky for the CDC. The amendment says that no funds can be used to advocate gun control. What can we do with outcomes that implicate higher rates of homicide?

Why Can't the U.S. Treat Gun Violence as a Public-Health Problem? < -- this article discusses the amendment.

 

Do you know what CDC stands for? Hint: its not Harvard.

Many pages ago I said you were irrelevant in this convo but somehow I started reading your posts again. Guess I gotta stop a second time. You are sooooooo far off base. Judging people because of what color their gun is.

And for the last time. ARs are not assault weapons. AR stands for armalite rifle. ARs are semi automatic. Assault weapons have selective rate of fire.

That explanation wont suffice for the gun ignorant because they dont understand what all that means.

 

Sooo realistic. Ban the AR, watch people switch, lift the ban. Rinse. Repeat whenever some kid gets shot.

Just to prove a point? I'd like to hear your argument when someone buys two Glock 17s and kills 15 people in 3 minutes. Ban semi-auto handguns? Fucking sacrilege!!

Doesn't prove or disprove anything. It gets banned. A year later someone else gets elected. Laws get changed. Merry go round without reason or rhyme.

 

When was the last time bike lock weilding communists and basement dwelling low-lifes shut down a leftist rally like the Oscars?

People like Shapiro want people to have victory mind sets and be successful. It seems to me that it’s racists like Tim Wise who preach that white people are only successful because of their hue. Promoting a victim mindset for people of color. By preaching that they won’t ever have it as good as a less-than-average white person no matter how hard they try.

 

6-eyed, if you care about that issue so much (and it seems you care a lot more about that than this thread topic), and would like an in depth convo about white privilege and/or blacks getting victimized please create a thread for it and start talking about it there.
It's a worthy subject for a good discussion so I'm sure people will join in. Trying to do it in here you will just be ignored a lot.

 

No my point and argument is, if we ban the AR, and it shows no change in school massacres, we can tell the left to shut the hell up once and for all about ARs. If however they are right, we need to recognize that.

In their minds, if we don't make change to the ARs they will always be right that its the problem, therefore never take responsibility that it may be something else wrong that they can actually fix.

 

Society isn't the problem. The whack jobs are. And they aren't that many in comparison to the overwhelming numbers of perfectly sane legal gun owners.

 

The wackjobs are a part of society, and when they have access to an assault rifle can have , and are on a too regular basis, a horrible impact on the rest of society. If a big part of society has enough of that and wants to limit the risks, but are obstructed by another big part of society (a certain amount of legal sane gun owners) than yes, this society is part of the problem on itself. Not merely the wackjobs committing the actual atrocity.

 

Who defended the idiot who painted his AR-15 pink?

 

Yet automobiles have to many other positive benefits, in your opinion, to address the automobile as the problem. It seems your opinion simply overrides others.

 

My opinion that gun control is not a good idea is based on the fact that there's no one else besides yourself to count on for protection at the instant you need it. If you believe the police are going to be there for you at that moment, you're wrong. There are not even close to enough LEO's on the job to do anything but write a report and investigate after the fact. And even if one happens to be nearby, he's under no obligation to provide you with any personal protection, despite what you've been led to believe. Yet these same undermanned forces want you to surrender to them the tools you have to protect yourself and your loved ones. Not going to happen in my household, unless it's taken from my cold dead hands.
