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

Because it can't be removed anymore than they can keep heroin out of our prisons. It only creates a false sense of security as the gun Genie is already out of the bottle. I expect the "oh but Europe" this and the "oh but Canada" that, but there's no fair comparison to be made since they have only a fraction of the US population. It's a pipe dream to think we can remove these machines from our world. Better to work on the problems we can reach like dismantling gangs, containing maniacs and enforcing the laws that are already in place.

 

It is indeed mandatory for all males to register for a draft by 18.

 

Yeah I say we go around making policy based on one time occurences.


Hey what about the fact that a 300 Win Mag can pierce a military helmet at over 1000 yards (further than AR15) and can go through a guy, through a wall, and kill a guy on the other side

 

He brings vehicles into the argument perhaps because

Canada has laws that ban guns based on cosmetic features and the US 1994 to 2004 assault weapons ban did too

 

Wow, its like you actually make sense and arent crazy.

 

And now we have the veterans' hospital shooting (not stabbing) in Napa County. Never ends!

 

It's unfortunate these shootings take place at schools and locations like a veteran hospital, dance club or concert. Maybe if these culprits really want to trigger a societal change in some way (not sure how often that plays a role when committing such an atrocity) they could do it at NRA buildings.

 

Little nuance: To people like you

 

It was an Asian American dude. In one of the most gun restricted states in America. I doubt we will hear that much about this one. Maybe some over the weekend in a slow news cycle.

And another one in Pomona,Ca. 2 officers shot. Tuned in to CNN and saw Stormy Daniels for an hour.

It doesn't fit the liberal dialog very well.

 

They could try. But they would likely be taken down in a hail of bullets if they did.

 

Some credit card companies and payment companies are refusing to process payments for merchants
who specifically sell only guns/supplies .

The payment company , SQUARE , has issued this statement :" We do not believe the sale of firearms
on our platform is consistent with our values or in the best interest of our customers ."

Similar private policies have previously applied to internet sales of pornographic materials .

So , morally how do guns = porn ?

 

Its a private company. They should be able to business with whom they like. I have no problem with it. People can pick who they want to do business with.

 

It's a shame there are guns at all. However, even as humans have always used varying substances to change consciousness in their surroundings/lives-----people have always been aggressive and murderous toward those considered others. Both circumstances are unlikely to change in any material way. I think that it would take a complete reset of the priorities of purpose, relative as to why we humans are even here, the importance of such and the importance ( if any) of the individual. The reordering would have to start with the very little ones as they come into being, but as it stands, the BIG ONES would/ will have none of that kind of talk. Soooo---here we are.

 

Private businesses serving the general public do get sued for discrimination .

 

Right, it would be like trying to rob a gun shop. No, these mass shooter pussies don't go after challenges, they look for easy marks and maximum horror. Which is why no amount of whining about it will a thing. It's time for an apolitical solution that doesn't involve partisan grandstanding.

 

Just for the record, do you support a ban on all guns, or are you focused on semi-automatic rifles?

 

Forgive me for not keeping up with your posts year in and year out. I've never really paid attention to the gun issue until as of late. Now what certain types of guns do you support a ban on?
