So when 92% of Americans are in favor of something simple and common sense like universal gun background checks and only one side is stopping it, then it's a pox on both of the houses? Disagree completely with that. One side and one side only is to blame on this particular issue (not saying all issues).
Again, I think background checks are fine, so I am in the 92%. And my local congressman (R) doesn't listen to me. He listens to John Boehner and Paul Ryan.....but not me. I am still for term limits for BOTH parties. Would help take the money out of politics.
In other developed countries, there isn't the existential and ever present risk of someone kicking in your hypothetical door because there aren't 350 million guns including military style assault rifles used in mass shootings over and over floating around. There are now more guns in America than people. It's absurd.
I completely agree. In point of fact, I have bought and sold guns to friends before and every time we do I go to an FFL dealer and register the sale or purchase. The only guns I've ever owned without going through a background check were old guns that my grandpa left me after he passed away--- and I feel no reason to register those as they are all old a$$ shotguns.
So do away with all laws? If someone wants to murder someone, it doesn't matter if there's a law against it so what's the point?
and this was only the second one with multiple shooters in how many of those cases.
Honestly? It's a test case for liberal policy.....and the results are exactly what those of us opposed to it would expect. And it is swept under the rug by a corrupt media who is bought and paid for.
300,000,000 people and a few hundred do something bad.....So take away the other 299,999,700 peoples rights? I agree with you a lot scholz but not on this.
Because people murder each other at a crazy rate on the south side of Chicago. I guess they could say Detroit or some other city, but I believe Chicago is the current murder capital of America.
are you and Scholz saying to confiscate all guns in the U.S.? And then outlaw having a gun? I am curious? Because background checks would not have stopped many of these shootings...although i do agree with background checks.
That's fine. Weapons are already regulated though. You can't have a hand grenade or a anti-aircraft missle. So to me you're not "taking away" a right. I don't think civilians should have such military weapons. They're only used to murder. You don't need them for hunting, sport or self protection.
You can still limit the carnage. It's unconscionable the deaths we've come to accept as the new norm now.
Has a knife-wielding individual ever murdered dozens within a few minutes? I'm pretty well read but can't remember ever seeing that. C'mon, man.
So one's behavior shouldn't be regulated in a society? Should you be able to drive as fast as you want? If not, you're not free?
So you are going to determine what someone "needs"? Or what? You want all semi weapons confiscated? A semi pistol kills you just as dead right? so take them too? What exactly are you saying should be done....EXACTLY? I may be confused on what you are saying.
You sure you're you should feel so smug about that comment?
You think guns should be taxed every year? How would that stop people that WANT to kill a lot of people from doing it? That make no sense at all. The number of people killed by eating too much.....drinking too much.......smoking and on and on and on. You tax them to ? Right? Don't twist words with the freedom statement I made. The second amend. was for guns. There is no damn amend for speeding in a car...that is just ignorant.
Black people are the majority in many large cities, conservatives point out Chicago because it is a total disaster in many neighborhoods. I feel sorry for poor people in those neighborhoods. The fact is that the southside of Chicago is extremely dangerous. Pretending that people only talk about violence in Chicago due to racism is dead wrong.
It's certainly not ignorant. There is an amendment for free speech and you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater. My point is that rights are limited and that includes guns. And you didn't address my points about grenades and missles. It even has the words "well regulated" in the 2nd amendment, something conservatives always conveniently forget.
Free speech has nothing to do with what you can say in a theatre. It is so you can speak out against government and not be jailed for it. I like most of your posts but on this I disagree with you 100%. There is no way the gov can take up all the guns in the U.S. Impossible.
If you say so. Meanwhile Fox never talks about white extremists who do the majority of mass shootings. It's always focus on the black and brown people.
Every time I buy a gun I have had a background check. that is being "regulated" last time I checked.
Only when it comes to the Black Lives Matter movement, that doesn't seem to give two sh!ts about black lives in the "hood". Only if a cop is involved.
