38,000 gun deaths. Could that number be reduced? Only if gun advocates could imagine it could. But to rely on gun advocates for solutions to gun violence is a fool's game.
Your right to bear arms isn't already infringed. Where do you store your thermonuclear warhead? Your flamethrower? Your mortar?We have sown the seeds of gun violence by our apathy. We have cultivated the fields with political intimidation through the powerful gun lobbies. We have watered the fields with the blood of the innocent. And now we must reap the whirlwind.
Gun advocates will argue that as no law could prevent gun violence, no laws need be written.
The lawful will not give up the right. The criminal will ignore any law.
Your solution?
Your right could bear a little more nfringment for the sake of public safety.
"In America, we are free to stockpile weapons. We are free to order ammo online. We are free to outfit our guns with bump stocks, like the Vegas shooter did. This is the price we pay for freedom, alright. The freedom to not give a damn." - From the article
Damn right! Bless America.
Why would you NOT give a damn about mass shootings?
I don't give a damn about anyone who uses a tragedy - be it terrorism or psychotic with a gun - to advance a political agenda.
As soon as the argument goes towards depriving anyone of their rights who wasn't involved in the shooting it's time to tune out.

It's almost as if the situations are contrived in order to try and strip Americans of rights.
Btw, I just learned the latest TX shooter was on psych meds.
Texas church shooter Devin Patrick Kelley served in Air Force, was court-martialed for assaulting wife, child
When have Liberals ever thwarted gun control efforts?38,000 gun deaths. Could that number be reduced? Only if gun advocates could imagine it could. But to rely on gun advocates for solutions to gun violence is a fool's game.
It's 32,000 gun deaths a year and half those are suicides and don't count. 37,000 car deaths every year though. And that problem could be easily solved but you libs say hell with it.
no it wouldn't, that's a dream with no reference in realityyea, the left isn't coming for our guns..Very interesting article Why Americans don't give a damn about mass shootings - CNN
One month ago, the worst mass shooting in US history took place at a country music concert in Las Vegas. Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 500 people injured. Bill O'Reilly boiled the massacre down to six words: "This is the price of freedom."
I hate to say it, but he is right. Sunday, just 34 days after Vegas, 26 people were gunned down and about 20 others were wounded during a church service in Texas. And here's what is really sick -- we won't be surprised when there's another mass shooting next month. Maybe it'll be your church, your mall, your concert or your movie theater. That's the price of freedom.
In America, we are free to stockpile weapons. We are free to order ammo online. We are free to outfit our guns with bump stocks, like the Vegas shooter did. This is the price we pay for freedom, alright. The freedom to not give a damn.
Tweeting "prayers for the victims" does not equal giving a damn. Feeling bad for a day or two does not equal giving a damn. Changing your Facebook profile photo to support the victims does not equal giving a damn.
This hit home for me:
Why the apathy?
Until gun violence impacts your family directly, you won't care enough to do something about it. There's a ton of research to explain this apathy.
After World War II, the famous Cambridge psychologist J.T. MacCurdy studied an interesting phenomenon about the bombings in London in 1940 and 1941.
He found that people affected by the bombings fell into three categories: those who died, those who were a "near miss" (who closely witnessed the horror of the bombings but lived), and those who had a "remote miss" (people who may have heard the sirens, but were removed from the direct scene of the bombing).
Here's what's interesting. MacCurdy found the people who witnessed a "near miss" were deeply affected by the bombing -- while the "remote miss" group felt invincible and even excited.
I was 800 yards +/- from the shooter at Mandalay Bay, well within range. I was armed with a Glock. Nothing I could have done with that, I was out armed and nowhere near effective range.
IMO: ALL automatic and semi-automatic rifles should be banned.
you freedom hating filth won't be happy until we are down to plastic sporks
the idiotic idea that bans would make us safer is just ignorant on a level that can't be described.
It would make mass shootings harder to commit and less prevalent.
Perhaps you should do a little research BEFORE you make stupid statements?Can not outlaw semi automatic weapons the Courts already ruled that in order to be protected by the 2nd Amendment a weapon must be of use to the military.Very interesting article Why Americans don't give a damn about mass shootings - CNN

You don't give a damn. When you or your family are involved in a mass shooting, are you going to give a damn?
Nobody is depriving anyone of their rights.
It is a well known Supreme Court decision from the 1930's.

Or you could answer the question.
Your right to bear arms isn't already infringed. Where do you store your thermonuclear warhead? Your flamethrower? Your mortar?We have sown the seeds of gun violence by our apathy.

I call into question your statistic. Where is it from? I have neither seen nor heard anything even close to that number.38,000 gun deaths. Could that number be reduced? Only if gun advocates could imagine it could. But to rely on gun advocates for solutions to gun violence is a fool's game.The gun as inanimate object is a popular fall back position. Automobiles are also inanimate objects, but their use and design are regulated for public safety.The two step is still a popular dance, and as a means of avoiding responsib. Social Secuirty checks aren't being used to kill dozens of people at once.Spoken like one that doesn’t have a real clue. It isn’t the guns of those legally possessing guns, it’s those with illegal guns. It is a society not on gun violence, but on violence. It is the cheapening of life, when you can abort a kid because, when you raise a generation of entitlement, a generation where it is all about me, me, me. Where we don’t need a mom and a dad, where God and the family unit are looked down upon, this is what you get.
Precisely, and you blaming an inanimate object is foolish.
But yet automobiles and the careless use still accounts for more deaths than guns....no?
You're not a shooter are you? Ever shot a gun of any kind before? I seriously doubt you would say such things if you had. Educate yourself, then come back.All of them should be effectively banned. Semis, ugh. Noisy to get into action, unreliable, only good for shooting people or jamming. Handguns, ugh. Only good for shooting people.Which of all these should be banned?
Small problem with your "correlation" driving a car is not a constitutionally protected right. But, how about we use the falls statistic instead? 27,000 (approximately) every year. Gun murders? about 8,500. So, maybe we should spend more time teaching people how to not fall?It's funny but gun lovers often point to the hazards of the automobile. But to operate one, you must be licensed, pay an annual fee for plates, be insured and be at least sixteen years old.The gun as inanimate object is a popular fall back position. Automobiles are also inanimate objects, but their use and design are regulated for public safety.The two step is still a popular dance, and as a means of avoiding responsib.

As guns should be.
If we could treat guns as carefully as we treat that damn hazardous car...

Infringe on any right at your own peril. This is not a threat, it is a warning. Infringing on rights is starting down the pathway to tyranny. A place where you would wish more people had guns.

Except for Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Could Paddock have amassed his weaponry? NO.
Could the Texas shooter who was denied a gun sale in Texas drive to a different State and buy? NO.

Will you be utilizing the argument that you were armed with only a knife and not in effective range to stop the guy with the handgun if the next incident involves only a handgun?
*****CHUCKLE*****
Time to pull out the old YES albums.
I have several Roger Dean prints around the house.
You post this and rate my post as funny. Why should you be taken seriously?

Gun advocates will argue that as no law could prevent gun violence, no laws need be written. The argument of the unimaginative and truly uncompassionate. But those gun advocates insist on using the second amendment as a national suicide note. They see powerful weapons used on the battlefield as their uninfringible right to bear. I ask them: what is the virtue of high capacity magazines and semi-automatic (or modified semi-automatic firing systems). They argue that such weaponry is absolutely necessary to defend themselves from the hordes of gun toting criminals at their door. They live in a make believe world of Rambo and Dirty Harry where they can be the hero gunslinger saving the day.
Gun advocates won't take responsibility for the havoc brought by those weapons. Those of us who want to act are thwarted by their intimidation. And the bodies keep piling up.
If Charleston, Newtown, and Las Vegas couldn't move the needle, no tragedy will.
To quote Sonny & Cher, and the beat goes on.
