Well it's about time you guys start waking up
A bipartisan measure aimed at improving background checks for gun sales has been introduced in the Senate, after a mass shooting in Texas that officials say might have been prevented if the gunman's conviction on assault charges had been flagged in a national database.
Senators Introduce Bipartisan Deal To Tighten Reporting For Gun Purchases
If only you Republicans were willing before all the death that has happened recently.
The laws are already on the books liar. You regressive stains did nothing.
Wrong retard. That's why A bipartisan measure aimed at improving background checks for gun sales has been introduced in the Senate
if the laws we have already are not enforced what makes you think a new law will be the solution?
That's just an NRA talking point coming out of your mouth
No laws could have prevented the tragedy
Sounding another familiar theme, conservative writer David French
opined after Orlando: “The gun-control debate is nothing more than a destructive distraction” and asked rhetorically, “Is there a single viable gun-control proposal of the last decade that would keep a committed jihadist from arming himself?”
In the case of Orlando, the answer is a clear “yes.”
In Canada, the gunman could not have obtained a license to purchase a firearm because of his history of
domestic violence, signs of mental instability and vocal support for terrorist organizations. If gun-shop owners had to notify the FBI when somebody on or previously on one of the terror watch lists purchased a weapon, agents could have investigated and perhaps prevented the attack. And if there were restrictions on magazine size, the shooter would have had to reload more frequently, which would have given clubgoers a better opportunity to escape or disarm the assailant, mitigating the carnage.
Terrorists and criminals aren’t deterred by laws
The NRA’s
first public response to the Orlando shooting was an op-ed by Executive Director Chris Cox, in which he stated: “Radical Islamic terrorists are not deterred by gun control laws.” This is the newest iteration of the popular talking point that gun laws cannot work because criminals won’t follow them. As Marco Rubio often
proclaimed during the primary campaign: “My skepticism about gun laws is criminals don’t follow the law.”
Applying this logic, why have any laws? If criminals are just going to run red lights, why have traffic penalties? The NRA’s reasoning is a prescription for chaos — and it doesn’t withstand contact with empirical reality.
There’s clear evidence that laws do influence criminal behavior.
