Common sense gun regulations--need to be passed now.

[oreo]

Here are my suggestions.

1. Ban semi-automatic weapons and 30 round gun clips. Worth debating about.
2. People with existing semi-automatics & ammo be required to keep them in a locked secure gun case, and required to maintain an insurance liability policy on that weapon in order to keep them. Insurance should be maintained on firearms.
3. Parents of children & teenagers are required to keep all of their guns & ammo in locked secure gun safes, inaccessible at all times to their kids. I am all for a gun safe and locking up weapons to keep from children.
4. No private sales. If someone wants to sell their gun, it has to be dropped off at a licensed gun dealer for resale so a background check can be done. I would suggest the licensed dealer mediate the sale so the background check can be done.
5. Background checks including extended mental health checks before any purchase of a gun is made. Define the mental health checks, It needs to be specific in order for the government to take away a right.
6. Straw buyers of guns, those who buy guns for others, be under the same prosecutable standards as those that pull the trigger. Don't agree
7. Those that are on a no fly list, or FBI terrorist watch list not be able to purchase any guns or ammo. No, absolutely not, there are people on the no fly list that should never been on there. I think Ted Kennedy was on a no fly list at on time.

If these simple regulations were in place--there would have never been a Las Vegas, a Sandy Hook, a Columbine massacre, a church in Texas, San Diego slaughter, Orlando, Florida massacre, a Virginia Tech etc. etc. etc., and 15 young kids and 2 teachers that were killed yesterday would be here today. I respectfully disagree.

You won't convince Republicans to do any of this. They are OWNED by the NRA, and right wing gun extremists, and will fight (tooth & nail) on any new gun regulations. They are more interested in the donations they get from the NRA than keeping the public and our schools safe. More partisan BS which does nothing to further the discussion, just hampers any real change.

If you're tired of all the condolences & sympathies, then do something about it. Vote for Democrats in the midterm election cycle this coming November for common sense gun regulations. This silly statement takes you from sensible gun control to a using this as a political tool which is disgusting.

Started out as a good thread to promote discussion and ended in just a partisan rant to inject politics and division.

"Define Mental health background?" Obviously someone who has been seen for odd behavior, mental health counselors & physc's, problem people, violent people, & or with a record of being violent and obtrusive behavior--publicly threatening, etc.

Straw buyers? What's your issue with that? If you can't pass a background check and you send a buddy in to buy a gun for you--why is it that they get off scott free, after you slaughter people? This is how the San Bernadino massacre happened. Guns were purchased by a staw buyer.
Alleged buyer of guns used in San Bernardino shooting may face several charges

There is nothing silly about my comments about Republicans. You know as well as I do--Republicans won't do Jack Shit on any gun control bill. In fact, here is what they did with Obama's requirement on mental health after the Sandy Hook Massacre.

Within his first two months as president, Donald Trump repealed without public display an Obama administration gun regulation that prevented certain individuals with mental health conditions from buying firearms.

So nothing about the root cause?



Like single mothers, violence on television, movies, video games, in music.....

Other countries have those things and don’t have regular school shootings...

I would rather get shot walking down the sidewalk then acid in the face.




Britain is one of the worst countries in the world for acid attacks per person, it has been revealed

You realize a gun will kill you? You can’t be this dumb.
Are you a gang member? This is mostly a gang on gang thing...

 

[Brain357]

Countries with strong gun control don’t have a mass shooting problem.

And they don't have the 2nd amendment for the millionth time or 600 million guns.

So the second kills ours children.

Mental health does not mean violent in fact those with mental health issues tend to be less violent and probably a victim of violence than those without mental health issues. So I am concerned with the lumping of people with mental health issues and the inability to buy a weapon as a violation of due process and Constitutional rights. Those with mental health issues, just like those with physical health issues can also heal and become productive members of society. Also many with mental health issues become obtrusive because the people handling them are not understanding them. Lots of misinformation is out there.

The political BS from you is just grandstanding and propaganda and serves no useful purpose and taints your arguments significantly, just my opinion.

OK--so this year we have 18 school shootings, and it's not even March yet. Yesterday in Florida 15 young people with their entire lives in front of them, along with 2 school teachers trying to protect them were massacred. Then we have Las Vegas. Then a church in Texas were generations of family members were wiped out. We have a movie theatre in Aurora Colorado, then San Diego were a straw buyer purchased semi-automatics for a slaugther there, and Orlando, Florida another one. And Sandy Hook where 5 to 7 year olds were slaughtered.

People have called for better gun regulations in this country and it has continually fallen on deaf ears. Republicans are owned by the NRA and right wing gun extremists.

Here are my suggestions.
1. Ban semi-automatic weapons and 30 round gun clips.
2. People with existing semi-automatics & ammo be required to keep them in a locked secure gun case, and required to maintain an insurance liability policy on that weapon in order to keep them.

None of these will prevent and evil-sick person from acquiring weapons on the black market in order to kill people.

What they will accomplish is to make law-abiding people less able to defend themselves and others.

Don't you love how leftists say drug laws are wrong because you can't prevent people from making bad decisions, then with gun laws they say, oh, that will work ...

[toobfreak]

There hasn't been 18 school shootings this year this false number is including suicides and accidental firearm discharges.
You obviously do not understand the functioning of a semi-automatic weapon, Functionally a .223 hunting rifle is no different than a AR-15. With a little practice there is no significant firing time difference between using a 30 round clip and a 10 round clip.

So you want to tell people what they can and cannot do in there own homes ? I have been around fire arms my entire life at no time have mine been locked away in anything more substantial than a glass cased gun cabinet neither me or my children have gone on a shooting spree nor have there been any accident discharges. Why ? Because as I was taught responsible gun ownership the same as my children and when it is time my grandchildren will get the same.

Telling people what they can and can not do with their private property.

If someone buys a weapon for someone else and they commit a crime they can be charged, so ?

What is the criteria for being in the no fly list ? If you are on the list for no fault of your own how do you get off?

Everything you have mentioned will not stop people from shooting others all you and other Liberals are calling for is more government intrusion into individual lives.

And when the "common sense gun laws" fail, as have the 20,000 already on the books, because they all fail to address the real cause, then the Left will conclude they simply have not gone FAR ENOUGH instead of in the wrong direction. Soon this will lead to MORE and TOUGHER gun laws making it next to impossible to buy guns or ammunition or use them sportingly, and then finally when THAT fails and the shootings continue, they will say we have come this far, time for EMERGENCY MEASURES and ban guns outright. Then people will be totally defenseless, only the criminals will have them, and crime and panic will soar as criminals will know that the whole country is now a "gun-free zone" and theirs for the taking. When the Left have ultimately driven us to a POLICE STATE, THEN they will be happy they've fulfilled their agenda to make America a Socialist Fascist State of TOTAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL, and they will run the government.

There are no single mothers in the other nations? No video games, no loud music, violence on TV? What is the big difference is that there is easy access to guns, guns that are designed only for killing people. Look at how many of the mass killings are done with those weapons. Time for action, the hell with prayers and sympathy.

You have nothing to offer in anything we could possibly compromise on.
No leverage to negotiate with ... No legal standing for your position.

The only thing you could possibly have is a threat ... Go pound sand ...

Your variables play into the cause but so does excessive amount of guns, the most deadly guns, in our country and lax gun laws.
Lets work on all variables leading to the mass killings INCLUDING MORE COMMON SENSE GUN REGULATIONS.

nobody ever has and nobody uses it for that, that bogus claim is just a liberal strawman, you don't get to take the constitution away from America just because you are not getting your way...many on the right are sure the founding fathers never intended the first amendment to cover pornography, or flag burning, beside, the left wing explanation for things that [may] have not been the intention of the framers is that the document is a living evolving document designed to cover the rights of the people and protect certain rights [unalienable] of the minority needs/opinion from that of the majority...and they are right...an American will always err on the side of peoples rights

Wrong...they did not stop mass killings...that is a lie.....dumb luck has kept them safe.....they have had numerous incidents of shooters in public spaces with guns....who simply didn't shoot more people, or did 't kill the ones they hit....


This is a lie that you keep pushing...

Please explain how Australian gun control laws kept these individuals from shooting more people...Australian gun crime is going up, not down, and they have been living on dumb luck since they banned guns...
