Sorry ---- that's already been debunked.

You really DO need to keep up ... or order the hardcopy version. Only $19.95 + S&H

Perhaps you need to stop helping killers then.

You guys got rid of the assault weapon and magazine capacity limits. You threw gas on the fire. Your why we constantly have the new worse mass shooting.

You won't have problem to provide the link when the last time the "assault weapon" was used in school shooting.

The gun used just this week would have been banned under the law.

Gun used was not the assault weapon.

It would have been illegal. FACT.

The only fact here is that gun used in shooting is not assault weapon.

The hell it isn't. It's a worthless piece of shit gun--and it's only purpose is to make some fat ass feel like RAMBO. You can't hunt with it, you can't use with a concealed weapons permit, it's only purpose is to kill people.

A 5 dollar part turns this semi-automatic piece of shit into fully automatic.

 

[Darkwind]

Limit gun ownership to what the Founding Fathers intended, muskets. Problem solved.

The founding fathers intended that the populace have the same weapons as the modern military. In the 18th century, it was the musket.

It is no longer the musket today.

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.
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.
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.
5. Background checks including extended mental health checks before any purchase of a gun is made.
6. Straw buyers of guns, those who buy guns for others, be under the same prosecutable standards as those that pull the trigger.
7. Those that are on a no fly list, or FBI terrorist watch list not be able to purchase any guns or ammo.

The same tired talking points, demanding the same schemes that have already been tried time and again, and have uniformly failed.

Has it ever occurred to these hysterical whiners to wonder why we have massacres today even after the very "changes" they demand, already having been in place for years at various times? And no changes in the rate of gun violence and deaths... except for them INCREASING?

One definition of "insanity", is trying the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. By this poster's Point #5, he himself would be ineligible to buy a gun.

Hmmm, maybe he has something there.

No they're not in place dumbass. Orlando, Florida--the guy was on the FBI watch list and was able to walk into a gun store and load up-&-he had his own little massacre. Now Obama brought this up to Republicans when he was in office, (the FBI watchlist & people who are on no fly lists) and stated that they needed to do something about it. Republicans said NO.

The Sheriff in Florida at this school shooting was interviewed. On T.V he continually called for people to report any weird behavior. When the reporter asked him, if this kid would have reported to him, what would he have done. He said well we would go and talk with him. Then the reporter asked, well would you have been able to take away that AR-15. The Sheriff said NO, he has legal right to have it. IOW--it wouldn't have stopped this kid, because there is NO LAW in place to take that gun away.

Trump & Republicans repealed Obama's mental health requirement that he initiated after Sandy Hook.
Trump repeals an Obama regulation keeping guns from people with certain mental health conditions

A Republican's ONLY interest is protecting their campaign cash cow--the NRA. That's it. It doesn't matter how much maiming & killing goes on in our schools, in our streets, in our churchs--they are going to protect the NRA first and foremost.

The gun rights organization (NRA) spent a stupendous $54.4 million in the 2016 election cycle, almost all of it in "independent expenditures," meaning spending for or against a candidate but not a direct contribution to a campaign. The money went almost entirely to Republicans to a degree that almost looks like a misprint (but isn't): Of independent expenditures totaling $52.6 million, Democrats received $265. Yes, that's $265 dollars.

The only thing you'll get out of any Republican is sympathies, a moment of silence and prayer vigils.

Vote for Democrats this coming November for common sense gun regulations.

It was stupid the first time, and the second time ... now, it's simply annoying.

Just regurgitating the same, tired, failed talking points.

It is no longer the musket today.

Do you think their intention then was so that citizens could shoot each other up, when no form of tyranny is targeted?

 

[DrLove]

Ridiculous, nothing short of firearm confiscation there. Lol

You live in South Dakota Brain Freeze PROBABLE-

I'm sorry

You live in Idaho. What's the difference?

20-30 degrees this time of year - and there are twice people as many in Boise metro alone than there are all of South Dakota.

Any more questions?

 

[basquebromance]

in order to justify the necessity for guns, the gun-rights narrative must continually reaffirm the frontier spirit, which makes self-defense and military duty important.

despite the fact that the frontier is no longer a common experience for Americans, the staunchest gun advocates go to great pains to maintain a sense of the world as a dangerous, insecure place.

Stick to what you know, not what you think you know.

Regardless of looking like one, the AR-15 is not an assault rifle. You lefties will call orange a banana if it fits your narrative, it's still doesn't make it a banana.

I didn't say it was an assault rifle--it is a semi-automatic, and we witnessed in Las Vegas that these semi automatics can be easily converted into a fully automatic with a bump stock that sells cheap at many gun stores in this country.

You can blame this on Republicans who have been in power in congress since 2010--and have done NOTHING to help keep guns out of the wrong hands and have fought tooth and nail to protect the NRA--(their campaign cash cow.)
'Thoughts and prayers' — and fistfuls of NRA money: Why America can't control guns

So if you lose your semi automatics point your blame finger in the right direction.

Republicans did NOTHING after the Aurora theatre shooting, they did NOTHING after Sandy Hook, they did NOTHING after San Bernadino, they did NOTHING after Las Vegas, they did NOTHING after Orlando, Florida, and they're doing NOTHING today after this school shooting in Florida, except offer their sympathies and holding prayer vigils.

OBAMA simply asked Republicans to put people who were on Terrorist watch lists, and no fly lists on the no gun list. They refused, then Orlando Florida happened. OBAMA initiated mental health checks, after Sandy Hook, and Trump & Republicans repealed that.

So who's really to blame for all this?

Your Republican Senators & Congressmen--whom have made it very clear they're not going to do JACK SHIT. If you want change & common sense gun regulation you'll have to head to the polls this coming November, 2018 and vote for DEMOCRATS.

Yes you did.

The hell it isn't.

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.
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.
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.
5. Background checks including extended mental health checks before any purchase of a gun is made.
6. Straw buyers of guns, those who buy guns for others, be under the same prosecutable standards as those that pull the trigger.
7. Those that are on a no fly list, or FBI terrorist watch list not be able to purchase any guns or ammo.

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.

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.

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.

Your "common sense" does not resemble ours here on Earth.

 

[Cecilie1200]

ban democrats from firearm ownership

Like those whimpering Nancys would own a gun, anyway.

Who do we vote for if we want to protect the constitution and instead hold the shooters responsible?

Anyone else.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Common sense gun control means train and arm the teachers.

Honestly, the best thing is make schools into fortresses with iron doors, metal detectors, and on-scene armed security.

Arming the teachers is as foolish as arming the kids would be.

So you're saying you don't trust the teachers to be intelligent and responsible.

Explain to me why, then, I should trust them to educate my children at all.
