Exactly. They don't really want common sense regulations. They want all the guns. As we have seen over and over again these common sense regulations don't work. We have yet to see a proposal put forward that would have prevented these killings.
The Republicans get on board with legislation because they too are political. They don't want to be seen as "heartless" when kids are killed. So more dumb bills are passed that actually don't do anything.
Why post when you have nothing to offer? You begin with an echo, the damn lie that gun control = gun confiscation.
Your second borrowed opinion negates how other nations do not have gun violence anywhere near what we have here.
There is no law which prevents law breakers from breaking the law. Most citizens obey laws because they are common sense, such as not going through a red light. And when they do and get caught they are punished.
Okay then, my offer is to allow more law abiding people to have guns and carry them concealed or openly.
It's not a lie, it's what you want. Evidence? Your mentioning of other nations. In those nation's they have the strictest anti gun laws which prohibit their citizens from having guns. Which IS gun confiscation. You have not offered ANYTHING that would stop the issue at hand. Not one thing.
Give us the common sense gun legislation that would stop the situation. Please.
What distinguishes a criminal from a law abiding citizen?
I know from experience, having a gun in one's possession can have some people act recklessly, when they should not have acted at all.
So far the reasons - so to speak - of those who oppose any and all gun control is limited to:
- "Shall not be infringed"
- Gun don't kill, people kill
- It's my right
- Confiscation (slippery slope argument)
- attacks on Democrats, liberals and progressives.
Notice, not one single post by those who oppose any and all gun controls have made mentioned of the victims, those shot, those killed; their family and friend; the cost by LE to respond, EMT's to Respond, hospitals to respond; the disruption to life of those thousands of people who attended, or will attend functions anywhere in the United States do to their selfish and callous disregard for others.
Notice than NONE of you have actually offered a solution to the problem. What exactly is common sense regulations?
Q. What are common sense regulations
A. Licensing & Registration
- Each individual state which wants to can pass legislation requiring anyone in their state, who wants to own, possess or have in their custody and control a firearm needs to:
- Pass a gun safety course
- Pass a background check
- Register and insure their firearms
- Have never been convicted of a crime of violence; detain as a danger to themselves or others, or been served with a protective order, to stay away from anyone.
How does passing a safety course prevent gun violence?
How does registering your gun prevent gun violence?
And most states already have these types of laws on the books.
And none of them would have prevented the vast majority of the mass murders.
So it appears that your common sense legislation is already in effect, but isn't stopping the gun violence.
So give us some laws that would actually curb the violence we have.
