Dem Sen Murphy: there's not enough votes for assault weapons ban: "I don't get why we choose to live like this with kids in fear. only in America"

All "mass shootings" are already illegal, regardless of any new laws.

That's because the laws don't go after the massive number of guns in this country. Do that, and you'd see a significant reduction in deaths and violence.

The US has more guns in the hands of civilians than all the guns in the rest of the world combined, including the militaries.

Enacting new unconstitutional laws will only take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens that never were going to commit a crime in the first place.

The Druggies, Gang Bangers and street thugs (who commit the the great great majority of the gun crimes) will always get whatever weapons they want.

The crimes against law abiding citizens will increase because they will not have the means to defend themselves.

The nut cases will either find a way to get a firearm or they will come up with another way to kill people.

Anyway, your point is moot because the Bill of Rights says very clearly that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Recent Supreme Court decisions have strengthened that right.

Or maybe it's because we're we have land and other resources to absorb large numbers of immigrants, and we as a matter of policy have taken in more immigrants than other countries.

Other countries - quite a few in fact - have larger percentages of their population that are immigrants, so in terms of scale, your metric wouldn't work.

But anyway, you're digressing -- on purpose because you want to change the subject.

that means we are better,,

Israel requires a lot more than a security system. Read on - from an Israeli source.

Comparing America to Israel on gun laws is dishonest – and revealing

US conservatives like to point out that both societies are well-armed, but the similarity ends there: Israelis trust their state, and don't fear each other

We all know how well that would go over here.

DOes security in schools work? Yes or no?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This problem could easily be fixed by using guards and safety tactics in schools. That we don't use our billions to protect our children instead of the Ukraine is appalling.

Not a duty under the US Constitution.

 

[multivita-man]

DOes security in schools work? Yes or no?

"Work" in what way? Breaking up fights and putting kids in detention? Sure.

Stopping someone with an AR-15 hellbent on murdering 20 people? Not so much.

 

[80zephyr]

Not a duty under the US Constitution.

Then give tax dollars to the states.

Change the law, then.

Again, Israel proved it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...the same old weak excuses. Not interested.

Anyway, your point is moot because the Bill of Rights says very clearly that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Recent Supreme Court decisions have strengthened that right.

The Supreme Court and many of the circuit and district courts have been rigged by political partisans. Time to un-rig them.

I've already dispelled your Israel mythology.

 

[80zephyr]

I've already dispelled your Israel mythology.

No, you haven't. School security is a separate issue.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Conservatards are brainwashed by right wing plutocratic propaganda. No country has gun laws that are this permissive and this stupid. Not Israel. Not Switzerland. Not any of the countries you stupid fuckers use to back up your bullshit arguments. Every other country on earth has figured out that the notion that ordinary people have the "right" to a closet full of machine guns is a recipe of societal collapse.

You idiots shit your pants over drag queen story time, but at least a drag queen with a book can be trusted not to end the lives of 10 or 20 kids in a classroom.

Who has a closet full of machine guns? No one.

 

[progressive hunter]

Change the law, then.

youre the one that doesnt like it,,

You're right, I don't, and I advocate changing the laws.

How will taking my guns reduce school shootings if I don't shoot up schools?
