The NRA has brought this on themselves. Several of their videos have had nothing to do with guns and everything to do with cheap shots at liberals. They are more interested in dividing people. In the aftermath of the Parkland shooting they are saying no. There is no reason for bump stocks and it is illogical to assume that a 18 year old cannot handle a handgun but can handle a rifle. Also mental health and background checks need to be looked at. People who are mentally ill should not have guns. However we need to also maker sure that people's constitutional rights are protected. The NRA needs to be a part of the solution not the problem.
There are two situations, the elimination of which would essentially eliminate mass shootings.
Neither of which is the NRA, or even the AR-15.
Yet the Left, the Democrats, Liberals, endorse neither.
In point of fact....these groups are responsible for the mayhem...
The solutions are
Gun Free Zones
and
Restricting psychologist prescribed psychotropic meds.
And....trained to accept what your masters propose.....I predict you have nothing to say vis-a-vis the above.
Am I correct?
The NRA needs to be a part of the solution instead of saying no to everything. Some of the proposals that have been put and are opposed by the NRA are sensible.
Be sure to let me know when you are ready to conclude that all the hand-wringing and chest-thumping by Democrats/Liberals is simply an obfuscation of their real desire: eliminating the second amendment.
Both sides are extremists. Liberal democrats want to go too far to the left and ban guns while right wing Republicans think that a no-brainer like raising the age for owning a rifle is too much. The NRA is a part of that extremism.
Let's review the facts.
Politicalchick and facts in a single sentence? That would be an oxymoron.
a."Over 98% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows"
According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, from the 1950’s through July 10th of 2016, 98.4 percent of mass shootings have occurred on gun-free zones, with just 1.6 percent occurring where citizens are allowed to have firearms with them."
Over 98% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows
The source you used is not listed above. But it takes a few seconds with google to see that you used a far right bat shit crazy site to get that quote. In fact, most shootings have been in other than gun free zones. And the fact is, named gun free zones are not gun free. There are typically gun carrying police or hired guards. The public is not allowed to bring guns. And only fools, and the NRA, say the public having guns with them would help stop mass shootings. You see, we can look at the other nations of the world and see that gun free zones do not increase mass shootings.
"deputy communications director Stacey Radnor points to data showing the vast majority of mass shootings take place in areas where guns are allowed.
“Pushing the myth that mass shootings only take place in gun-free zones is a twisted form of victim blaming,” she says. “It effectively suggests that innocent people living their daily lives—praying in houses of worship, studying at a college library—are to blame for their own deaths because they were not armed to the teeth in places that anyone should feel safe.”"
Mike Huckabee says mass shootings are enabled by gun-free zones, but the data tells a different story
b. "From 1994 through 2004, a federal ban on ‘assault weapons’ was in place, and it had no detectable effect on crime.
We have a unique advantage in judging calls for a ban on so-called assault weapons: We’ve done it before. From 1994 through 2004, a federal ban on “assault weapons” was in place, and it had no detectable effect on crime. The independent Task Force on Community Preventative Services found no evidence that the assault-weapon ban prevented any violence. The National Research Council’s review of the academic literature on the question found that the data “did not reveal any clear impacts on gun violence.” The Justice Department’s own study suggested that any effects of the law were too small to be statistically measured. Indeed, the only statistically significant outcome that could be detected was a steep rise in prices for various firearms that weren’t banned. Political realities being what they are, it is no surprise that Smith & Wesson shares went up almost 7 percent after the Orlando murders."
Assault-Weapon Ban: No | National Review
Uh, again, being a con troll, politicalchick has used a right wing nut case source to prove something that is not what we are talking about. No one ever has thought that eliminating assault rifles would reduce overall gun crime. As you should know. And it may not have. Try to read the following, from a reliable and impartial source:
"But the 1994 assault weapons ban was never intended to be a comprehensive fix for “gun violence” writ large. Its purpose, according to gun violence experts and the lawmakers who wrote the bill, was to reduce the frequency and lethality of mass shootings like the ones in Parkland, Sandy Hook and elsewhere. And on that front, the data shows it had a significant impact'.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...994-and-why-it-worked/?utm_term=.7cbfaae604e1
c. … the data shows that all mass shooting are in ‘Gun Free Zones,’ and when nearly all mass shooters are on prescribed psychotropic drugs…..
“At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.
I notice you have no source. Though the NRA and every nut case con web site tries to say that mental illness is a normal problem for these killers. It is just, me poor con, that it is untrue.
UH, HERE IS THE PROBLEM. OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS ELIMINATED THE LAW REQUIRING THOSE WITH MENTAL PROBLEMS TO BE PREVENTED FROM GETTING GUNS. AND THE STUDIES SAY FEW MASS KILLINGS ARE BY PEOPLE WITH DIAGNOSED MENTAL PROBLEMS. CONSIDER:
"A study in the American Journal of Public Health found that databases that track gun homicides show that less than 5 percent of 120,000 gun-related killings in America between 2001 and 2010 were committed by people with a diagnosed mental illness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported fluctuations over the years in the number of people who experienced serious psychological distress in the past 30 days. Since 2007, it has ranged from 2.7 percent to 3.8 percent in 2013. In both 2015 and 2016, the rate was 3.6 percent."
What we know about mass shootings
JESUS, YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO SEE WHERE YOU GET YOUR DATA, DO YOU. OR DID YOU EVEN HAVE A SOURCE. Net is that under 5% of mass killers have had a diagnosed mental condition. Which makes all this drivel about mental illness and drugs largely just that - Drivel.
It is important to note the … cases where the information about the shooters psychiatric drug use was made public. To give an example, although it is known that James Holmes, suspected perpetrator of the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, was seeing psychiatry-ist Lynne Fenton, there has been no mention of what psychiatric drugs he may have been taking—though it is highly probably he was taking psychiatric drugs considering he was under a psychiatrist’s “care”.
Of these 14, seven were seeing either a psychiatrist (5 of them) or psychologist (2 of them). It is not known whether or not the other half were seeing a psychiatrist, as it has not been published.
There have been 22 international drug regulatory warnings issued on psychiatric drugs causing violence, mania, hostility, aggression, psychosis, and other violent type reactions. These warnings have been issued in the United States, European Union, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.”

Uh, in short, everything you said in your post is based at best on very slanted sources, and is generally provably WRONG. But every single thing that you posted was provided by and supported by:

3. Politicians paid by the NRA, and graded highly by the NRA

That is so much BS.
Turning schools into a armed camp will get more people hurt. A teacher in Georgia fired his gun in class. Fortunately no one was hurt. We should get rid of gun free zones but that is not the total answer. We need to be pro-active and get to these people before they make it to a school or workplace.
There is also no reason to allow the sale of a bump stock or any device that allows a semi-automatic to act like a automatic weapon. Also there is no rational reason to say that a 18 year old can't have a handgun but can have a rifle.

that's a lot of work - i commend you on addressing individual points and making notes on what is important in proving a point. first off, you need one. other than to tell her she's jacked in the head, what is your counter point to what she has said?
with neutral reference points, as you require. without political input, as you require. which is more qualified to talk about guns than the NRA.
which again, you require.
so way to rip into a post but offer nothing in return for counter views that illustrate how you think discussions should go.

Nonsense. I suppose there may be a few progressives that want to ban all guns, I have never met one. By far the most common is that many want to ban assault rifles. Me included. Because there is no other way to stop mass killings.The NRA has brought this on themselves. Several of their videos have had nothing to do with guns and everything to do with cheap shots at liberals. They are more interested in dividing people. In the aftermath of the Parkland shooting they are saying no.

There are over 25 advanced nations in the world. Of those, 0 (as in ZERO) allow the sale of assault rifles to their citizens. And, all have less than 5% as many mass shootings as the US does. Most have almost NONE.
So, the real debate is whether we want to see our people killed by nuts with assault rifles, or if we want to get rid of a gun which has the primary civilian uses shooting refrigerators in garbage dumps or being used to shoot rock chucks. So, the determination in most countries is simple. Kids and adults are more important than getting to shoot appliances. Except to the gun and ammo companies, the NRA, and politicians and trolls paid by the NRA.
So unless they think like you they are not worth talking to is what I'm getting from youBe sure to let me know when you are ready to conclude that all the hand-wringing and chest-thumping by Democrats/Liberals is simply an obfuscation of their real desire: eliminating the second amendment.
Both sides are extremists. Liberal democrats want to go too far to the left and ban guns while right wing Republicans think that a no-brainer like raising the age for owning a rifle is too much. The NRA is a part of that extremism.
Let's review the facts.
Politicalchick and facts in a single sentence? That would be an oxymoron.
a."Over 98% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows"
According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, from the 1950’s through July 10th of 2016, 98.4 percent of mass shootings have occurred on gun-free zones, with just 1.6 percent occurring where citizens are allowed to have firearms with them."
Over 98% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows
The source you used is not listed above. But it takes a few seconds with google to see that you used a far right bat shit crazy site to get that quote. In fact, most shootings have been in other than gun free zones. And the fact is, named gun free zones are not gun free. There are typically gun carrying police or hired guards. The public is not allowed to bring guns. And only fools, and the NRA, say the public having guns with them would help stop mass shootings. You see, we can look at the other nations of the world and see that gun free zones do not increase mass shootings.
"deputy communications director Stacey Radnor points to data showing the vast majority of mass shootings take place in areas where guns are allowed.
“Pushing the myth that mass shootings only take place in gun-free zones is a twisted form of victim blaming,” she says. “It effectively suggests that innocent people living their daily lives—praying in houses of worship, studying at a college library—are to blame for their own deaths because they were not armed to the teeth in places that anyone should feel safe.”"
Mike Huckabee says mass shootings are enabled by gun-free zones, but the data tells a different story
b. "From 1994 through 2004, a federal ban on ‘assault weapons’ was in place, and it had no detectable effect on crime.
We have a unique advantage in judging calls for a ban on so-called assault weapons: We’ve done it before. From 1994 through 2004, a federal ban on “assault weapons” was in place, and it had no detectable effect on crime. The independent Task Force on Community Preventative Services found no evidence that the assault-weapon ban prevented any violence. The National Research Council’s review of the academic literature on the question found that the data “did not reveal any clear impacts on gun violence.” The Justice Department’s own study suggested that any effects of the law were too small to be statistically measured. Indeed, the only statistically significant outcome that could be detected was a steep rise in prices for various firearms that weren’t banned. Political realities being what they are, it is no surprise that Smith & Wesson shares went up almost 7 percent after the Orlando murders."
Assault-Weapon Ban: No | National Review
Uh, again, being a con troll, politicalchick has used a right wing nut case source to prove something that is not what we are talking about. No one ever has thought that eliminating assault rifles would reduce overall gun crime. As you should know. And it may not have. Try to read the following, from a reliable and impartial source:
"But the 1994 assault weapons ban was never intended to be a comprehensive fix for “gun violence” writ large. Its purpose, according to gun violence experts and the lawmakers who wrote the bill, was to reduce the frequency and lethality of mass shootings like the ones in Parkland, Sandy Hook and elsewhere. And on that front, the data shows it had a significant impact'.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...994-and-why-it-worked/?utm_term=.7cbfaae604e1
c. … the data shows that all mass shooting are in ‘Gun Free Zones,’ and when nearly all mass shooters are on prescribed psychotropic drugs…..
“At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.
I notice you have no source. Though the NRA and every nut case con web site tries to say that mental illness is a normal problem for these killers. It is just, me poor con, that it is untrue.
UH, HERE IS THE PROBLEM. OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS ELIMINATED THE LAW REQUIRING THOSE WITH MENTAL PROBLEMS TO BE PREVENTED FROM GETTING GUNS. AND THE STUDIES SAY FEW MASS KILLINGS ARE BY PEOPLE WITH DIAGNOSED MENTAL PROBLEMS. CONSIDER:
"A study in the American Journal of Public Health found that databases that track gun homicides show that less than 5 percent of 120,000 gun-related killings in America between 2001 and 2010 were committed by people with a diagnosed mental illness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported fluctuations over the years in the number of people who experienced serious psychological distress in the past 30 days. Since 2007, it has ranged from 2.7 percent to 3.8 percent in 2013. In both 2015 and 2016, the rate was 3.6 percent."
What we know about mass shootings
JESUS, YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO SEE WHERE YOU GET YOUR DATA, DO YOU. OR DID YOU EVEN HAVE A SOURCE. Net is that under 5% of mass killers have had a diagnosed mental condition. Which makes all this drivel about mental illness and drugs largely just that - Drivel.
It is important to note the … cases where the information about the shooters psychiatric drug use was made public. To give an example, although it is known that James Holmes, suspected perpetrator of the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, was seeing psychiatry-ist Lynne Fenton, there has been no mention of what psychiatric drugs he may have been taking—though it is highly probably he was taking psychiatric drugs considering he was under a psychiatrist’s “care”.
Of these 14, seven were seeing either a psychiatrist (5 of them) or psychologist (2 of them). It is not known whether or not the other half were seeing a psychiatrist, as it has not been published.
There have been 22 international drug regulatory warnings issued on psychiatric drugs causing violence, mania, hostility, aggression, psychosis, and other violent type reactions. These warnings have been issued in the United States, European Union, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.”

There are two situations, the elimination of which would essentially eliminate mass shootings.
Neither of which is the NRA, or even the AR-15.
Yet the Left, the Democrats, Liberals, endorse neither.
In point of fact....these groups are responsible for the mayhem...
The solutions are
Gun Free Zones
and
Restricting psychologist prescribed psychotropic meds.
And....trained to accept what your masters propose.....I predict you have nothing to say vis-a-vis the above.
Am I correct?
The NRA needs to be a part of the solution instead of saying no to everything. Some of the proposals that have been put and are opposed by the NRA are sensible.
Now.....focus like a laser:
These are the two solutions to mass shootings:
Eliminate Gun Free Zones
and
Restricting psychologist prescribed psychotropic meds.
How....exactly, would the NRA be responsible for accomplishing these???????
That is so much BS.
Turning schools into a armed camp will get more people hurt. A teacher in Georgia fired his gun in class. Fortunately no one was hurt. We should get rid of gun free zones but that is not the total answer. We need to be pro-active and get to these people before they make it to a school or workplace.
There is also no reason to allow the sale of a bump stock or any device that allows a semi-automatic to act like a automatic weapon. Also there is no rational reason to say that a 18 year old can't have a handgun but can have a rifle.
"Turning schools into a armed camp will get more people hurt."
Rumor has it that they have guys with guns in banks......
Why is that?
Adults go to banks not kids. You want to wait until they get there to do something. I want to try and do something before they get there.
because i read what you put down, son. you bitch a lot about sources so you can counter points she's making but in so doing you DO NOT refute with counter points from sites that you list as examples of what would validate your points to begin with.So unless they think like you they are not worth talking to is what I'm getting from youLet's review the facts.

"deputy communications director Stacey Radnor points to data showing the vast majority of mass shootings take place in areas where guns are allowed.
“Pushing the myth that mass shootings only take place in gun-free zones is a twisted form of victim blaming,” she says. “It effectively suggests that innocent people living their daily lives—praying in houses of worship, studying at a college library—are to blame for their own deaths because they were not armed to the teeth in places that anyone should feel safe.”"
Mike Huckabee says mass shootings are enabled by gun-free zones, but the data tells a different story
b. "From 1994 through 2004, a federal ban on ‘assault weapons’ was in place, and it had no detectable effect on crime.
We have a unique advantage in judging calls for a ban on so-called assault weapons: We’ve done it before. From 1994 through 2004, a federal ban on “assault weapons” was in place, and it had no detectable effect on crime. The independent Task Force on Community Preventative Services found no evidence that the assault-weapon ban prevented any violence. The National Research Council’s review of the academic literature on the question found that the data “did not reveal any clear impacts on gun violence.” The Justice Department’s own study suggested that any effects of the law were too small to be statistically measured. Indeed, the only statistically significant outcome that could be detected was a steep rise in prices for various firearms that weren’t banned. Political realities being what they are, it is no surprise that Smith & Wesson shares went up almost 7 percent after the Orlando murders."
Assault-Weapon Ban: No | National Review
Uh, again, being a con troll, politicalchick has used a right wing nut case source to prove something that is not what we are talking about. No one ever has thought that eliminating assault rifles would reduce overall gun crime. As you should know. And it may not have. Try to read the following, from a reliable and impartial source:
"But the 1994 assault weapons ban was never intended to be a comprehensive fix for “gun violence” writ large. Its purpose, according to gun violence experts and the lawmakers who wrote the bill, was to reduce the frequency and lethality of mass shootings like the ones in Parkland, Sandy Hook and elsewhere. And on that front, the data shows it had a significant impact'.

c. … the data shows that all mass shooting are in ‘Gun Free Zones,’ and when nearly all mass shooters are on prescribed psychotropic drugs…..
“At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.
I notice you have no source. Though the NRA and every nut case con web site tries to say that mental illness is a normal problem for these killers. It is just, me poor con, that it is untrue.
UH, HERE IS THE PROBLEM. OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS ELIMINATED THE LAW REQUIRING THOSE WITH MENTAL PROBLEMS TO BE PREVENTED FROM GETTING GUNS. AND THE STUDIES SAY FEW MASS KILLINGS ARE BY PEOPLE WITH DIAGNOSED MENTAL PROBLEMS. CONSIDER:
"A study in the American Journal of Public Health found that databases that track gun homicides show that less than 5 percent of 120,000 gun-related killings in America between 2001 and 2010 were committed by people with a diagnosed mental illness.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported fluctuations over the years in the number of people who experienced serious psychological distress in the past 30 days. Since 2007, it has ranged from 2.7 percent to 3.8 percent in 2013. In both 2015 and 2016, the rate was 3.6 percent."
What we know about mass shootings
JESUS, YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO SEE WHERE YOU GET YOUR DATA, DO YOU. OR DID YOU EVEN HAVE A SOURCE. Net is that under 5% of mass killers have had a diagnosed mental condition. Which makes all this drivel about mental illness and drugs largely just that - Drivel.
It is important to note the … cases where the information about the shooters psychiatric drug use was made public. To give an example, although it is known that James Holmes, suspected perpetrator of the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, was seeing psychiatry-ist Lynne Fenton, there has been no mention of what psychiatric drugs he may have been taking—though it is highly probably he was taking psychiatric drugs considering he was under a psychiatrist’s “care”.
Of these 14, seven were seeing either a psychiatrist (5 of them) or psychologist (2 of them). It is not known whether or not the other half were seeing a psychiatrist, as it has not been published.
There have been 22 international drug regulatory warnings issued on psychiatric drugs causing violence, mania, hostility, aggression, psychosis, and other violent type reactions. These warnings have been issued in the United States, European Union, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.”

Did you find any reference to 'age' in any of those????
Uh, in short, everything you said in your post is based at best on very slanted sources, and is generally provably WRONG. But every single thing that you posted was provided by and supported by:
1. The NRA
2. Far right sources who get their info from the NRA and other right wing sites
3. Politicians paid by the NRA, and graded highly by the NRA
4. Nut case con trolls paid to post drivel friendly to the far, far nut case right and the NRA.
In short, there is no integrity to be found in your post. Just con talking points.
that's a lot of work - i commend you on addressing individual points and making notes on what is important in proving a point. first off, you need one. other than to tell her she's jacked in the head, what is your counter point to what she has said?
with neutral reference points, as you require. without political input, as you require. which is more qualified to talk about guns than the NRA.
which again, you require.
so way to rip into a post but offer nothing in return for counter views that illustrate how you think discussions should go.
It is really simple. Start by following the truth, which means leave the partial sites alone. Use well known rational and impartial sites. If you can not do that, then there is no use proceeding.
How would I know what you are getting from me, me boy. I simply prefer rational conversation, unlike what you post.
There are two situations, the elimination of which would essentially eliminate mass shootings.
Neither of which is the NRA, or even the AR-15.
Yet the Left, the Democrats, Liberals, endorse neither.
In point of fact....these groups are responsible for the mayhem...
The solutions are
Gun Free Zones
and
Restricting psychologist prescribed psychotropic meds.
And....trained to accept what your masters propose.....I predict you have nothing to say vis-a-vis the above.
Am I correct?
The NRA needs to be a part of the solution instead of saying no to everything. Some of the proposals that have been put and are opposed by the NRA are sensible.
Be sure to let me know when you are ready to conclude that all the hand-wringing and chest-thumping by Democrats/Liberals is simply an obfuscation of their real desire: eliminating the second amendment.
Both sides are extremists. Liberal democrats want to go too far to the left and ban guns while right wing Republicans think that a no-brainer like raising the age for owning a rifle is too much. The NRA is a part of that extremism.
Let's review the facts.
a."Over 98% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows"
According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, from the 1950’s through July 10th of 2016, 98.4 percent of mass shootings have occurred on gun-free zones, with just 1.6 percent occurring where citizens are allowed to have firearms with them."

I am not talking about a assault weapon ban. While I do not support gun free zones, the answer is more complex than that. You assume the drugs are doing it when the shooters were already screwed up.
The fact is that there is no reason for establishing a age limit of 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles. A 18 year old can still be in high school. You are a right wing extremist and you are part of the problem same as far left extremists.
