What law(s) would have stopped the Buffalo shooting?

Following the massacre in Buffalo over the weekend by a teenager we are hearing the same load of crap from politicians that we heard following Columbine, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Parkland, El Paso, N.Y. City subway, and countless others.

And nothing got done. Nothing will get done following the Buffalo massacre. Why?

Here a few reasons and they all can be attributed to a political party. Guess which one? It is the party that is expected win big in the November mid-terms.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization it says of itself, It is widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights.In 2013. The Washington Post called the NRA "arguably the most powerful lobbying organization in the nation’s capital." National Rifle Association

We know that the NRA contributes heavily to the Republican Party, and the GOP has for decades stymied gun control measures in Congress. We know Republicans are waiting for the clamor over the Buffalo massacre to blow over, but that is extremely unlikely.

There will be another mass shooting before the month is over. Indeed, there were at least four other mass shootings since Friday coinciding with the Buffalo massacre.

Then there is this.

The Guardian reports, "The massacre by a white supremacist gunman of Black shoppers at a Buffalo grocery store has drawn renewed scrutiny of Republican figures in the US who have embraced the racist “great replacement theory” he is alleged to have used as justification for the murders.

"Born from far-right nationalism, the extremist ideology expounding the view that immigration will ultimately destroy white values and western civilization has found favor not only with media figures, such as the conservative Fox News host Tucker Carlson, but a host of elected politicians and others seeking office.

"They have convinced themselves Democrats are operating an open-door immigration policy to “replace” Republican voters with people of color and keep themselves in power permanently.

"A study of the history of great replacement theory in Republican circles states the theory isn’t new to American politicians. In 2017, the Iowa congressman Steve King, a fierce Trump loyalist, said in a tweet: “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”

So, what is the teenage killer supposed to think? The Buffalo killer was embracing a theory that is being held by Republican lawmakers. Republicans protect the right to purchase firearms by preventing regulation to be passed in Congress. A Republican President thought it was okay to lead a coup attempt to overthrow our elected government because he lost an election, and he is the current the leader of the GOP. Our capitol was ransacked, hundreds were injured, and people were killed in the coup attempt.

In his mind he was doing God's work. After all, nearly everything he believed was supported by the Republican Party, and they are expected to win in November.

The forum's Republicans will remain silent about all of this. What the hell can they say?
 
NY gun laws:
Gun laws in New York - Wikipedia
NY has among the strongest gun laws in the US - indeed, NY has ALL the 'common sense' laws - laws, we are told,. will prevent shootings like this.
Obviously, these laws don't work.
So...
What law(s) would have stopped the Buffalo shooting?
What makes you believe this?
How do these law(s) not violate the constitution?


Laws already on the books, the kid was arrested for threating to shoot up a school, and was committed to a psych ward. He could have been reported as an ineligible buyer to NICS. NY didn't do their job, but hey, they'll say it's not their fault and blame it on the gun.

You introduce regulations and laws, you have government buy back schemes and hand in amnesty events over the decades. You still get to enjoy guns, but you need a cultural change to take that on board.

Countries like the UK, New Zealand, Australia experience low gun incidents due to the regulations and laws. But coupled with this, our culture doesn't froth at the mouth screaming we need guns to shoot the kids outside for being noisy and playing football.

If the Senate doesn't scrap the 2nd Amendment, America will continue to be fucked up with guns.

As in another thread elsewhere, scrap the 2nd Amendment from those born in 2040 onwards. Those born before will have the 2nd, those after won't. As generations die out, you have the gradual reduction in gun nuts.

The right to bear arms was guaranteed in the 1689 Bill of Rights in the UK, in which the new King William of Orange enshrined a series of rights for his subjects - Catholics were famously excluded. Then in 1870, a licence was introduced. So 150 years later, the UK is where it is with gun regs low gun incidents, and a culture who's not greatly bothered with guns.

So UK gun laws being introduce in America and getting America to where the UK is, will take some 150 years. So it doesn't really effect you, yet you seem very passionate it will. It'll filter through over the generations.

Moron…Australia has had about a dozen shootings since the gun confiscation which didn’t qualify as mass public shootings because the shooters simply failed to kill 3 people. Bad shooting on the part of the killer doesn’t show their gun laws worked…you idiot.

A few of those shootings you mentioned the shooter passed background checks.
 
Laws already on the books, the kid was arrested for threating to shoot up a school, and was committed to a psych ward.
Neither is true.
He was questioned by police and evaluated by mental health professionals.
Neither found him to be a specific danger to himself or others, and let him go on his merry way.
And thus, he was not a prohibited person.
 

In a country of over 330 million people we had 6 mass public shootings in 2021………..

6

In a country of over 330 million people……

Total killed?

43

Deer kill 200

ladders 3000

Meanwhile, if you took all of our gun murders… they wouldn’t equal the 15 million innocent men, women and children murdered in six years by the German socialists and the countries they conquered…….

82 years of gun murder in the U.S. = 800,000 gun murders…can you tell which country had more murder?
 
Neither is true.
He was questioned by police and evaluated by mental health professionals.
Neither found him to be a specific danger to himself or others, and let him go on his merry way.

Somebody screwed up, the kid was obviously a sick puppy.

Wrong ….. in 2021 there was a total of 6 mass public shootings….6.

Since the beginning of this year there have been two, including Buffalo…….

Mother Jones mass public shooting data base covers all of them…….you don’t know what you are talking about



 
Good. Lie back and enjoy while the tree of freedom is watered with the blood of innocents. It's the American way.

And a hoot to watch.
Oh, for fuck's sake.

What are you doing to stem gun violence? Whining on the internet?

Worrying accomplishes nothing.

Fuck off...
