Another mass shooting deserves a better answer.

[Sirthinksalot]

The apologist for the gun lobby thinks to mask the connection between availability of assault weapons and mass shootings by making all shooters crazy. Well, bringing back the 1994 AWB still makes sense, because crazy or sane, it would deny mass shooters their weapons of choice. Just saying.

You realize the 1994 AWB banned the manufacture for civilian use of "assault rifles". It did not require people to turn in guns they already owned. "Assault weapons" were still available. Columbine happened during the assault weapons ban.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....if we treat all gun purchases like this country treats car purchases, you'd have a better tracking system and mandatory class to pass in handling the item. Won't stop all nuts and evil doers, but it'll cut down the number of incidences.

Oh, and for all the 2nd Amendment/NRA/pro-gun lobby bullhorns: where were all the CCW heroes that you people swore would save the day at these tragedies? It was in Texas, ya know.

There is no tracking system for cars you idiot.

 

[Lord Yurt]

Mental health is a key too


our society doesnt treat mental illness


and we have powers stoking hate


This is not normal


Its the effect of having an internet society full of vulnerable people



And a nation or three set on destroying our democratic society



the hero of this story is YOU


if you are a human stop siding with this evil cabal


this is not a sport or a video game




Be human


all others will be considered evil actors bent on killing America


oh and BTW


you cant win


all ideas based in sociopathy will fail



most people are mostly good


a few are like saints



and a few are rat bastards



the rest are russo bot holes

America doesn't treat mental illness. You're insane, go get help now! Even poor people get treatment you lying bitch.

Won't happen till this MOTHERFUCKER IS GONE--and his ILK!!!

"Blasts" from the past...

What did Clinton and Obama do?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

For starters, all those states that have pretty lax laws requiring gun purchases would have to adhere to having all customers get that license and registration. Criminals like as little oversight as possible....which is why you have such a thing as the "Iron Pipeline" for guns used in crimes in NYC, which has very strict gun laws. It would also put the kibosh on the gun show loopholes. Not perfect and won't stop all illegal exchanges/purchases/transfers, but it sure as hell would put a serious crimp in them.

there is no gun show loophole. we've had this conversation before.

But that does not change the fact that in state with CCW, you had none to stop this guy. And if there were some who would have tried, how would the cops tell the difference between bad guy and good guy in a panic crowd fleeing shootout?

people need to make a decision, you either believe in a persons ability to defend themselves, or you don't. If you don't believe that people have a basic and fundamental right to self defense, this conversation is dead and so are millions of others, eventually. If you DO believe a person has the right to defend themselves, then you need to force law enforcement to be less trigger happy.

 

[Rune]

this guy wasn't mentally ill, as a good number of these clowns are not.

Yes he was.
Who are you to judge?

 

[Rune]

Poor dumbfuck, always confused. Why do we need legislation to fight Russian interference? Your Messiah said it would be impossible to rig an election.

Possibly the dumbest post on the internet this year.

 

[Rune]

Kind of a wacky post isn't it, you must be on drugs.

Nope, she is just unbearably stupid.

 

[Rune]

$800 billion for election security? Way too much money. I'd block that too. Just a way to spend tax dollars to hire even more government workers for you assholes to unionize.

Obama is your Messiah, cunt. He said it would be impossible to rig an election. Remember when your Messiah said that, cunt?

There is no cost too high for secure elections FOOL.

 

[Rune]

Are you really that dumb? You think politicians stick to answering the specific question they were asked? Of course you are. When he said that elections were decentralized, you think he was still addressing FRAUD? Laughable moron. Listen more carefully WHEN YOUR MESSIAH IS TALKING!

I will go by his words not your distortions, stupid twat.

That is just an urban legend.

Keep sticking up for your gun hating friend, douche bag.

At least he only gets that one thing wrong, unlike you.

At least he only gets that one thing wrong, unlike you.

Hmmm... Just ONE thing? So it's OK to push for dismantling the constitution, but just because you and that fool hate the current president, it's OK? That shows just how "passionate" you are about our constitution.

He gets EVERYTHING wrong, while you only get one thing right.

You got that backwards, shitstain and the worst part is that the GOP hates guns just as much but they use their fake support to sucker in stupid single issue voters like yourself.

There is no tracking system for cars you idiot.

Loan your car to someone for a period of time, and they get into an accident. Guaranteed that the car will be traced to it's owner, and if the person you loaned it to doesn't have insurance, YOU could be on the hook for it. Got that stumpy?

 

[Taichiliberal]

What did Clinton and Obama do?

During his term, President Clinton also used the power of executive orders to implement gun control policies. On April 6, 1998 Clinton signed an order that permanently banned the importation of more than 50 types of semiautomatic "assault weapons".

Congress blocked Obama's call for new gun laws after mass shootings
