[quote=CRedskinsRule;1226826]No it's about the deaths caused by guns. And the fact that more people are killed by cars then guns, and the fact that order of magnitude more people with no voice are killed because they have no voice. Gun violence creates fear, and fear motivates politicians to make bad laws. Car deaths are accepted because of the necessity of cars is seen as greater then the necessity of guns. Death by abortion is accepted because the murdered party can't defend themselves with twitter accounts #inutero[/quote]

If you're going to do the cars/guns argument I'm going to rebuke with the "let's treat guns the same way we treat cars" argument. You need a license to drive, you have to attend a class and take a test at the end of class to prove you are worthy to drive. You have to get your license renewed every 5 years, and your license can be suspended or revoked for any number of reasons.

Deal? deal.

I don't think 15 year olds can legally buy guns anywhere.

How would insurance work for guns, just curious.

I think background checks are fairly equivalent to the licensing and renewing a DL is a joke, you don't retest, you don't even go in anymore, all you need is your eyesight checked (if you want to make sure all gun owners have 20/20 vision, makes hitting the target easier). Background checks and DL both ensure that you are legally allowed to own a gun/drive a car.

I think most responsible gun owners have gun safety classes, but if it was required to take gun safety courses, as long as it's not used as a permanent bar, (unless you are incapable of understanding how to use a safety because then you're an idiot)

You already can lose your right to gun ownership if you recklessly use your gun just like you can a license, by committing a felony (reckless driving, dui, etc) in fact any felony causes you to lose your right to bear arms, but you can murder someone and still drive a car (once you finish your life sentence).

So deal!

There are about 10 states that let a 14 yo get a learners permit, most allow 15 year olds, but a more relevant (maybe) comparison would be mopeds. They are not regulated the same as cars, and shotguns aren't regulated the same as handguns or semi automatics.

I think a big thing to remember in the Gun Control argument is constitutional law.

So when we think of licenses, insurance, registrations, you gotta think about that.

But again, we aren't addressing the mass shooter issue at all. So we are actually fine with mass shooters and its more about guns, right? Kinda like the New Green Deal, its not really about climate, but imposing, forcing socialism on the country.

yeah...I think what im getting at is registrations, licenses, insurance, etc is not addressing this uptick in mass shootings. I think we should really focus on that rather than the gun. There is a constitutional right and gun violence dramatically drop....so why do we have an uptick in the mass shooting phenomenon?

So items like Red flag law, a concerted effort to deal with domestic terrorism such as white supremacist, mental health education starting early in school, mandatory 5 years if possessing illegal gun, etc these focus more on folks who shouldn't be in possession of a gun, mental health to help the youth, and fighting extremist ideology which is easily assessable online.

I have relatives who could arm a small country and have never even gotten a speeding ticket. What do you say to the millions of those?

You have to be 18 to buy a rifle or shotgun, 21 for a handgun in Virginia. Even in a private party sale the buyer is supposed to produce picture I.D. issued by a state agency. That sale was 100% illegal.

Idk, seems like a lot of responsibility tasking the feds with divvying up the pie for local gov't vs. increasing the budget for medicare. And non-profits? If the gov't was funding non-profits every NP would be out there asking for money. I'm also wary of giving to charity seeing as there are tons of charities out there that use very little of their resources towards the cause, like Susan G Komen for instance.

How much of government bureaucracy goes to the end cause?

There are solid reports on charity overhead, and the distributions could be tied to having certain percentages met.

To piggy back on Matty's SS Disability comments, I believe non-government bodies would never make the application so convoluted that you get a 30% initial success. Yes you want only qualified applicants, but you don't want to feed the bureaucratic machine and lawyers around it. For example of the 70% disapproved on round 1 I would be curious what percent got lawyers (I know tons of lawyers bottom feed on this work) and got approved "a year or two" later. If they really have disabilities, you want them to get approved and get the help they need the first go around.

There are hundreds or thousands of charities that use money effectively (far more so than the government) and you have to have some governmental bureaucracy, so let the bureaucracy churn its wheels approving charities to help, then let the charities actually help people without bureaucratic overhead.

Also, divvying up the pie for local gov'ts is too much responsibility but figuring out who out of 360,000,000 people is right down their alley?

Set up standards for the local governments to file requests, let them fight the federal bureaucracy and let the people who need help have local branches that suit their population. NYC needs a heck of a lot different set up then Helena, Wyoming

Not everything makes sense to federalize it. Again, the fed bureaucracy can set basic standards of service, and have their bureaucratic fun but let state and local elected officials and charities do the work at the person to person level.

There’s nothing convoluted about the application, it’s very straight forward. Some main reasons why people get denied initially... they don’t cooperate with the process, ie don’t go to consultative exams or don’t return required forms or requests for follow up information. Also, we don’t screen out applicants. Even though you need to have a condition that is either terminal or will keep you out of work for at least a year, if you insist on filing due to your sprained pinky you can file. I’d say non cooperation and filing for mild injuries/conditions account for a significant amount of initial denials. Having a lawyer is a complete waste of money. All it buys is a false sense of security. They fill out the same paperwork we fill out for applicants and they often do a much worse job.

I guess the stat I would be interested to know, but quite honestly not interested enough to dig it out myself, is of the 64% that are disqualified, how many are found to be qualified at a later stage.

To me "non-cooperation" and failure to file forms is exactly the bureacratic side of it that I say should be between Govt and Nonprofits/charities, not between the govt and the disabled person who needs the help. The filing for mild injuries/conditions certainly is what taxpayers would hope would be the largest percent of rejections to be and if it's over 90% then I would reconsider my position, but even in that, non-governmental organizations can, imo, evaluate and direct people who should not be receiving disability aid more effectively and personably then a government bureaucrat who is tasked with NOT screening out applicants.

Ohio First Graders Removed 'School Safety Gun' From Case In Administrative Office

Ohio school officials were stunned when they discovered that two first grade students had managed to remove a gun intended for school safety from an unlocked box in an administrative office, The Columbus Dispatch reported Friday.

The frightening incident underscores fears that plans to arm teachers supported by President Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association could end up instead putting guns in children’s — or an untrustworthy teacher’s — hands, with catastrophic consequences. Trump wants 20% of teachers armed even though 59% of Americans don’t want any teachers packing guns in schools.

Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.

For the record I first fired a .22 rifle at 7 and have been a gun owner since I was 18 when I bought a .38 revolver. That was 40 years ago. 40 years ago mass shootings were rare, also suicides by teenagers and young adults were at 1/2 the rate they are now. One of the big differences I see in that time frame is how many kids are diagnosed with ADHD and the like and medicated. I have known families where all 3 kids were on pills. I guess I am lucky being born in the early 60's. I was always on the honor roll, but wound a little too tight. My solution was exercise, that would knock the edge off so I could concentrate whether at work or school. That actually continued till I was in my early 30's. If I didn't get a morning run in before heading to work I was bouncing off the walls all day. if I was born 30 years later I probably would have been given elephant tranquilizers daily.

I just see too many parents drugging their kids as a problem. Also it seems a lot of psychologists, like that idiot on TV, Dr Phil act like pills and counseling are a cure all for everything. Dr Phil thinks there is no such thing as a bad kid. Some people are just evil and need to be monitored closely, or better yet locked up. The idea that someone who has displayed repeated past disturbing behavior is fixed by meds is absurd.

The retired US Navy Adm. William McRaven, a Navy SEAL who oversaw the raid that took out al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in 2011, gave a bleak assessment of President Donald Trump and alleged the commander in chief was gutting the country of the "nation's principles."
McRaven recounted in a New York Times opinion column a military ceremony he recently attended at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he reflected upon the thousands of US service members who marched on the parade field before him.
McRaven pointed out what he said were examples of the US neglecting its duty to be the "the protectors of the less fortunate" — including Trump's recent decision to withdraw troops from Syria as Turkish-backed militants wage war against the once US-backed Kurdish militia.
McRaven added that Trump "is wrong" to think empathy is "unimportant" or shows "weakness."

The gas mask just brought back a memory as the guy I mentioned wore his motorcycle helmet walking in and out of the building during shift change because of the large crowds at the guard shack.

[QUOTE=Back2RFK;1246363]What are you talking about. 90% of his base probably used the term "Liberal" weekly and some daily. Nothing is wrong being called a liberal unless your liberal and do not believe in what you say you stand for.[/QUOTE]



What I meant was that 90% of his base who I consider to be mostly the dregs of society - mostly - never spoke of politics in their life. Suddenly now liberal is a four letter word to them.

People that make such statements boggle my mind. There is human gutter trash that vote for people on both sides. I bet if you took an actual count they would be equal numbers. In fact the choice for president in 2016 were between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't vote for either one.

What boggles my mind is how Trump could be so crass, so divisive, such a liar, such a petulant child and the sheep worship him like the messiah. He is far and away thee single biggest trash to ever set foot in the Oval Office. Sick of hearing comparisons between him n HC or Obama or anyone for that matter. He is pure garbage as a person or as a president. And i stand by my statement that 90 percent of his sheep are trash too. Sorry if it boggles your mind.

He is only president because of who he ran against. Anyone who holds Hillary in high regard has no business ripping Trump 24-7. he is human garbage, so is she. She just has a filter and watches what she says and does because she always wanted political power at any cost. At least with Trump what you see is what you get, if you think Hillary is the same behind the scenes as in front of the camera your political bias has made you blind.
